BALL GAME AND APPARATUS

摘要

For a ball game of the football type, a structured goal having a rigid surface that has a hemispherical outline and includes multiple colored zones for graded scoring purposes is provided, together with a layout for a playing field or pitch that limits player access near the goal by team, and a set of rules. The rigid goal lets the ball bounce back. For scoring purposes the zones may be equipped with individual zone impact-indicating means such as bells, electrical transducers, nearby cameras, or be supported on hinged mounts in order to show an impact by movement. The layout, the rules and the goal structure are intended to provide a faster game with higher score numbers.

1. Apparatus including a goal structure and a set of rules for a ball game to be played on a playing field having a horizontal field surface, in which the players of each of two competing teams endeavour to collect a higher score than the other team by directing a ball at one of two goals while defending their own goal; wherein the goal structure presents a semicircular player surface toward the playing field; a diameter of the semicircle is placed upon the field surface and an upper edge of the goal is extended upward while physically supported at a selected angle or tilt relative to the field surface, the semicircular player surface comprises a plurality of colored and visually distinctive concentric zones symmetric within the scoring face; each zone having a designated value to be added to the team's score if hit by the ball after an acceptable sequence of play as determined by the set of rules has taken place; said set of rules allocating a higher score to a more central zone of the player surface.
