The creators of the -Battle 6.2- ruleset are currently in talks with a major streaming service for a reality competition series. Tentatively titled "Playground Kings," the show would feature 16 athletes living together and competing in daily Street Brawlers challenges.
Furthermore, a gear manufacturer is prototyping "smart playground equipment" that measures impact force and swing velocity, turning the match into a real-time data spectacle.
