Honesty and Attention
In an effort to play in this hobby and have fun, one must be honest and attentive. When you make rules, be true in the making of them. Don’t make rules that support your strengths or the strengths of your colleagues. I am contradicting myself from an earlier post, but an example would be front of base tackling. If you know the vast majority of your leagues’ members have a hard time tackling like that, fashion the rules of tackling to cater to the capabilities of the majority.
During play, both coaches must watch the board at all times. I can’t stand when an opponent claims he or she didn’t see what happened and because of that the outcome doesn’t count. The truth is that they saw what occurred. The outcome wasn’t in their favor; therefore, they don’t want to deal with it.
Running plays are easier to watch because the ball is with the runner. Passing plays are little bit harder to watch because both coaches must watch the entire field. Pressure on the QB must be watched, out of bounds and available receivers must be watched. One’s peripheral vision must be sharp to see all that takes place on the board.
