Rules:

This game is part sport, part endurance art and has been proposed at several arts festivals but never selected, for obvious reasons.  With a reference to endurance competitions like dance marathons of the Great Depression, 11 hour soccer is a soccer game that, well, lasts 11 hours, one per each player on the field. The goal of the game is to conserve energy to play the entire match. Each team is allowed five substitutions. If anyone is insane enough to run this game please keep us advised of the results!
