The leagues will be worldwide with a lower barrier to entry as the away team will watch in their stadium where the away players will play also in their own stadium. Players will be projected to the field where fans will be seated as close as possible to the action, games will not have breaks for adverts as these will be shown where natural gaps exist via augmented reality ads. Breaks will be longer to allow for washroom breaks, buying of merchandise, and food ordering. Due to no contact, the age limit is lowered to sixteen.
