I was gonna search for highlights when I felt like it. You made it so easy.
Wondering if there's any other significant differences in the rules with this league. Could tell from Grimson's post, the QB isn't as "protected" by the rules. Anything else notable?
From the OP:
— There will be no television timeouts and fewer full-screen commercial breaks. That, along with a 35-second play clock (the NFL’s is 40 seconds) and some of the changes listed below, could shave 30 minutes off an NFL game’s traditional three-hour running time.
— No extra points. Every touchdown will be followed by a two-point conversion attempt. Field goals are still an option in regulation, however.
— No kickoffs. Each team starts a possession after a score or at the start of a half at their 25-yard line.
— Instead of onside kicks, which are not allowed, teams will attempt the equivalent of a fourth-and-12 play from their 28-yard line. A conversion means it keeps the ball. These will only be allowed when a team is trailing by at least 17 points or for either team in the last five minutes of a game, according to the Associated Press.
— There will be a ninth member of the officiating crew called a “SkyJudge,” who will sit in the press box and “use real-time technology to correct clear errors involving player safety anytime during a game, and pass interference inside of five minutes left in the fourth quarter,” the AP reported.
— Overtime is different: Each team will get the ball only once, first and goal from the 10, and they have to score a touchdown and go for two (field goals are not allowed in the extra period). Games can end in a tie.
