3 Point Enterprises Texas A&M FIKI Football Game, As Seen on NBC's Today Show!
FIKI FOOTBALL RULES
FIKI FOOTBALL (Flick It & Kick It Football) is reminiscent of paper or triangle football, the table top game loosely based on American football in which a sheet of paper was folded into a small triangle and slid back and forth across a tabletop by two opponents in an attempt to score a touchdown. Field goals and extra points were scored by flicking the football through the opponents outstretched fingers fashioning a goalpost.
Today, FIKI FOOTBALL has replaced the folded sheet of paper. The FIKI FOOTBALL features the characteristics of a real football including genuine leather, a pro-style pebble surface, laces and coil stitching. It also features the logos of every NFL team and more than 60 colleges and universities.
The playing surface should be a rectangle table resembling the shape of a football field. The players stand at opposite ends of the table. The principal object of the game is to flick or slide (a pass)the FIKI FOOTBALL down the table so the football comes to rest with any portion of it hanging over the edge of the table at your opponent's end without falling off resulting in a "touchdown".
A possession is made up of three passes in an attempt to score a touchdown. There are variations of how to pass; the FIKI FOOTBALL. A pass is made by flicking the football with the thumb and index or middle finger or sliding it by placing two or three fingers on top of the ball and using a sliding motion toward the opposite end of the table.
The "touchdown" is worth six points. The player who has just scored the touchdown then attempts the extra point by teeing-up the football at their end of the table and flicking it (called a kick)through the goalpost (placed at the opposite end of the table) worth one point.
If, after three passes, the ball fails to reach the opposite end of the table, the opponent then "receives possession" from that point where the ball came to rest.
Play continues until a player scores a touchdown or the FIKI FOOTBALL is knocked completely off of the table. If it goes off the end of the table, the opponent gets to attempt a field goal worth three points. A pass which goes off of the side of the table is considered "out of bounds" and the opponent is awarded possession from that point.
The game is played until one participant scores a predetermined number of points and is then recognized as the winner.
