Pitch rule question as pertaining to option football

[Steel Town Tough]

Can AB or Dre/whoever LMK about the pitch rule.I have been working with an option package and need to know MPFL basic rules on it.When you can just call pitch or when you need the sticks.I understand about RB needing to be behing the QB and all for a backward pitch.The option is a great attack to force your opponent to cover the field or else.The pass is an option right up until last stoppage if you need it.Thanks for the help--STT

STT,

From what i understand the pitch rule states the runner can not be no more than 2 base legnths away from the qb for an AUTOMATIC PITCH ! ( I WOULD PUT TWO ROOKIE BASES TOGETHER AND MEASURE IT. THEN MAKE A STICK JUST FOR THAT. THIS WILL SAVE YOU TIME DURING THE 20SEC ADJUSTENTS.

Auto hand off, the ball must be given to the RB before half of his base is past the qb's base

Flair out to RB, you use the 3 yard stick behing the los. RB must be at least 6 yards behing the los to receive the ball


I WILL LET ANT ANWSER THIS FURTHER IN CASE I GOT SOMETHING WRONG.

With this being a football sports simulation strategy game it is important to think realism.

If you have to ask if I can pitch then there is a chance that the answer will me no.

There should be one (1) base length from the QB to the RB to be a pitch, anything inside of that is a hand off.

The body position of the RB MUST fit the position for a hand off or pitch. In reality the head of the QB will always be infront of the RB, so if the head of the QB is behind the RB then there can be NO hand off or pitch. At that point it becomes a pass, note noting is a given, Pass placement or TTQB.

The hand off and pitch is automatic if the positions are maintained, " one (1) bases length away from the QB or inside of one (1) base length with the QB's head either infront of or even with the RB. "


Multiple Pitches

Well coaches due to the nature of this system multiple pitches will not work. Yes I understand that this is apart of the game however it can not be simulated without giving the offensive team an advantage.

Balance is key hear and also to eliminate potentional abused and to maintain the discipline of the system.

The MPFL system is set up that you can fuction with in the frame work of the system, but anything out side the frame work will not work.

For many years coaches who play this game are always looking for some advantage, sad to say it was achieved by unbalanced game play. By eliminating loop holes, and maintaining a balance game play.
