25-second pick · +100

Road tennis One in a Krillion

10 letters · 2 words · ~3s to type · 31 accepted answers on the sheet

Avoid the franchise or event that fills sports-bar talk. We would type Road tennis: One in a Krillion, +100, 10 letters, about 3 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Badminton, Ping pong, or Tennis — those are Plankton. It is also the One in a Krillion on this sheet, so the rare pick and the typeable pick are the same.
