A.I. has created a new sport called Speedgate by analyzing data on 400 existing sports. There were a lot of bad ideas, but Speedgate actually works for humans to play.
The rules:
1. Each team has six players. You use a rugby ball and when a player has the ball they can't move (like ultimate frisbee) so you either have to pass it or try to score.
2. The field is 180 feet long, with goals at each end called “gates.” Each gate has two posts and you score by kicking the ball through the gate from either direction.
3. There is also a gate at the center of the field. You have to kick the ball through this one before being able to score at one of the other gates. (It unlocks scoring)
4. Each goal is worth two points…three if a teammate catches the ball and kicks it back through the gate. Each game has three 7-minute periods.
If you want to play I hear an intramural league is starting in Oregon this summer. You could set up your own league if you can find enough people who understand the rules.
