Baseball-Like Archery Game, System and Method

摘要

Provided in various example embodiments is a baseball-like archery game, system and method comprising various steps such as positioning archery targets in a plurality of positions on a field corresponding to defensive positions of baseball players in a baseball game, and having players on an offense team shoot arrows from the home plate area toward the archery targets, thereby accruing single, double, triple, or home-run base hit statuses depending on which target is hit, or, alternatively, striking-out when a predetermined number of shots miss an aimed-for target. A player may also be out when a player on a defense team successfully hits the same target hit by the offense player. While the players do not actually run the bases or go out in the field except to retrieve arrows, the scoring and other rules may largely mimic those of baseball.

a) positioning archery targets in a plurality of positions on a field corresponding to defensive positions of baseball players in a baseball game; b) providing two teams of shooters, initially assigning a first team as offense shooters and a second team as defense shooters, and assigning each archery target to a corresponding defense shooter; c) a first offense shooter shooting an arrow at one of the archery targets from a position on the field corresponding to a batting position of a baseball player in a baseball game;
a. if the first offense shooter hits one of the archery targets with the arrow, then:
i. a defense shooter assigned to the archery target that the first offense shooter hit with the arrow, shoots an arrow at the archery target that the first offense shooter hit with the arrow, from a position on the field corresponding to a batting position of a baseball player in a baseball game;
1. if the defense shooter hits the archery target that the first offense shooter hit with the arrow, then the first offense shooter accrues the status of being out; and2. if the defense shooter misses the archery target that the first offense shooter hit with the arrow, then the first offense shooter accrues a preselected base hit status corresponding to the archery target that the first offense shooter hit with the arrow, the preselected base hit status selected from the group consisting of: single, double, triple, and home run;b. if the first offense shooter misses all of the archery targets with the arrow, then the first offense shooter repeats step c);c. if the first offense shooter repeats step c) a preselected number of times without hitting any of the archery targets, then the first offense shooter accrues the status of being out; d) a second offense shooter shooting an arrow at one of the archery targets from a position on the field corresponding to a batting position of a baseball player in a baseball game;
a. if the second offense shooter hits one of the archery targets with the arrow, then:
i. a defense shooter assigned to the archery target that the second offense shooter hit with the arrow, shoots an arrow at the archery target that the second offense shooter hit with the arrow, from a position on the field corresponding to a batting position of a baseball player in a baseball game;
1. if the defense shooter hits the archery target that the second offense shooter hit with the arrow, then the second offense shooter accrues the status of being out; and2. if the defense shooter misses the archery target that the second offense shooter hit with the arrow, then the second offense shooter accrues a preselected base hit status corresponding to the archery target that the second offense shooter hit with the arrow, the preselected base hit status selected from the group consisting of: single, double, triple, and home run; and the preselected base hit status, if any, accrued by the first offense shooter who is not out advances based on the base hit status accrued by the second offense shooter;b. if the second offense shooter misses all of the archery targets with the arrow, then the second offense shooter repeats step d);c. if the second offense shooter repeats step d) a preselected number of times without hitting any of the archery targets, then the second offense shooter accrues the status of being out; e) a third offense shooter shooting an arrow at one of the archery targets from a position on the field corresponding to a batting position of a baseball player in a baseball game;
a. if the third offense shooter hits one of the archery targets with the arrow, then:
i. a defense shooter assigned to the archery target that the third offense shooter hit with the arrow, shoots an arrow at the archery target that the third offense shooter hit with the arrow, from a position on the field corresponding to a batting position of a baseball player in a baseball game;
1. if the defense shooter hits the archery target that the third offense shooter hit with the arrow, then the third offense shooter accrues the status of being out; and2. if the defense shooter misses the archery target that the third offense shooter hit with the arrow, then the third offense shooter accrues a preselected base hit status corresponding to the archery target that the third offense shooter hit with the arrow, the preselected base hit status selected from the group consisting of: single, double, triple, and home run; and the preselected base hit status, if any, accrued by the first offense shooter who is not out advances based on the base hit status accrued by the third offense shooter, and the preselected base hit status, if any, accrued by the second offense shooter who is not out advances based on the base hit status accrued by the third offense shooter;b. if the third offense shooter misses all of the archery targets with the arrow, then the third offense shooter repeats step e);c. if the third offense shooter repeats step e) a preselected number of times without hitting any of the archery targets, then the third offense shooter accrues the status of being out; f) awarding a point to the team of the offense shooters whenever an offense shooter attains a base hit status corresponding to home run; g) upon a preselected number of offense shooters attaining the status of being out, switching the team of offense shooters to being defense shooters and the team of defense shooters to being offense shooters; h) repeating steps c) through g) at least a predetermined number of times; and then i) determining a winning team based on which team was awarded the highest number of points.
