WELCOME TO TRASHDOME!
This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.
Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;
Two games enter! One game leaves!

This one is a toughy. But I think I like Pitchcar just a tad better,

JonJacob, those jump shots are just tricks and not legal shots. The disc is clearly not touching the outer ring.

1st: It touches
2nd: You could move the disc forward and instead of flicking press the back down and make it jump that way (this is how it's done in game, but we do this in pitchcar too).
3rd: There's at least five different rule sets I've seen in Ontario alone.

A few people voted for Crokinole despite considering PitchCar to be a more fun game, which doesn't make sense to me. When choosing a game to play I always go for the one that's more fun.

Everyone getting their digs in eh??
Sometimes the nostalgia of a game, being a part of childhood and one of those rare experiences where you get older and say "hey, I was right this time... odd... the game actually is really good, and difficult too." because most games from childhood aren't nearly as good as we remember so when they are. It feels great.
AT isn't just about fun, it's also about nostalgia.
BUT... crokinole is more fun. Mainly because it never overstays it's welcome,and I'm always ready for a second game. A long track in pitchcar with 6 players can drag at times.

The goal of PitchCar is to avoid your opponents. The goal of Crokinole is to hit them. Is there really any question?

Isn't there an official trash variant to Pitch Car that makes you *want* to knock your opponent off the track?
Well, maybe it was just a house rule. Made the game pretty fun, anyway.
