In _Basquash!_ , there is a sport called Big Foot Basketball (BFB), and one
called Basquash, both of which seem to be derivatives of basketball played
using mechas.

Is there any difference between BFB and Basquash, or are they simply two names
for the same thing?

Is there a difference between BFB and Basquash?


BFB seems to be the professional mecha-basketball sport, where as Basquash is
a 'street' version of the game.

Basquash is the unofficial name for Big Foot Streetball and comes from 'baka'
and 'sukasu', explained below

So, the sports are very similar, they're just slightly different.
