About the World Bola Association
How a backyard game became a championship.
The origin story
PLACEHOLDER — who invented Bola, when, and why. This is the one substantial piece of copy the site still needs: the story of the invention, how it grew from a backyard game into an association with an annual championship, and what led to forming the WBA. Once written, it replaces this block.

The Bola Graveyard
Every eliminated bola retires here — a wooden rack that holds the bolas taken out of play once a Poison Bola catches up with them. It sits at the edge of the field for the length of the tournament: a quiet reminder of how many bolas started, and how few are left by the end.
