	==Gameplay==		==Gameplay==
		+	Indoor soccer is a standard five-on-five soccer game on the computer. It is a two-player game only as there is no one-player vs. the computer option. With it being an indoor arena that the players play in, there is no out-of-bounds or throwing in which makes the gameplay much faster and easier. Players also don't have to concern themselves with offsides as it's not possible to do during gameplay. Each player chooses a name for his/her team, and the length of the game is determined at the beginning of the game. Each player controls his/her players using half of the keyboard as shown in the user's manual, requiring both players to sit right next to each other during the game. Alternatively, the teams can be controlled using remote controls. The player actually only controls one player on the field indicated by a dot on the chest. All other players are controlled by the computer. The object is just like in a regular game of soccer, score more goals than your opponent.

 ====Elimination Tournament====
 An elimination tournament is played in a series of rounds. Each team only plays one other team in a round, and the winner goes forward to the next round. As the rounds progress, the number of teams playing is divided by two until eventually the final round is held between two teams. Printed below is a chart to record the results in each round and to show which team goes forward into the next round. The chart is set up for eight teams; however, you can start with more teams or with fewer teams. If there is an odd number of teams competing in any round, one of the teams is given a "bye." This means that it goes through to the next round automatically without playing a game. To determine who plays whom and also which team gets a bye, hold a drawing. After the first round of competition, you can either draw from all the winning teams from the first round, or you can set up the chart so that the winner of the first game in the previous round plays the winner of the second game in the previous round and so on.

	Normally teams are awarded two points for a win, one for a draw, and zero for a loss. However, you may wish to experiment with other systems which have been considered, such as scoring ten points for a win, five for a draw, and zero for a loss, with each side also being awarded one point for each goal scored. Thus, if a game ends with a score of 1 to 0, the winning team is awarded eleven points and the losing team, zero. In a seven-seven draw, both teams are awarded twelve points.

		+	===Competitions===
		+	It can be a lot of fun to organize competitions between yourself and your friends on a regular basis. You may want to try some of these possibilities.
		+
		+	====Leagues====
		+	You can set up a league of several teams. In normal leagues, each team plays every other team twice, at home and away; but you may wish to shorten the number of games by playing only one game between teams. The blue players could represent the home team, and the red players could be the visiting team. An example of a league chart is illustrated here:
