Omegaball is a variation of
association football in which three
five-a-side teams play in a simultaneous competition with each other on a circular
pitch that is 60 yards in diameter. The distance from each goal to the center location is roughly 30 yards. Each team has a goal to protect, and the goals are evenly distributed along the perimeter of a circular field.
Teams accumulate one point for each goal they score against an opponent. They do not lose points for goals given up. In the case of an
own goal, each of the other two teams receives a point. The victor is the team that scores the highest number of points.
Games have a duration of 39 minutes, consisting of three 13-minute periods and 2 breaks between them.
