The Shootout Rules are a Universal Ruleset...
for Shootout gameplay.
The difference is very minute in that it needs to be further enhanced for pro play and college play. That is being done before your very eyes by the discussions shown. For instance, we now know there is a difference in the "Tackle Eligible scenario between high school, college, and pro."
Just by your experience, it better serves the good of the game. I have lost some games in the past as the "experimental guinea pig" that came up on the short end of the stick of a call that I felt was unjustified! It happens to all of us.
But the rules are universal (that we play under) because I know I use these rules for the BAM, when I go to LA, in the DFW, or in the CBSMF or more importantly, in my solitaire league. So for me, these are my universal rules.
In other styles of play, they've got their universal ruleset too. Been in the game WAY TOO LONG to know what you are speaking of will never happen. So I play with what has been best entertaining for me over the course of time.
