Notes: ADDON.ZIP contains the "ball" and the special tires to make it friction free. The "ball" will replace the second stock Leprechaun variant and the Leprechauns 14" tires. To undo any chages caused by adding this map, simply delete the associated VCF and WDF from your ADDON directory.


Description of the Map
-------------------------------

Quick retrofit of the map "HOCKEY!".  The terrain now is green, and surface friction has been restored to standard values.  

There are seperate benches for each team, lines to mark the arena, and a penalty box.  See below for basic gameplay rules.

Rules of Play
------------------------------

Most of the "rules" used can be decided at the start of each game depending on the number of players and the situation, but here are a few suggested rules that are intended to make it go more smoothly and to avoid arguements.

--No weapons are allowed (unless agreed upon ahead of time)

--The teams will consist of 1-3 players each on Red or Green, and one person on Purple to serve as the Ball and as Referee.  NOTE: The Player acting as Ball/Ref should use the included file provided by Lightfoot[FD].

--Each Kick-Off begins by having all players respawn and line up on their respective sides (outside of the center circle).  Once all players are set, the Ball/Ref respawns to start the round.

--Goals are counted when the Ball enters the goal bunker and completely crosses the line marking the front of the goal.

--After each goal, one member from the scoring team picks up the opposing team's flag and drives over their own team's flag circle to give themselves a point (the Red and Green flags are conveniently located next to eachother on the southern edge of the arena)

--A penalty is assessed if a player kills or destroys the puck (flipping, etc).  If there is doubt as to who caused the death, the last player to touch the puck receives the penalty.  The player serving as Ball/Ref has the final word in any disagreements.  Remaining players then line up for another face-off.

--Penalized players must drive into the Penalty Box (North edge of the arena, near the purple flag), where they are to remain until the next score or for a predetermined amount of time (5 minutes is suggested.)

--Most important of all, HAVE FUN!

NOTE:  Keep in mind that this is based on a modified hockey game and not true soccer.  Any rule changes that attempt to make it more like real soccer must be agreed upon ahead of time by all players involved.
