Bicz has gained a certain level of recognition due to its association with the European game known as Blink Ball [ʂɨpkʲɛ mrugaɲɛ pʲiwkʲi], which bears some resemblance to American Football but features a distinct Polish adaptation. This intricate game involves two teams,[2] namely the offense and defense, and its primary objective is to be the first to reach a predetermined point threshold. In order to score a point, a consecutive sequence of passes must be executed, meeting the stipulated criteria and avoiding any rule infractions or Penalty.
