Passing sticks and solitaire

[RavennaAl]

For those that use passing sticks, I'm curious how they have been working out for you. Also, do you have any specific rules that you play by that may be different. For example, I'm playing where the offense picks one receiver who can catch the pass. Any other offensive player who hits or passes the stick makes it incomplete. The defense can have any player intercept. Because of that, the offense is allowed to try and block any defender from the stick, but the defense can not block the receiver. However, if the defender inadvertantly hits the receiver before the stick, it's ok as he is allowed the same right to go for the ball as the receiver. He can not be turned to purposely block the receiver.

Another thing I'm going to try in my next season is bullet passes. This is where the receiver is placed on a magnet, and depending on the distance, (either short or medium, no long bullet passes) I will run the board for either 1 or 2 seconds. If a defender hits the receiver in that time, then the pass is incomplete. If the defender stops near the receiver in a direct line between the receiver and the QB, then it is intercepted. Otherwise it is a complete pass and play continues.

How are you guys doing it???
