Subbuteo

It's the only realistic way of completing the season that is fair on all parties.


The managers choose their squads for the game week.

A table is erected in a large sports hall.

The squads stand around the outskirts of the hall, abiding by social distancing.

Only one player may walk towards the table at a time.

The players can only flick their numbered subbuteo player.

The managers call out who they want to take each turn.

The referee will monitor the game in the pe teachers office via a screen.

The managers will be suspended from the ceiling either side of the pitch.

20 iphones will be placed around the pitch on facetime calls.
15 home fans, 5 away fans, which will bring the home advantage.

they could switch the server to the location of the player from the home side. Away players have to play with lag/latency

Did you know ? The name came about because the inventor wanted to name the game Hobby but was refused . So he used part of the Latin name for the Eurasian Hobby ( a small falcon like bird ) Falco subbuteo.

I never even noticed that but i have known for years that buteo is hawks/buzzards. Good info

I had a couple of bets on E games and watched them on Twitch a few weeks back. It was the most abysmal bit of entertainment ive seen since Stuart Pearce was in charge of City. Much prefer the ops plan!

Floodlit, or not? Batteries drain very quickly on Subbuteo floodlights.

The players can run on a large conveyor belt type treadmill around the outside of the hall to power the lights. Thus bringing fitness into play.
