Akilini

Akilini was the official sport of Metru Nui, and drew hundreds of spectators for every match. There were pick-up games played on improvised fields all over the city.

In Akilini, teams of three to six Matoran competed to see who could throw more disks through the scoring hoops. Tournament matches were played on the constantly shifting and undulating field of the Coliseum, with hoops mounted along the top of the arena. A special set of chutes was lowered over the top of the Coliseum and players were allowed to use them in maneuvers. The essence of the game was speed and skill, and the physical nature of the sport lead to a lot of fouls.

There were three tiers of Akilini competition. The lowest rung featured play with power level 1-6 disks, the middle rung with level 7 disks, and the best players were allowed to compete with level 8 disks.
