i am glad you enjoy this possibility as i do. it does bring a different excitement to the game. With the kicker the ball is kicked so fast you dont see anything. Sometime it is unclear if the kick was good or not. In this situation there will be sheer drama as the base/ball is going downfield for a much need field or extra point. Imagine your heart being in your throat when you start to see it veering left or right. Or, veer left of right the go back to being straight again as the wind took it in.

Another scenario i am looking at is ( focus on the left pole/strip)

1) If the RIGHT FRONT PART OF THE BASE HITS THE LEFT POLE, it hit the upright and landed left of the goal post

2) If the LEFT front part of the base hits the left pole, it hit the upright but went through the goal for a good kick. This being that most of the base is inside of the goal post.

**It still depends because it is unsure how someone will make there goal post. It may be hard to go by just the ball sometime.

***same scenario holds true for the RIGHT pole also ofcourse.

onside kicks

As you stated this could be fun. Angle the base and have it run 10 to 15 yards. it's a footrace to the ball. THE BACK OF THE BASE/FOOTBALL must be 10 or 15 yards downfield. Not the front of the base. You will have to angle you players and time it perfectly to hit the back or side of the base/football after it gets 10 to 15. The receiving team will have and equal op to hit the front of the base/folotball. I would suggest if a onside kick is called. both teams should line up at a equal distance so it is fair who gets the ball. For istance, if the kicking team has to hit the back of the base/football, the receiving team may get a closer shot with the front of the base/football sticking out. A fair line up by both teams must be determined.

ALL IN ALL, i find the exciting. I see some serious heartbreak when that ball veers.

Also, to hold the base/football. I would place it on a magnet as it is done in the mpfl to hold its players. In a field goal situation, if no defender gets to the ball, take it off the magnet and have it go down field for the kick.
The thing is, you must open up the middle somehow for the base/football to run through. I guess move all of the players on each side of the hashmarks.
