The sticks do allow the defense a play on the ball, but like you say its at the cost of the speed of play. I personally think the sticks a great tool to getting a rookie coach interested, and so I am in favor of allowing limited stick rules for rookies. For example, when I play sticks with my brother in law, he can never adjust a reciever to run up the field, only out routes or comeback routes. If the reciever is heading downfield then obviously the stick can be placed straight in front of his current running direction. Maybe its just me, but the more I use the TTQB the more I like it, especially with the strict clock rules as used by several leagues including the DFW. So, if you practice with the TTQB (even in solitaire) make sure to have a 20 second timer!

I gotta get one of those timers that they use in the GLEFL (where can I get one). I want to include that as well. I know it will make things really interesting....as if I didn't have enough elements in this game to keep track of .
