there's a new game in town
economic development proposal
zen destiny
years ago i developed the concept of a unique arena soccer game..
it's domain is an approximate ~o', 12-sided, 4-goal field. 2 teams of
5 persons each compete, utili-zing 2 balls, continually in play.
each team has 2 goalkeepers guarding. nets directly across from
each other. each -has ,3 field players vying for 2 balls. an
automated ball drop device 15' directly above the center of the field
releases a ball the moment one is scored, always keeping two in
play. the nets will have the capacity to slow the ball but. allow it to
go through the back.
there will also be four 18'' round portals, :2'° up on the walls between
goal space, which. will be closed shut during regular play but
,opened at the end ofeach period for a free kick from each player
from approx. 25-3o feet,depending on skill level, which. can also be
-.used for benign penalties.
the game has the potential to be extraordinarily fast. and exciting
due to random variables sequencing to multiple tactical avenues.
the combination of multi-directional goals; offensive/defensive
strategies, 2 balls always in play and the uncertainty of the speed of
directional possibilities should intrigue current aficionados and
attract a new generation of spectators .that previously viewed soccer
with indifference. it has an eclectic allure.
I'm visualizing a state of the art;. regular soccer complex on the side
of the fairgrounds, anchored byan arena of this game. imagine the
draw. teams coming here to compete in regular tournaments
-would have the additional. attraction of being.able to hold separate,
adjacent tournaments in the arena. believe me when i° say, this will
fly.
soccer is the most popular sport in the, world. this game is a
distillation of; and expansion of.its attributes, with random
variables evolving and revolving like mathematical fractals.
it. has vast potential..
i want this city to be the home of this ;game.
and because ,'ve developed an affinity fore it.'s people,
i want to give the first game to the city.
therefore;. while i retain intellectual property of it,
sh'oul,d she so choose, Petaluma may,have this game.for free,
to be used as cornerstone seed :to generate the. sufficient will
necessary to manifest a soccer sports complex at the fairgrounds-.
tlZe uniqueness of the game would .differentiate us_ frorn other cities
which capture significant .revenue through similar complexes.
-this could Have historic significance for your town.
'should this.-~no;tion attain realization,
my uggeston is that, we set aside sufficient funds and prize money
to contract with the span frarcis~co museum of modern art
to hold abay-wide area architectural contest to design the arena.
~oh, and the :game needs a name, ~ .,
the Warne of~the game`s working title is... Whirl:
