Johnson, Paul Sorenson Second Printing, Fall 2010 ©2010 Interaction Point Games, LLC www.interactionpoint.com Introduction Third and Long is a football card game in which two coaches from opposing teams acquire their players, grab their playbooks and face off for gridiron glory. Game Pieces Third and Long includes the following game pieces: 15 Player cards 60 Action cards 9 Offensive Play Call cards 6 Defensive Play Call cards Object of the Game You win if you score more points than your opponent before time runs out. Scoring is handled like in a real game of football: teams can score a touchdown, field goal, extra point, two-point conversion, or safety. Important Game Concepts Third and Long simulates a game of football. Opposing coaches take turns on offense and defense: one attempts to drive the length of the field and score-- the other tries to stop the drive. Each coach calls plays to take advantage of their team’s strengths or the opposing team’s weaknesses. 2 Third and Long does not do the following: -Track field position or down and distance -Determine the exact amount of time left on the clock -Model every player on the field The Players The game focuses on the star players. All 11 players are assumed to be present on the field for every play, but coaches only have Player cards representing the team’s very best on offense and/or defense. Key Moments The game is broken down into a series of drives. Each drive is made up of a series of key moments. Rather than recreating every play in a football game, Third and Long focuses on the key moments in a given drive that determine success or failure. The number of key moments in a particular drive is determined randomly. If the offense can win this predetermined number of plays in a row, they will score. If the defense stops them at any time, the offense stalls and will likely punt. The Action Deck During the game, both coaches will make use of a shared deck of cards call the Action Deck. The Action Deck has many roles: it provides each coach with Action Cards to use to influence the game, it acts as a random number generator to add an element of unpredictability and it acts as the game clock. When the Action Deck runs out of cards, the current quarter comes to an end. 3 The Plays For each key moment, a play occurs. Every play is an opportunity for the offense to continue the drive and for the defense to stop them. To execute a play, both coaches select a Play Call card in secret, and reveal them at the same time. A play is a specific personnel matchup, determined by the interaction between the Offensive and Defensive Play Call cards. Third and Long has separate decks of Offensive and Defensive Play Call cards which both coaches share. Coaches will alternate playing offense and defense as the game progresses; when the time comes to switch sides, the play decks are swapped as well. Third and Long does not include a special teams play deck, nor any star special teams players. The activities of the special teams are modeled in other ways, including through the use of special cards in the Action deck. During a play, both coaches work together to generate a sum called the play total. At the end of the play, the play total is compared to a target number. If the play total is greater than the target number, the offense wins. If the play total is equal to the target number, the result is a tie. Finally, if the play total is less than the target number, the defense wins. 4 Game Setup Acquiring Players The first step in preparing to play a game of Third and Long is for both coaches to form a team of star players. There are two ways to accomplish this task: choosing an pre-built team or drafting a fantasy team. Player Attributes Each player has three specific attributes. How these values are used in the game is explained later. For now, just know that the offensive players have positive attributes (between +1 and +3; with +3 being the best) and the defensive players have negative attributes (between -1 and -3; with -3 being the best). Mandan Rodeo Player’s Team LB John “Big Time” Wa $5M Player’s Position Player’s Salary and Name Speed Player’s -2 -1 Attributes Instincts Tackling ©2010 Interaction Point-2 Games, LLC B79 5 Player Positions The player positions available in this set are: quarterback (QB), running back (RB), wide receiver (WR), linebacker (LB), cornerback (CB), and safety (S). Teams can have only one star at each of these player positions. Option 1: Choose a Team Third and Long includes three complete pre-built teams. Each is a member of the fictitious PFL, or “Professional Football League”. In the Western Division we have the Mandan Rodeo (Mandan, ND) and their rivals the Billings Buffalo (Billings, MT). In the Eastern Division we have the Augusta Mariners (Augusta, ME). Each team has slightly different strengths and weaknesses. Stay tuned for future expansions to the Third and Long game which will introduce the other teams and players from the PFL. Option 2: Draft Your Team Spread Player cards out on the playing surface. Flip a coin to see who chooses the first player. Coaches alternately pick players until their teams are complete or they have met the salary cap. Salary Caps The salary cap is $15 million. The cost for a given player can be found on the player’s card. The maximum number of players a team can field is six; three stars on 6 offense and three stars on defense (up to one player at each position). Once both teams have finished selecting players, set the remaining Player cards off to the side, out of play. Building Your Team Teams can vary greatly in composition: one coach might choose five moderately priced players; another coach might go for three expensive superstars. As in real life, the greater the skill of the player, the more expensive their contract. Remember, coaches are not trying to fill an entire roster. The cards represent only the star players. Get Paper & Pencil Use a piece of paper to keep track of the quarter, the score and remaining Time-Outs and Challenges. Each coach gets three Time-Outs and two Challenges to start the game. The in-game effects of each are explained later. Shuffle the Action Deck The 60 card Action Deck will be used by both coaches throughout the game. The Action Cards will: -Influence the outcome of a play -Generate random numbers -Act as place holders -Serve as the game clock (when the Action Decks runs out, the current quarter ends) 7 Draw Action Cards Both coaches draw seven cards from the Action deck to form a hand, starting with the offense. Both coaches will draw one card after each play and one additional card after each drive. Bonus card draws may be earned after big plays and special events (see Momentum, p29). The Coin Toss Determine which team is the visiting team. Flip a coin. The visiting team calls it in the air. The winner of the coin flip decides whether to start on offense or defense. Give the deck of Offensive Play cards to the coach on offense and the deck of Defensive Play cards to the coach on defense. The team that kicks off to start the first half receives the ball to start the second half. Players take the Field The coach on offense places their offensive players (if any) in front of them on the field. The defensive players are set off to the side (on the bench). The coach on defense does the opposite. Kick Off!

USA Football believes that an age-appropriate and developmental approach to the game driven by high-quality coaching will improve athlete enjoyment and skill development. By modifying the game at younger age groups and educating coaches, commissioners, officials and parents on the game adjustments, mechanics and skills, we can create an age-appropriate, athlete-centered understanding that leads to a better experience. 3 1 / IMPLEMENTATION AND GAME PHILOSOPHY Like all other forms of youth football, USA Football envisions leagues and clubs adopting the Rookie Tackle game structure and adding this offering to their league pathway. While USA Football will provide the initial game structure and rule book, we are aware it will be governed and implemented at local levels. As such, the number of players on the field may vary from six to eight to meet community needs, registration numbers or individual circumstances.

    ROOKIE TACKLE 7-PLAYER RULE BOOK American Development Model ROOKIE TACKLE 7-PLAYER TACKLE RULES Playing Field 1. The playing field is 40 x 35 1/3 yards, allowing for two fields to be created on a traditional 100-yard field at the same time. 2. The sidelines extend between the insides of the numbers on a traditional football field and should be marked with cones every five yards. Use traditional pylons, if available, to mark the goal line and the back line of the end zone. 3. Additional cones can be placed between the five-yard stripes and in line with the inside of the numbers to further outline the playing surface if desired. 4. All possessions start at the 40-yard line going toward the end zone. a. This leaves a 20-yard buffer zone between the two game fields for game administration and safety purposes. Game officials, league personnel, athletic trainers and designated coaches are allowed in this space. b. The offensive huddle may take place in the Administrative Zone. c. Players not in the game stand on the traditional sidelines with one or more coach(es) to supervise. d. The standard players’ box should be used for sideline players. With the field split in two, this keeps players between the 25- and 40-yard line on each respective field and side. 5. First downs, down markers and the chain gang are administered in accordance with National Federation (NFHS) or local rules – starting from the 40-yard line.

  • A Reinforcement Learning Based Approach to Play Calling in Football
    A Reinforcement Learning Based Approach to Play Calling in Football Preston Biro and Stephen G. Walker March 15, 2021 Abstract With the vast amount of data collected on football and the growth of computing abilities, many games involving decision choices can be op- timized. The underlying rule is the maximization of an expected utility of outcomes and the law of large numbers. The data available allows us to compute with high accuracy the probabilities of outcomes of decisions and the well defined points system in the game allows us to have the nec- essary terminal utilities. With some well established theory we can then optimize choices at a single play level. Keywords: Football; Reinforcement Learning; Markov Decision Process; Ex- pected Points; Optimal Decisions. Corresponding Author: Preston Biro, University of Texas at Austin, De- partment of Statistics and Data Sciences, Austin, TX 78712-1823, USA, e-mail: [email protected] Stephen G. Walker University of Texas at Austin, Department of Mathemat- ics, Austin, TX 78712-1823, USA, e-mail: [email protected] 1 Introduction With the advances in computer power and the ability to both acquire and store huge quantities of data, so goes the corresponding advance of the machine (aka arXiv:2103.06939v1 [cs.LG] 11 Mar 2021 algorithm) to replace the human as a primary source of decision making. The number of successful applications is increasing at a rapid pace; in games, such as Chess and Go, medical imaging and diagnosing tumours, to automated driving, and even the selection of candidates for jobs. The notion of reinforcement learning is one key principle, whereby a game or set of decisions is studied and rewards recorded so a machine can learn long term benefits from local decisions, often negotiating a sequence of complex decisions.

If the offensive team fails to convert a “third” down attempt into a first down by gaining the required yardage (mid-field) or scoring, possession of the ball changes and the defensive team switches to offense. The ball is spotted at the point of last play with turnover on downs. However, if the offensive team informs the referee that they wish to “punt” on 3rd down, the opposing team takes possession of the ball at their 10-yard line. No actual “punt” is made.
