The answer to me is very simple. If you are playing by AB's rules then you will stand on your sideline to throw the pass. If you are playing by other rules then you will stand where those rules allow you to stand. There is really nothing to argue about.

I would disagree with AB in the fact that you have called others "wrong". They are not wrong based on their experiences and how they choose to enjoy the game. They are wrong if they try to tell you how to conduct the rules in your MPFL system but I didn't see that in what I read. Their rules or understanding of their rules allow moving around the field thus they are not "wrong".

If I were to set up a league (not in my plans) and chose to use AB's rules then we would follow as such however we may add a house rule that allows moving around the field. Are we wrong? In my opinion, only if we try to play that way in the MPFL League.

For instance, I play in the NHFL. Only two backs are allowed in the backfield besides the QB. In the TAEFL we play with NHFL rules with the exception that we allow 3 backs in the backfield besides the QB. We call it the Stram rule since we are mostly Chiefs fans. The NHFL doesn't argue with us about it because it is our league to do with as we please. If we tried to play the Stram rule in the NHFL then we would be "wrong".
