Magnum357 -> RE: XFL Rules? (1/12/2010 11:06:47 PM)

Ya, the "XFL Scramble" rule was probably not a good rule. [8|] But the XFL had a few other interesting rules. If I remember correctly, on punts, the ball was live if it traveled 25 yards past the LOS (or something like that) so teams couldn't "down" the ball if no receiver catched it, it basically "forced" a return. And the punting team could not run past the LOS until the ball was punted and the punt return player had a 5 yard halo before he caught the ball, this was suppose to create a wider open punt return game. Out of all the rules the XFL had, I thought this was probably the best they came up with. They had a few others if I remember. You were allowed to have one receiver (flanker) to go forward motion before the snap, but this was basically a copy of AFL/CFL rules. The XFL had an interesting Overtime rules, it was similar to college OT but it had some unique twists to it. Can't remember how it went.
