Yes, for a specific set of battlegames and there are special rules for them.
It's shameful.

Special Rules
Net: Will be represented by bath towels
Stuns a limb for 10 seconds when struck.
Stuns a torso for 5 seconds when struck.
Acts like a Earth Bind when both legs are stuck.
Must be held in at least one hand by the middle of the long side of the towel. (No rat tailing!!!)
May be thrown
May be used to block weapons.


I think for blocking purposes they can only be hit 5 times before they are destroyed.
In times like these, it's helpful to remember that there have always been times like these- Paul Harvey

It is actually pretty fun and a very safe mechanic as you can't get ANY velocity on it, and held in the middle it cannot really wrap a neck.

sounds pretty sweet, any specific dimensions on the cloth? Something like 2'x2' or larger?
