This will be the subcategory discussion for CBSMF Rules

[Reginald Rutledge]

While most rules of the Shootout and CBSMF are the same, there will be about a 10% change that needs to be discussed concerning the CBSMF ruleset.

So whenever there is discussion concerning rules on the college game, let it happen here.

Reg what's the rule on the option play. Also what's the limit on RB in the back field on the option.

How are you doing my friend? Here is the rule on the option play...

You are allowed a full house backfield, however on full house back fields only your QB may not assist in the blocking schemes and must be turned away from the play as if he is handing the ball off. On all other formations the QB may assist in blocking.

On the option play this is the only multi-stop play allowed. You do not have to reveal that you are running the option until you're ready to pitch or pass the ball. Once the set is turned on and your players are running to the option side, you will get one stop. The pass clock starts immediately once the board stops. You will then have to say "option" so the pass clock stops. You do not have to say if you're going to pitch it or keep it at this stage. The defense immediately will adjust. Once the defense make his adjustments you will then have to make a decision to pitch it or keep it. After 10 yards the defense gets to adjust again. After your first stop you also have the option to pass the ball. You lose this option once you declare "option" and the pass clocks stops.

I hope this has cleared it up for you!

Mike,
Does the offense make an adjustment on the stop of the option?

The offense does not get to make an adjustment. The defense only gets to make an adjustment to the unengaged players.

OK gotcha! Thanks
