Default What about clocks?

Norbert I had a league a long long time ago and my games were also an hour. I wanted to get the most bang for my buck so implemented set up clocks for offense and defense. I also used "reverse" set up and set up defense first(d-line and linbackers) so I didnt play right into the offense.

I also liked and used the dice system for plays. Each team had their own set of 6 plays. Sometimes 3 pass 3 run if they were balanced or mix it up with 2 run and 4 pass...create your team based on plays and style.

Set up clock:
My set up clock for offense and defense was 25 seconds. I liked it fast paced because i really didnt have time to think. Just do it and have fun and play.

1. roll die for defense formation. The spot of the ball was marked between hash mark so you know where center will be. set up your interior lineman and linebackers(7 men) based on formation...db's wait until offense is set. If Nickle or Dime set up 6 defensive men. You got 25 secs.

2. roll die for offense play. Set up all 11 men. 25 seconds

3. now set up the db's, zone(magnets) if you want for pass play.

4. If your defensive set calls for a blitz move that defender in place where you want.

I got a lot of plays in this way using 30 min halfs with 2 time outs each

Now you got me wanting to dig out my old stats from my 15 season league..pro and college with a college draft.....man that was fun back in the day.
