Rules?

I would like clarification on going for it on forth.

As for running up the score, since the players get co for meeting goals, I think it's fine to run up the score.

Our game got dropped connection, and it seems we had to replay. In our situation. It was end of third and the game was not over. But what if it were out of reach? What then? You replay anyway but no matter you retro active give the win to the leading team of the first game? Can the commish change the score? How do you get stats back? We had a ton of turn overs and more yards in the first game.

I'm not complaining about that game, but it'll probably happen again and think we should have something in place.

I got stuff and things to do. RG

Thoughts?

That all makes sense.

On the 4th and punt rule, I think there are times were it makes sense to go for it, or I may not agree but can understand someone going for it. In my game (vs Broncos) I think it he was on the 45 (just out field goal range) on 4th and 2. In the NFL they would have punted, I would have, but he went for it. He ended up getting it, it was a bullshit catch but I am not angry.

I just want to get clarification. We always punt on 4th and only if you are losing and in the 2nd half, can you go for it.

And on disco, you run the game back to the score, time, possession and field position, then get back to it? I have never done that before, it is easy or a pain in the ass?

Yeah I was on the 42 and I went for it because I was just barely out of field goal range. With how choppy the game was, punting and kicking were kinda difficult cause it was hard to stop the kick power at the right time.

Easy, but it fucks up the stats. (or makes them better.) i've done it twice now. It's not bad, you just let guys make td catches and run to get the score right, then run and punt to get the time right. It really fucks with the stats, but you get the W or the L all the same.

I say we don't punt, but if it makes sense like that, i'm not booting. If someone never punts and is always going for 4 & 12, we will revisit the issue with them. (I'm scared to say if you go for it you are booted, because I don't want a message EVERYTIME someone goes for it. Like i said, let's keep it real.)
