Tips

culture
Teqball is a sport invented in Hungary in 2014 — players bounce a football across a curved, table-tennis-like table without using their hands or arms. The name 台克球 is a phonetic loan: (tái, table) + (kè, sound for 'q') + (qiú, ball).
register
Very new word — not yet in CC-EDICT or Xinhua. Appears in sports-news contexts as the sport gains traction in Asia.
