Basically, I was quite bored one day, so I decided to invent a new sport, Office Foothockey, the game is brutal, the rules are simple and allow for innovation, and it's quite fun to play.
Office Foothockey:
Rules:
1.) There are no limits to the number of players that can play. However, each side must have an equal number of players.
2.) Two clearly delineated sides/teams must be in play for a game to occur.
3.) The game shall last for one hour, divided into four quarters, with a ten minute break occurring after the first two quarters. In the event of a tie, the game shall go into one or more quarters of overtime.
4.) Play shall only be interrupted when substituting players in event of injury or death.
5.) Scoring shall be as follows: Throwing the puck into the goal is worth *ONE* point. Kicking or slapping the puck into the goal with the stick is worth *TWO* points. Throwing the puck to a friendly receiver already behind the goal line is worth *SIX* points. Penalty shots are worth *TEN* points.
6.) There shall be two legitimate goals allowed for scoring. The goals are allowed to be moved, but the other team must be informed of such a change in goal position.
7.) The goal may take any shape or form; however, both teams must have identical goals.
8.) Penalties may only be incurred when a player causes the death of another player, or is directly responsible for knocking another player out of the game. A penalty shot is taken by a player of one team, against the goal of the opposing team. The penalty shot is done with the stick, and the only player that may block the shot or shot attempts is one designated goalie of the opposing team. The player taking the shot has 30 seconds to get it into the goal.
9.) The team with the highest number of points at the end of the gaming period wins the game.
10.) The game must be played with the equipment delineated below, and must not be played with any item prohibited below.
Equipment: All players must be equipped with:
1.) A suit: Consisting of a dress shirt, a necktie, a jacket and dress pants.
2.) A hockey mask: The mask must cover the entire face, and offer eye protection. A football helmet with eye protection may be substituted though.
3.) Padding and helmets are optional, as is any other form of un-motorized transport.
4.) All players must have a hockey stick. The stick shall follow NHL regulations regarding the sticks goaltenders use.
The Goal: See the rules above.
The Ball: The ball shall be a standard issue tennis ball, filled with wet sand.
Proscribed Equipment:
1.) Firearms, knives, incendiaries, noxious chemicals, poison, and any other implement designed by purpose to cause injury or death are prohibited unless agreed upon by both sides.
2.) Any other piece of equipment not intended to cause significant harm, but that both sides and game officials feel is detrimental to the game. This shall not apply to the prescribed equipment above.
