Default Homework

I am home sick today so I decided to do some homework on these charts. I have used my charts for years updating them and changing them when I think of smething.

Length of game- I have that Miggle electric scoreboard so I play 15:00 quarters.

The clock stops for:

Change of possession- kickoffs, punts and turnovers
Any scoring play.
Penalties.
Incomplete passes and runs out of bounds only inside of 2 mionutes in the first half and the final 5 minutes of the game.

I also stop the clock briefly after a completion or interception to align the the defenders toward the ball carrier.

It takes a little over 2 hours 15 minutes to play a standard game without keeping stats after every play. Keeping the stats adds about a half an hour more. That is still around 3 hours a game.

I went back to my last 3 Super Bowls where I did write down the result of every play. The number of plays per game were 70, 74 and 82 plays.

I played 2 games today using the new pass charts.As for the new passing chart I roll 2 standard 6 sided dice with the dots before I throw the 10 siders. If no doubles came up I proceded to roll the 2 10 sided dice and tok the number to the coorisponding pass chart. In the two games the double ones came up 4 times. Double 2s- 0 Double 3s- 1 Double 4s- 2 Double 5s-1 and the biggie the double 6s forthe intangible chart came up once in each game. Results were a bad exchange fumble with return and the other was an incomplete pass.

I am going to continue to use this system tweaking it a little bit as I go along and I will pass along the results.
