Mini-football game with spring-mounted model players - deflecting ball when hit so player must avoid them to score

摘要

A game of mini-football is played on a court measuring 5m x 1.3m with a goal extending over the full width of the court. A number of dummies representing players and standing about 0.6m high are placed at various points over the court. Each dummy is fixed by a spring so that it deflects when hit by the ball. Some of the dummies rotate about a vertical axis, others slide horizontally on their fixing rails. The ball is placed at the opposite end to the goal and the player tries to score a goal without striking any of the dummies.
