Famous Controversies: you make the call
Famous Controversies is a free 3D umpiring game about disputed decisions. Each case file holds five famous calls, recreated in 3D. Make each call yourself, then read what was given on the day, the argument, and what the Laws say. Our team adds new case files.
How to play
- Open a case file of five cases.
- Watch each disputed decision played again in 3D.
- Give it out or not out before the time runs out.
- Read the story: the decision given on the day, the argument, and the answer under the Laws.
- See how many of the five you got right.
Scoring
Each call that matches the Laws scores 20, so a file is out of 100. You are marked against the Laws, never against what was given on the day.
Case files
Case files are numbered, and a case is never asked twice. The answer under the Laws comes from Plumb's own engine, so it always matches what the scene shows. Opening a case file uses Energy, which refills by itself.
