A few friends and I came up with a way to play NFL rules football in Minecraft. We are trying to set up a league, and are looking for players to try out. If you're interested, please reply here or DM me on Discord @ CJHammond20#3932
[TL;DR]
Technically, Minecraft isn't a football video game, so I understand if this thread gets removed. That being said, I believe that the people viewing the "Other Football Games" threads would be more interested in this topic than the people viewing the "Minecraft" threads.
*ALL RULES NOT SPECIFIED HERE ARE BASE NFL RULES*
*THESE RULES ARE ONLY EXPLANATIONS, EXPANSIONS, EDITS, OR REMOVALS OF NFL RULES*
Gameplay:
- A trident is used as the football.
- 3v3 game (subs allowed).
- Offense must have an OL and a QB, the 3rd player can play TE, WR, or HB.
- Defense has no positional restrictions.
- To start the play, the OL starts with the trident at the LOS, turns around to face the QB, and drops the football (trident).
- The QB can run the ball, drop the ball to the 3rd player (usually the HB), or throw the ball to the 3rd player.
- The OL cannot have the ball dropped or thrown to them.
- The OL can block by punching defensive players. This will knock them back.
- To catch a pass after the ball (trident) has been thrown, an eligible receiver or defender must be hit by the ball and take damage. Whoever takes the damage, has caught the ball.
- To make a tackle, a defender must punch the ball carrier.
- PAT/Field Goal: Throw the trident through the goal post.
- Punt: Offense must say that they are punting. Wherever the ball lands is where the opposing team gets possession.
Penalties:
- Offensive Holding: Offensive players cannot punch defenders that are 5 yards beyond the LOS.
- Pass Interference: Defenders cannot punch any eligible receivers while the trident is in the air.
- Defensive Holding: Defenders cannot punch any offensive player that doesn't have the football.
- Ineligible Receiver Downfield: The OL cannot catch passes.
League:
The league is a 3v3 league. Looking to have at least 3 teams. We need players, coaches, and GMs; and yes, you could be a GM, coach, and player all at the same time. If you're interested, please comment or DM me on Discord @ CJHammond20#3932
