Three sided football

[ciphergoth]

I am filled with a sudden and inexplicable urge to organise a game of three sided football.

It seems to me that it would make a great spectator sport - there would always be a lot of goals because many battles will be two teams against one, and whoever was ahead (had the least goals) would always be under most pressure...

I don't know if you got a copy of the Playing Politics books, but it's in there, with the rule that when team A concedes a goal, both B and C 'score' one, regardless of which one scored it.

There are also optional rules about swapping players between teams.

There is a big sports field just through a hedge at BiCon this year...

I know I'm now too late to get this in the programme, but I'm very tempted to post to bicon and see if anyone's up for it!

This actually might be a form of football which i would enjoy.

Do you fancy meeting for a beverage of your choice at some point? I am currently having a bit of time off from uni.

That does actually make football start to sound quite interesting, which is quite a bizarre thought for me! :oP

This is a concept I have thought about many times and would like to see not only a game, but a small league developed to see if alliances form etc.

If you could combine it with a drinking game...
