Somehow this reminded me of a football variant (soccer for americans) that has two balls in play, either ball is good as the other.

I wondered about this recently and assumed one reason this sort of thing doesn't catch on for mainstream sports like football (soccer) or basketball is because it'd be a mess to spectate/broadcast. Sounds fun though!

Incidentally there seems to be a chess/draughts like game rather inspired by football, called Diabolik.
