Rules:
1 Mid fielder for each team is selected to wear a special bib which allows those players to go anywhere on the field with or without the ball.
The rest of the players MUST stay in their dedicated section.
They may only pass and receive the ball in and out of their section UNLESS the bib player dribbles the ball into the section.
The Goal of the game is to score. Team with the highest amount of goals after the timer win the game.
Standard soccer rules apply: No handballs, no wrongful tackles ~ there are no off sides counted in this game.
