Thanks for posting. These are the kinds of things I like to save and keep in the archives of the museum. (Hope you don't mind I added them to the website)
"As solo implies, it's my game, my rules, my weirdness."
You are exactly right. It's your game and your rules. do whatever makes the game and hobby fun, interesting and exciting for you.
Like I have always said "Just have fun and play the game!!"
As for myself, I just play a pretty basic game of electric football. Not too many deviations from the original rules of electric football. I do use "The Kicking Game" Kicking cards that I created, occasionally, for kicking, punting, Field goals and extra points. But I also like to use the TTQB as much as possible, since that is a skill I don't want to lose.
For more about Solitaire rules that others use. check out the section in the NEFGM library on solitaire rules and to learn more about the kicking card.
