Abstract
The present invention is a method for a new, modified version of soccer that is configured to produce a faster-paced game and a more exciting viewership and playing experience by increasing the amount of scoring scenarios and goals scored. The modified game involves a unique ending designed to end every game on goal. This is accomplished by establishing a Target Score after the regulation period ends and having each team try to score the Target Score in a final Target Score Time.
