ABSTRACT:
A modified football game requires that players wear in-line skates and the field has a flat surface area having a substantially rectangular shape with two straight long sides and two second convexly curved short sides, a partial circular concavely curved second surface area bounding the first area and having a lower edge and an upper edge, the lower edge being contiguous with the edge of the first flat surface area, and the upper edge being remote from the flat surface area, and an upper flat lip surface area extending around the curved second surface area contiguous with its upper edge, and lines defining end zones proximate each of the second curved short sides of the flat surface area, each end zone having a flat surface area portion and a curved surface area portion of the curved second surface. The players skate on the flat area, the curved area and the lip. The players score a first amount of points for skating the ball into the end zone or catching the ball in the end zone in the flat surface area, and a second amount of points for catching the ball in the end zone on the curved area. There may also be a third highest amount of points for catching the ball in the end zone on an upper portion of the curved area. There are no goal posts, and thus there are no field goals or kicked point after attempts. The sides of the field corresponding to sidelines where the curved second surface area such as a quarter pipe or portion of a quarter pipe used in in-line skating is located is preferably a cut-off portion of quarter pipe, while the curved area in the end zone is preferably a full quarter pipe or a full quarter pipe with an extension upward, such that the height of the lip in the end zone is higher than that on the sidelines.
