Strat-O-Matic Football Rules 2012 Card Season Strat-O-Matic Football Rules 2012 Card Season Revised 12-16-2013 Page 1 12/16/2013 Page 2 12/16/2013 2012 Season Cards This set of rules encompasses all rules previously found in the rule booklet and on the roster sheets, as well as the newly introduced rules and optional rules adopted by the League Rules Committee. In addition some rules found within the official Strat-O-Matic Computer rules have been deleted or modified to better suit play within this league. INTRODUCTION First and foremost all rules of football apply. If a conflict occurs concerning a particular aspect of the game use common sense to resolve the dispute applying the rules of the NFL. If the exact rule is not known at that time try to find the answer in a timely manner and if a solution is not reached resolve the dispute by a die roll and continue play. It is after all just a game.

  • The Debut of 6-Man Football
    The Debut of 6-Man Football at Coeymans High School [CHS] & Ravena High School [RHS] Seasons 1938 - 1943 Prepared by: Chuck Friday September 2008 Dedication Claude B. Friday Coeymans High School Class of 1927 The Debut of 6-Man Football Prologue The introduction of high school football in this community began in 1934 when the Coeymans High School fielded an 11-man team. One year later, Ravena High School [less than 1 mile away from Coeymans High School] introduced its 11-man football squad. Both high schools continued to play 11-man football until the 1938 season. Beginning in 1938 both Coeymans and Ravena high schools converted to the 6-man football format. Each high school had an independent football squad and the rivalry between the two schools was intense. In 1944 Coeymans and Ravena merged their school districts and fielded a single 6-man football team. Local high school football continued using the 6-man format until the 1958 season, when 8-man football was introduced. In the 1963 season 11-man football was, once again, reinstated. This paper attempts to capture some of the early history of 6-man football from the perspective of those years that Coeymans and Ravena competed against each other (i.e., the 1938-1943 seasons). The first three years of competition between these two schools (1938-1940) was captured by a young sports journalist named Fred (Doc) Martino. Shortly after the 1940 football season Fred left his journalist position and enlisted in the military. The last three seasons (1941-1943) that Coeymans and Ravena fielded separate teams are sparsely covered by the local newspaper.

The Montana rush defense will get a real test in containing quickness and speed.of the ' Mustangs. nWe must contain the running of Joe Acosta and quarterback Gary Abata," Swarthout said. "Our boys are going out there and prove they are a much better team than the Bozeman showing," the UM mentor said. "We can see the end now and we want it to be just as we planned it, Swarthout said.

That’s not the case. It could have been me. It could have been anybody on this team. None of us are doing a good enough job to make plays and help us win. As disappointed as you are for Kyle, you’re kind of excited for [QB Tim] Tebow because he’s getting a chance. We’re just hoping that translates into wins. “At the end of the day we’re 1-4 and that’s the reason why we’re not cheering. We’re 1-4 and we haven’t been playing good football. So there is no reason for this locker room to be excited at the end of the day. We have a long way to go to get ourselves close to being competitive and we’re not there. That’s the reason the locker room is kind of subdued. And again, the headline is probably Kyle and it could’ve been any of us, but the fact of the matter is that it’s Tim Tebow and he has such an aura about him and a following that’s such a big story.” On quarterback being the most important position on the team “It is but the guys around him can help him play better whether it’s the guys on his side of the ball or the guys on the defensive side of the ball.

    Football 101 SCYF: Football is a full contact sport. We will help teach your child how to play the game of football. Football is a team sport. It takes 11 teammates working together to be successful. One mistake can ruin a perfect play. Because of this, we and every other football team practices fundamentals (how to do it) and running plays (what to do). A mistake learned from, is just another lesson in winning. The field • The playing field is 100 yards long. • It has stripes running across the field at five-yard intervals. • There are shorter lines, called hash marks, marking each one-yard interval. (not shown) • On each end of the playing field is an end zone (red section with diagonal lines) which extends ten yards. • The total field is 120 yards long and 160 feet wide. • Located on the very back line of each end zone is a goal post. • The spot where the end zone meets the playing field is called the goal line. • The spot where the end zone meets the out of bounds area is the end line. • The yardage from the goal line is marked at ten-yard intervals, up to the 50-yard line, which is in the center of the field. The Objective of the Game The object of the game is to outscore your opponent by advancing the football into their end zone for as many touchdowns as possible while holding them to as few as possible. There are other ways of scoring, but a touchdown is usually the prime objective.

Something that says, “We Were Here And We KicKed Butt!” These “marks” are measured by records, signature wins, team milestones, playoff wins and titles. When it’s for a program that has enjoyed a good amount of success, these marks tend to get magnified even more. Past teams and alumni come to expect it, afterall, it’s still their team too.
