Teams may attempt an onside kick in any
kickoff situation. Blocking schemes do not
affect the outcome of the play.
Onside vs. Onside
If the Kicking Team chooses Onside Kick and
the Receiving team also chooses Onside Kick,
the success rate is very low.
• If successful, the Kicking team recovers the
ball at the 50-yard line.
• If unsuccessful, the Receiving team
recovers the ball on the 50-yard line.
Onside vs. Kickoff (or any other defense)
If the Kicking team selects Onside Kick
and the Receiving team chooses any other
defense, the success rate is much higher.
Onside kicks vs. any other defense are
successful about twice as often as when the
Receiving team correctly looks for the Onside
kick, but are still successful less than 50% of
the time.
• If successful, the Kicking team recovers the
ball at the 50-yard line.
• If unsuccessful, the Receiving team
recovers the ball on the 50-yard line.
To run a standard play (not Special Teams),
your Special Teams dial must be set to OFF.
If either team has the Special Teams dial set
on any other position, the LCD will display a
message reminding you to change both dials.
• Offense and Defense select play and
blocking scheme.
• Offense presses SNAP to start the rotor.
• Defense presses BLITZ to stop rotor.
The play result will be either:
Run
Yardage will be applied to the ball location,
and down and distance will be adjusted.
The yardage may be negative.
Pass Complete
Yardage will be applied to the ball location,
and down and distance will be adjusted.
The yardage may be negative.
Incomplete Pass
0 yards gained on the play, and loss of
down (2
nd
and 4 becomes 3
rd
and 4).
Sack
Negative yardage will be applied to the ball
location, and down and distance will be
adjusted.
Interception
Defense takes possession. The ball location
will be changed where necessary.
Example:
• 2
nd
& 5, ball on the Defense’s
40-yard line
• Play result: Interception,
-10 yards
• Next play: 1
st
& 10, possession
changed, ball on 50-yard line
• Fumble
Defense takes possession. The ball location
will be changed where necessary.
As in real football, the Offense has 4 plays
to move the ball 10 yards from the line of
scrimmage. If the Offense moves the ball 10
yards or more in 4 plays or less, they receive a
new set of downs (1
st
and 10). This is repeated
until the offense reaches the goal line and
scores a touchdown, or until the Offense is
unable to achieve 10 yards in 4 downs or less.
