Special Rules (Gamechangers)

The last 3 minutes of each half introduce randomized game-changing rules.

First Half Gamechangers

  • The Line: If a player scores from behind the offside line, the goal counts as double.
  • +1: A 1v1 with goalkeepers—if the attacking player scores, their team gains another player (2v2, then 3v3, etc.).
  • Threeplay: A 3v3 match with no goalkeeper, testing the players' attacking and defensive skills.

Second Half Gamechangers

  • 1v1: Only one player per team can attack at a time. Players can only shoot from behind the halfway line, with no hands allowed and a 15-second limit per attack.
  • Fast Forward: Once the ball crosses the halfway line, it cannot go back. If it does, the opposition is awarded a free kick.
  • Fairplay: No fouls allowed. If a player commits a foul, they receive a straight red card and are out for the rest of the half.
