Menage a Trois Soccer
Sounds fantastic. My only suggestion is to ditch the name “Three-sided” and call it “Menage a Trois”.
When we were kids, and we only had 12 players for a baseball game, we’d create three teams: 4 infielders, 3 outfielders + pitcher, 4 batters. After three outs, we simply rotated (infielders go to outfield, and batters to infield). Worked out wonderfully. It was fairly easy to lose track of score, but, we didn’t really care.
I don’t think the Menage a Trois soccer can apply to hockey. First, you are really limited to the ice. But, even if you do this for street hockey, I think you will lose the fluidity in the game because players will be too clustered. That’s my guess anyway.
Basketball wouldn’t work either, because in that game, it’s practically always a 5-on-5 game. Players are not spread out like soccer. So, a Menage a Trois basketball would have say 3-on-3-on-3, which is really 6-on-3. But then again, with two ends left unguarded, you might have two guys back at all times, so it would be 4-on-3, with the two other guys guarding the net for a fast break. So, I take that back. I think it might work pretty well for basketball.
