A new sport · Born in Olympic City USA

Three ways to score.
One goal.
No dead time.

A continuous-play contact field sport with no downs, no huddles, and a scoring decision the crowd reads with the players. First public games: Colorado Springs, 2027.

Three scores · One goal · Always live

The game

Fusionball takes the territorial battle of football, the continuous possession of rugby and soccer, and the multi-value scoring of basketball, and puts them on one field. Possession flows until it's taken. Every attack carries a live decision: take the points now, or keep going for more.

6
Touchdown

Carry or catch the ball in the end zone. Then the point-after starts instantly, with the defense still live.

3
Target

Throw it through the 4-foot target ring mounted on the crossbar. From anywhere, at any time, including on the run.

1
Uprights

Throw or kick it through the uprights, any time. No set piece required.

How it plays

  • 80-minute games on a fixed clock, including a 15-minute half
  • 11 players a side, 15-player rosters, one non-playing coach
  • American-style ball; forward, backward, and lateral passing; carried or kicked
  • No downs. No huddles. Turnovers reverse play instantly
  • Kicks happen in live play, not set pieces
  • A touchdown resolves to 6, 7, or 9: the point-after is live, and the scorer can dunk it for three

Why spectators stay

  • Constant possession, no lining up between plays
  • The crowd reads the decision with the players: take the 1, or go for 6?
  • Scores are always on the board: a 3 and a 1 beat a touchdown's lead
  • Comebacks are always arithmetic away
  • Athletes are hybrids. Every player runs, throws, catches, kicks

4Saturdays

The Fusionball Colorado Springs Invitational. Locally formed teams, as many as the Colorado Springs area can field, playing pool games over three weekends and a championship on the fourth. Saturday afternoons into the evening, under the lights at Ragain Field. The first public games of a new sport: played, filmed, and launched here. Dates for the 2027 season are set with City Parks. The winner is the first Fusionball county champion.

Own your team

The players are the owners

Every team has sixteen units: fifteen players and one coach. One person, one unit, one vote. Only the people on the team can own it, and only while they are on it. Ownership ends when membership ends.

Keep spectators entertained longer

The most compelling mechanics from other sports, with the dead time removed.

Remove owner disinterest

No investors, no absentee owners. The only people who own a team are the people who play for it.

Earn at every level

League surplus goes to teams by finish, and every team earns a share of the tickets, passes, and merch it sells. County, state, national: the pyramid is climbed by winning, never bought.
