The invention is an improved baseball game which reduces the time of play by having the participants start each at bat with two balls and two strikes, and which replaces the runs scored system of scoring with a scoring system that awards points for particular baseball plays and results.

By simultaneously modifying the baseball scoring system to a system that awards points for particular plays, particular results and sportsmanship, the invention will provide each player with a greater opportunity to influence the outcome of a game. Another object and advantage of the point system is that by rewarding particular baseball play, a greater emphasis will be placed on executing fundamental baseball skills.

In making both these changes simultaneously as one package, the invention has the object and advantage of creating a new and improved version of the traditional baseball game.

Systems and methods described herein may provide an adjustable magnetic attachment force for flag football and for determining a location in flag football. In some embodiments, a system comprises a flag and a wearable item, wherein the flag and the wearable item are configured such that a magnetic attachment force exerted between a first connector and a second connector attaches the flag to the wearable item. In some embodiments, a set comprises one or more flags and one or more wearable items, wherein an adjustable magnetic attachment force attaching the flags and wearable items is adjusted by replacing one or more magnetic components. In some embodiments, a system comprising a flag and a wearable item is configured to detect that contact between a first connector and a second connector has been broken and to automatically indicate a location associated with the contact being broken.

An apparatus for a ball stowable support is provided. The apparatus includes a frame, an elastic cover secured to the frame, and at least one leg supporting the frame. Each leg of the at least one leg has an opening. The opening is configured to retain a ball.

Games and systems for playing those games are described that are non-consequential, intuitively educational, reflective, and physically-interactive. The games can be played by players at a variety of skill levels and ages, using a set of unique cards and signs that direct the players to interact with one another and the game in ways that promote mental and physical development.

Disclosed is a method of playing a game. The method comprising providing a hexagon-shaped playing field with six boundary lines. Further, the method comprising providing a ball having the spherical shape similar to that of an American basketball. Further, the method comprising providing three baskets attached to three backboards attached to three poles, wherein each basket in the three baskets includes a net attached to a hoop, wherein each pole in the three poles is installed at three boundary lines in the six boundary lines respectively, wherein the three boundary lines are unconnected from each other. Further, the method comprising providing three teams of players comprising a first team of players associated with a first basket in the three baskets, a second team of players associated with a second basket in the three baskets and a third team of players associated with a third basket in the three baskets.

A bucket caddy stably holds a bucket or container above a horizontal support surface or ground for easier access to the contents of the bucket or container. The bucket caddy has a retainer with slots into which at least three legs are movably joined. The legs each have a shelf surface and a hook (U-shaped or crimped) or upstanding wall disposed at their proximal ends. When splayed apart, the shelf surfaces point radially inwardly toward the retainer with their top surfaces in a common plane onto which the bottom of the bucket may be positioned. The hooks receive straps or elastic bands, each of which has a fastener at its opposite end adapted to join a portion of a rim of the bucket. Length-adjustable means are associated with straps that are not elastic. Alternatively, belts or screws provide three point connection between the legs and the sidewall of the bucket. After the bucket or container is separated from the caddy, the legs rotate so that their central axes are parallel or substantially parallel to one another in a storage configuration. A hook and loop fastener tape wraps around the legs in the storage configuration.

An inflatable structure with a bottom portion capable of allowing the device to float in a body of water. A vertical tower structure extends upwards away from the bottom portion. Several arms extend away from the top of the vertical tower structure, each ending in an anchor point for receiving a string. At the end of each string is a tossable object. A goal is affixed to the side of the vertical tower structure corresponding with each tossable object. The purpose of the game is to toss the tossable object towards the goal and to hook the ring onto the hook or place the ball within the basket. The entire bottom portion, vertical tower, and arms are made of a single inflatable structure which can be deflated and stored or transported, and inflated to float in the body of water. Drink holders could be contained within the bottom portion.

Systems and methods according to embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a fitness deck of cards for managing a workout providing movements and number of repitions.
