The rules of Field Ball

Take Football and make the following rule changes to eliminate Kickers:

The winner of the coin toss decides of they want to start on Offense in the first half or the second half. (That’s what Harbaugh does a lot is to elect to Kickoff so he can Receive at the start of the second half).

All drives start on the 20 yard line.

Any drive that fails within the opponents 30 yard line you get 1 point.

Any drive that fails within the opponents 20 yard line you get 2 points.

Any drive that fails within the opponents 10 yard line you get 3 points.

When I say “drive that fails” I mean turn it over on downs.

You can only Punt when you’re inside your own 50 yard line, otherwise you give up the ball on downs once you past the 50. (We keep Punters but we punt the Kickers from the game forever).

All positions occupied by “Special Teams” players will now be occupied by Offensive or Defensive rotational players and miscellaneous guys who can cover or field Punts, which become less frequent.

That’s it!

Field Ball.

Or you can call it Terra Ball as in a war like territorial competition played on Earth.

Or even just call it “War”.

Cause that’s what it is.

Next?

We remove goalies from the game of Hockey.

Thank you.
