Got together with fellow Akron EFL-er John Martin and we tried to play by the Buzzball rules for practice(much different than Akron...but fun!)......I am sure some of you multi-time Buzzfest players can answer these questions, so as to save George the keystrokes.

1. QB can not drop back beyond 25 yards.....cool, but how far back can a RB set up in the backfield- 15, or also 25?

2. We are aware of the team inspection rule, etc.....can you have two bases for the same player and switch during play as long both meet weight requirements?

3. No magnets allowed for secondary guys......please confirm that.

4. Any offensive shifts allowed...It does not look as though allowed...please confirm.

5. TTQB Pass misses target, hits another eligible receiver downfield...completion? John scored a TD on me this way....if it doesn't count....we tied!

Thanks, guys

Below are the answers to your questions.

1. QB can not drop back beyond 25 yards.....cool, but how far back can a RB set up in the backfield- 15, or also 25? No portion of a RB base can be more than 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage.

2. We are aware of the team inspection rule, etc.....can you have two bases for the same player and switch during play as long both meet weight requirements? As the players and bases are weighed separately and you are allowed 6 extra bases you can switch a player's base. This can only be done before or after a play - you cannot switch bases during the course of a play.

3. No magnets allowed for secondary guys......please confirm that. No magnets are allowed. You are allowed to have your secondary guys set to spin and then adjust them to try to make a play on the ball.

4. Any offensive shifts allowed...It does not look as though allowed...please confirm. The offense is allowed to make 2 pivots - players cannot be motioned.

5. TTQB Pass misses target, hits another eligible receiver downfield...completion? John scored a TD on me this way....if it doesn't count....we tied! Guess what - you tied! When passing the ball with a TTQB you can only complete a pass by hitting the target. If it hits another receiver it is an incompletion.


George, I know you are busy so I just thought I would help with this one.
