A basketball court has two hoops. {{w|Parallel bars}} can be thought of as two archways. Both have opportunities to pass through either (or both) structures, and so the material of the structures define a hole in the topological abstract of the playing 'space'. Since we are told that these sports fields belong to the Topology Department - and are not necessarily generalized to all sports fields - we might assume that their "football" field is either for {{w|Rugby_sevens|rugby}} or for American football using H-shaped {{w|Goal (sports)|uprights}}. | A basketball court has two hoops. {{w|Parallel bars}} can be thought of as two archways.

β | + | The lane dividers in a swimming pool are fastened to the walls of the pool at each end and so create many topological holes through the play area, and each hoop in {{w|croquet}} is similarly a hole through the space. The fact that the space in a swimming pool is typically filled with water{{citation needed}} has been overlooked by the topology department. Similarly, as mentioned in the title text, this configuration is also {{w|homeomorphism|homeomorphic}} to a {{w|foosball}} table (with each rod sustaining the player figures above the table defining a hole) or a {{w|Skee-Ball}} lane (which is even more straightforward, as it is just a plane with several holes in which to throw balls). These "fields" don't actually have the same number of holes, but are apparently lumped together by the Topology Department as having "many" holes. | |

Unfortunately, the Topology Department does not seem to have a field for {{w|hurdling}} events. | Unfortunately, the Topology Department does not seem to have a field for {{w|hurdling}} events. |
