that I have problems with in our league. The TSO ruleset tries its best to mimic the NFL rules in as many ways. However, with this particular rule the winning team in situations such as this are forced to run plays until time expires. Several years ago (I think before I was born) this was also the case in the NFL. I believe the game was between the Eagles and Giants (I just saw this on this on ESPN a few weeks ago). I'm not sure what team was leading but they had the game won and all they had to do was run a few plays and the game was over. Well, they did but a fumble occurred and the other team ran the ball all the way back for a score. Hence, the birth of the "Victory formation". Now when teams have the game locked away, in efforts to avoid injury, running up the score and to secure the victory they line up in the "victory formation" and they just take a knee. To my knowledge, since this technique became a part of football no fumbles, interceptions or injuries have occurred during the victory formation unless the team lining up in the victory formation decides to do something tricky.

Teams in our league have lost games, chances at playoff spots and opportunities at playing in super bowls because they were forced to run plays instead of taking a knee and as a result lost a fumble to the other team and their opportunity because of this rule and I for one would like to see it changed!
