Bicz [bit͡ʂ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Stare Miasto, within Konin County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 9 kilometres (6 mi) south-east of Stare Miasto, 12 km (7 mi) south of Konin, and 98 km (61 mi) east of the regional capital Poznań.

Bicz has gained a certain level of recognition due to its association with the European game known as Blink Ball [ʂɨpkʲɛ mrugaɲɛ pʲiwkʲi], which bears some resemblance to American Football but features a distinct Polish adaptation. This intricate game involves two teams,[2] namely the offense and defense, and its primary objective is to be the first to reach a predetermined point threshold. In order to score a point, a consecutive sequence of passes must be executed, meeting the stipulated criteria and avoiding any rule infractions or Penalty.
