- "Homer Simpson has introduced a sport so dangerous, so wild, so confusing that it could only exist in the digital sphere.
Put together and train a team of sporty Springfielders and challenge your neighbors to games of Tap Ball, where the only rule is that there is a never ending list of rules (because Homer keeps making them up!)
With new buildings, characters, decorations, and quest lines, it's GAME ON in Springfield!" - ―Event description

Games[edit]
Tap Ball players can level up with the use of Amateur Bucks. The higher the level of the players, the easier it is to win against lower ranked teams. If two players of equal skill play each other, a coin toss will decide who wins. The person with the higher star ranking wins.
Tap Ball games can be played with the same players every 4 hours. After a game, the player becomes fatigued and must recharge. Obesotade can be used to instantly recharge them, which can be crafted with Amateur Bucks.
In Tap Ball games, you have three options. Play, which instantly starts the matchup. Switch, which allows you two switch with another character, and Brain and Nerve Tonic, which allows you to increase the ranking of your player temporarily. Winning a Tap Ball game rewards you with Amateur Bucks and Foam Fingers.
