Default Suggestions on Solitaire play

I'm thinking about having a college solitarie tournament. I have some great ideas, I'm just looking for more. I would like to keep the games at a hour and fifteen mins. Any help would be great.

Thanks
Butch

Hi Butch,

Few things you can do that might fit your time frame:

* Four 8-play quarters, no time outs to add plays.
* Two 30-minute (running clock except in last 2 minute) halves.
* Team that wins the toss gets the ball at their 20, each team gets three possessions.
* Set a clock for 75 minutes and whatever happens, happens.

What teams would you be using?

Ed

The MPFL System is very good for solitaire play. Check out the web site.

Default College Timing

NCAA doesn't have 2-minute timing or do they?

no, they don't. the clock keeps running. maybe if it's college rules that you are looking for, then within the final 2 minutes of each half, the clock can be stopped with a first down, and restarted once the next play is set up.

Default Test run

Well men, I had a test run last night Aubrun beats Maryland 23 to 14. I played the game in 1hour and 22mins. I will list my rules of play later. I'm to busy to type them out at this time. Overall it went very good. I think I can get the games under a hour and 15 min. The best thing was I had fun and the action was fast.

I really just suggested the 2-minute thing so that the original poster could get more than 1 or 2 plays off at the end of the game - it really wasn't based on hard, fast college rules.

It's OK to think outside the box.

I use play count 60 plays agame change ends after 15 for quarter usuakly done in alittle over hour. Run mostly pass with sticks on 3 and long punts are 40 yards. Anything you can add to keep game fun.

When I get home, I'll see if I can find and post the solitaire rules set that I developed about 5 years ago that so many people have asked me for.
