Non-Sentient Professional Greenputt Tour

OnALegendsArticle

"With the confirmation and certification of consistent game-play skills of three Ambrian neeks and a Taurill named Bortis, the Greenputt Governing Council today announced the formation of the Non-Sentient Professional Greenputt Tour (NSPGT)."
―HoloNet News report[1]

The Non-Sentient Professional Greenputt Tour was one of the major leagues for greenputt, a ball game[3] played on a field.[4] It was formed in 22 BBY[2] by the Greenputt Governing Council after the council certified the consistency of the game-play skills of the Taurill Bortis and three Ambrian neeks.[1]

Despite its official classification as semi-sentient[5] and inclusion in the "Non-Sentient" league,[1] the Taurill species was in fact fully sentient.[6] On the date 13:3:14, a news story titled "Yet Another Greenputt League" was published by the CoCo District Edition of the HoloNet News. It reported on the formation of the Tour and how it joined the prevously established greenputt leagues.[1]

Behind the scenes
