We will play 5 minute quarters on All Pro.
This is a FAIR play league. Dont abuse glitches in the game. If you have a question as to what a glitch in the game is the ask me prior to you playing any games. Abusing glitches will not be allowed and will result in 1 warning and then if abused again then removal from the league.
Do not contstantly run the same plays. Dont run a fly or hook every play. Dont roll out and scramble everytime. Do not run a dive, off tackle or toss every play. Dont run the same play every time you get in a big 3rd down. You get the point. Dont run the same thing every other play. Mix it up. If you watch an NFL game you will not see them run the same play everytime. I will give some specific rules below. I am not mentioning everything that cannot be done so just because I didnt mention it doesnt mean you can do it. DO NOT PLAY CHEAP.
Play selection is very important to the league. Again, mix it up.
Do not play players out of position. A few exceptions will be made for certain cases.
Defense: Do not blitz everytime. Be creative. If you do blitz then you are not allowed to make any other shifts of dline or linebackers.
The only plays that will be allowed to be run multiple times (in a possesion) will be the base defenses such as cover 2, cover 2 man, and cover 3.
Goal line may only be ran inside the 5 yard line or a 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1.
Pinching the dline may only be used on 3rd and 3 or less or 4th and shorts NO OTHER TIMES.
Dont move a player manually presnap (the only exception will be a safety 2 steps only).
Dont control the defensive end and loop around the tackle! You must engage the tackle first.
No manually controlling the cb and jamming a wr.
Offense: Again I stress the mix it up and play realistic. Dont run the same play to many times (I will set a percent limit to selecting an individual play). Dont just use 1 formation on offense as well. MIX IT UP and run many formations and give different looks and plays JUST LIKE THE NFL.
If you audible then give the defense time to adjust dont snap it quickly.
There will be "money plays". You are not allowed to have a couple plays you run in every key down of the game.
Running out the clock: You can only kneel on the ball in the in the 4th quarter under 2 minute warning and in 2nd quarter under 1 minute. No running out the clock by using up the whole play clock to snap the ball over and over. This will not be allowed. Play fair and be respectfull.
Hurry up offense: You can not overuse this. Dont run it more than 35% of the game. If you are winning by 14 or more than you are not allowed to use this at all. NO HURRY UP OFFENSE IS ALLOWED EVER AFTER AN INCOMPLETION. Remember that you are not to use one play to much. So dont just run it because they cant stop a play. If you use it switch your play.
4th down:You can only go for it on 4th down if you are past the 50 yard line and 4th and 3 or less. 4th and inches you may go for it anywhere on the field. If you are losing in the 4th quarter than you may go for it in any case. If you are up by 14 in second half use your judgement wisely and have respect.
Do not send a player in motion to find out if the opponet is in zone or man. This is not allowed.
Use play action is realistic situations only.
No lobbing the ball to recievers all game.
Dont manually take control of recievers on bombs to get a speed boost.
Respect and fair play: If you are beating your opponet by a large margin then be respectfull and fair. Dont run the score up on your opponet (THIS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED). If it is under 2 minutes and you have the lead then kneel on the ball if you can run the clock out. Dont try and run up the score or raise your stats.
I can add rules to this list. So check the announcements and check the rules to find out if I have added anything to the league rules. I will look at play percentages and set limits when the game is out.
Recording stats: It is mandatory for both teams to report their stats for the game.
