Default Another Solitaire...

tournament this weekend in the Man Cave stadium.

Been customizing and painting the Black Knights of the Hudson a lot (more pics to come shortly) - it is time to get some more game action in - I am itching to play!!!

This will be a double elimination tourney - All games played on Miggle smaller Super Bowl board with the stadium surround in place (no spectators or details yet - hopefully this summer).

Each team will get 2 - four play possessions in the game. Most yards gained / points determines winner.


7-on-7 football, seven offensive players face seven defensive players

Only passing is allowed.

FOB tackling only.

Teams will start possessions on their own 45 YL.

All players except the center are eligible to catch or intercept a pass.

1 defender can line-up over center and rush the QB.

QB may be stationary or mobil - but cannot run the ball past the LOS.

The coach will have four seconds to run the board and make a decision.

A defensive player may return an interception for a touchdown.

A one-point extra-point attempt is played from the 3-yard line.

A two-point conversion attempt is played from the 10.

In final game there will be two - 45 minutes halves - 15 yards to gain First Down.

Tournament draw will be done and brackets posted soon.

Hope to post some video along with pics.

Default A few pics...

to show the set-up for the tournament - field, stadium, etc...

These show the 7 vs. 7 spacing and a typical formation.

So far providing lots of passing practice.

I love the stadium set up! Very old-school college, kinda.

Excellent design for the tournament - definitely a Backyard Football kind of thing. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Are you coming to Miggle?
