NO Dave

I used to buy the waterslide decals in bunches of 3-4 at a time. Those worked out really nice. I'm currently trying to acquire what's left in some of the stocks. I have some ideas for them and the Mean 13 figures.

I'm looking at using green bases on offensive linemen only in my leagues. I think this will make it easier when teaching formations and setup.

First off, thanks for posting the old rulebooks. Watching multi-stop games drives me crazy. We had a game where a coach executed a successful quick kick. His QB was running out of the pocket toward the sideline, and turned the switch off to attempt a pass. To his chagrin, he only had one receiver open, and was triple-covered. So, he replaced his QB figure with the TTQB and announced "Quick Kick" which prompted the official to place the goalposts on the field. The kick sailed though the uprights from the left sideline about 35 yards out. The coach starting whooping it up like he had just thrown a touchdown pass! The other times we have attempted it, it just hasn't worked out. It's one of the JOEFL's most memorable plays.

I'm glad to see this topic has garnered some discussion. The humble origins of this rule actually came from the fact that the pass is thrown while the board is off, so defenders cannot make a move to intercept the pass. When played properly, the ricochet rule forces defenses to play a pass honestly, so you see a lot more zone and Cover 2 in a game where ricochets count.

OK - the ricochet does have some limitations. First off, the ball cannot hit the ground. If the ball hits a receiver and then hits the ground, that's it, it's simply a catch by the receiver. Second, to avoid a ball striking a defender who is a considerable distance away, a defender must be within 5 yards of the receiver in order to be eligible to play on the ricochet. Third, to your first point, No. If the ball strikes the defender, it is an INT. You may get a kick out of this, but in previous iterations, the rule would have been a yes, but coaches were making it a point of strategy to hit a defender first and then hit their receiver. So after a season of this, it became what it is. Fourth, if the ball hit a receiver, then hits a lineman on the same team, it's a catch by the receiver. Next, if a pass strikes an engaged defender, the pass is considered incomplete. Doesn't this sound like a joy to officiate? These games gave me heart palpitations.

This is a brilliant rule, but it is hard to consistently officiate, and will start arguments. Allow me to explain - Offense throws a pass with the TTQB. Ball hits the receiver first, then hits a defender on the deflection. The pass is ruled an interception. Basically, it's the last player struck with the pass instead of the first. This allows for better pass defenses because you never know when you might get an unexpected "gift". Thoughts?

We did have an interesting rule for the one season we tried CWS (Cumulative Weight System). The team roster was fixed at 36 players, and our fixed weight was 157.5 grams. However, you could have one player at a skill position who was exempt from the Cumulative weight, and could be any weight you wanted. One team had a 20g tailback, and I had a 12g outside linebacker. The weight part was interesting, because if you knocked the ball carrier down on a tackle, it was ruled a fumble. On the other hand, if the ball carrier knocked a defender down, the runner could continue to advance. I had my 12g LB on a Tudor Pro Line Strong Rookie Base, and put cone-shaped lead sinkers underneath to hit the weight. Suffice it to say, excess weight does lead to a reduced speed factor, and the bases do not hold their tweak as well. However, stronger plastic does hold up better to higher weights, as you might imagine.

That's actually a fairly popular rule, but you have some great clarity for it. Its does help open up a lot of running games, and it lends some credibility to putting a QB on a stronger base. Make sure you train your fellow league mates on how to officiate it so you're all on the same page, because it can get pretty subjective.

WLD - That is not in development - yet.

I almost made those a choice, but they had looked close to the existing Visitor style. Thanks!

All right! Keep the votes coming! Hold That Tiger!

I like MP to get the facemasks on. You gotta be brave to apply them with airplane glue. Wow.

The socks are always an adventure. That is tricky.

Gotta say - Oilers by 7, final will be Oilers 21, Browns 14. Go AFL!

How about some ole Grits Blitz?

Tudor Games is working to secure licenses for your favorite NCAA teams. Now, you be the judge - Which Uni-Forms would you like to be the first one off the line?

As you can see, the possibilities are endless with Uni-Forms. What Other Uni-Forms Would You Want To Get?

Leave them on the sprue and paint. Make sure to allow plenty of time to dry.

I use a regular TTC base with the dial spun around 180 degrees.

Why do all that when they are sold here ready to go?

The winners - 1st: 8: Medina Spirit 2nd: 7: Mandaloun 3rd: 9: Hot Rod Charlie 4th: 14: Essential Quality See you Saturday, May 15th for the Preakness Stakes!

That would be "immortalize".. 🤪🤪 Anyhoo, the clear display cases for model cars work great too. immoralize in American English (ɪˈmɔrəˌlaiz, ɪˈmɑr-) TRANSITIVE VERB Word forms: -ized, -izing to make or cause to be immoral What are those figures doing on top of the columns, pray tell?

It also came with a standalone timer, and yes, those bases have protruding corner tabs. Can you say shutdown corner? The downside was that it was built from what we know now as the Model 9072 board, so the field was very small and it was difficult to keep all the players in bounds.

10-12 plays per quarter. That's been the standard for us for a very long time.
