In 2016 the average attention span for an Australian male adult dropped to 7 minutes...
In this age of instant gratification that has seen the advent of T20, and the emergence of 9s footy.... What else can we bastardise to placate the needs of the 'easily bored'...

I'm suggesting -

One pin bowling - one pin, one frame and done...

Car racing - the Bathurst 1.0, one lap and done..

Chess; first person to take a piece wins.
Circular Quay to Cockatoo Island Yacht Race
10m springboard diving....hmm not sure how to shorten that....the water in the pool is only a metre deep maybe?

Or as an alternative to my chess idea of first piece wins, maybe it's a full game but if a player takes more than five seconds to make their move they get shot.

Soccer should be reduced to penalty shoots outs. First team to miss loses.

Darts. You just get given one dart each and the first to hit the board wins. But you both start 100m from the board. You can either throw it and hope for the best or run toward the board then throw it.

Also, NFL without time outs.

Love it..This would be great.. the commentators are always trying to say it's a sport and the players are athletes.. it would legitimise this claim! :grinning:

8 ball pool. Remove all the balls, just keep the 8 ball. Whoever sinks it first wins

Tennis. The tiebreaker only is played. 1 set

Rugby. First team to get a penalty goal wins.

F1. Whoever gets pole position wins.

It's like the "Le Mans" start, where the drivers have to run and jump into their cars.

Maybe the Le Mans 24 hour could just be shortened to the guy who can run into and start his car first...

Simpson's Softball Rules.. All though this sounds like it will make the game go longer..if the players stick to the rules..they'd probably all pass out by the bottom of the 4th! :-)
