Hey, at least you are thinking.

One thing that just about all rules I have read from the original creators of electric football games (i.e.. Tudor, Coleco, Gotham, and Munro) all included a basic way to play their game that required a basic knowledge of football rules. They also encouraged players to create variations to make the game more exciting.

I also collect football board games which also suggest that the people who play these games have as a prerequisite, a basic knowledge of actual football rules.

I think for the most part, we here in the US who play electric football, have a distinct advantage over you or the majority of people in Europe or other foreign countries, in that we grew up watching football on TV, playing backyard football or playing organized football from a very early age.

I know that because my Dad was such a hugh football fan, that even before I had an electric football game, I had numerous football board games that I played hours upon hours.

Basically, I say all that just to encourage you to keep thinking. I really hope that you are successful in bringing the game to an international level.

And, heck, if you create a NEW WAY TO PLAY, maybe we will join you!!! You certainly have brought customizing figures to a new level.
