Very interesting idea, but would not work in NCAA or NFL because of the way the rules are written there, but worked fine based on NFHS (High School) Rules. Really drove us nuts as far as officiating it. Problem is, in high school, you can be ineligible by number OR by position. Therefore, if number 12 is lined up as a left guard, he’s ineligible. If number 75 is at Wide Receiver, he’s ineligible. But then you’d get legal shifts and all kind of crazy stuff where it was difficult to tell who was eligible and who was not. Really, it basically only matters where guys are at the snap. > [@WTB Quad LTZ, KFX Raptor.......](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wtb-quad-ltz-kfx-raptor/39592/9): > > Looks like it would make the game more entertaining. I like it It made a mockery of it, really. Its one thing to be inventive like the spread offense, veer options, etc… This was trickery without skill to try and level the playing field. Some think thats fine, I personally don’t. > [@A new Z06 v. boat](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/a-new-z06-v-boat/39572/20): > > isnt the point of the game to try to figure out who is going to catch the ball and stop that from happening? well then just fuckin get a better defense then to stop it. But the problem is there are limitations within the offense of what you are allowed to do. It’s high school, not the pros. If they wanted to do this in the pros, I’d be fine with it, but it won’t because of the way the rules are written. Really, the biggest thing is that there needs to be a similarity between the rules of NCAA and NFHS. There are SO many different rules, its very frustrating especially when you are going from Friday Night’s on the field to Saturday Afternoons. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/deceptive-football-a-11/201864)._
