One rule the LAEFL uses is that only 2 of the 3 backfield players can be pointed in the same direction at the start of the play. That was put in place to avoid the "rugby scrum" play, with the QB and 2 RBs plowing up the middle. Is that rule still in force with the Option Play? I would love to see option plays like FB up the middle, QB and RB around end. Or even 3 players off tackle/end. I just don't like tight-line, 3-up-the-gut MF. Maybe just a simple rule that says "at least one backfield player must be pointed outside the tackles".
