Default the hail mary

OK say its 3rd down and ten....your on your own 35 yard line and your down by 4 and there is time for one play,,,its hail mary time

HOW do you do it

... WE in the NMEFL put a magnet any were past 20 yards...(USALLY THE END ZONE) put does not have to be the EZ...and turn the receivers to it...also the defense turns there DBS and LBS to the magnet...the defense then rushes 4 down line man,,the QB is put on a magnet and then the ball is hiked,,,the QB may hold the ball for up to 4 seconds...and then the switched is turned off IF the QB was not sacked the WRS may turn to the magnet...BUT so may the Defense..another 4 seconds go by with the switch on..AND 4 things can happen
1.if the 4 seconds go by with NO ONE hitting the magnet the play is over incomplete pass
2.If a WR or RB touches the magnet....its complete IF in the EZ its a TD...IF NOT the receiver now has the ball HE MAY NOT TURN..BUT ANY DEFENSIVE MAN CAN....
3.If a defensive man touches the magnet it is an interception and may down the ball there or try an return
4, (and this has happened),,if 2 men are engaged the man who is pushed into or touches the ball is guilty of pass interference and it is a 15 yard penalty and since the game cannot end on a penalty the offense gets 1 more try,,,

what is your way of an hail mary

Default I Like It!

I like that rule MICHIGAN MAN!

Here's what I would do, using the TTQB:
  1. After the setup, 5 WRs probably, the O would call "Hail Mary" which is ONLY allowed on the last 2 plays of either Half.
  2. Defense now has to turn and run with the WRs. They are NOT allowed to jam them at the LOS.
  3. Let the board rip until any WR crosses the GL.
  4. IF the QB is engaged by a Defender on the stoppage - not during the play - then it is a Sack and no pass is allowed.
  5. IF not, then let the pass fly, with the TTQB, and I would count ricochets to other players. If it hits any player on the fly and then the ground, then THAT player has possession, business as usual. Otherwise, last contact has the ball.

Default The Hail Mary Play

In the Washington DC area league championships back in the 2002 or 2003 time frame one of the top 3 EF plays I’ve ever seen took place in a semifinal match between Coach Lomax and Big Keith. With Lomax ahead by 7 on the last play of the game, Big Keith is lining up at his own 35. He has a receiver open some 20 yards down field, stick passing allowed. Rather than using the blue stick he places the ball in the end zone. Coach Lo has 4 defenders back in coverage and pivots them toward the ball. Everyone one is concerned about defensive pass interference on the play as any contact between the defender and WR before a base distance to the ball would cause pass interference. The board is tuned on and Keith’s WR goes straight to the ball for a TD. Coach Lo’s defenders got lost on the play and Big Keith was eventually able to put the game into overtime, where he lost. What an amazing play. Ray F.

Default Thanks for that reminder, Ray

I have seen the play by Big Keith more times than I care to remember!

As for my play in this juncture, I have 2 plays that I love to run.......

one play I will not describe....tournaments are coming....

The other play is more like a delay or screen where most of the defense will be deep or running with the receivers.... I will run the 1-back to the wide side of the field and he will get around the corner and go to the house for 65 yds.
