Default A completed pass can be...

overturned by an infraction such as holding, offsides, dropped pass (2-2), or something to that effect. But if a pass is caught (even if players are engaged), it is a completion. However, the Box can only be shaken once on every play. I say 90% of the time, nothing happens but various combinations can cause an action to happen that could hamper the progression of not only the offense but the defense as well.

The excitement comes as the official is called to shake the box and the anticipation of something possibly happening messes with the emotions of the coaches.

Also, the Box does not have to be shaken after every play, only at the coaches discretion. What separates "rookies" from "veterans" is that most veterans know when to shake the box. Rookies will often times let you go the length of the field without one shake. Then, the opposition scores and they remember, "I should have had you to shake the Box". It was right there the whole time asking to be shaken.

Sometimes, officials can frustrate you with little manuevers of "shaking the box" after a rookie let a score happen or hinting to a team about the box. I always tell people let the rookie learn on his own because he needs to stay away of every facet of the game.

Thanks for the clarification--I think we have a box somewhere here in the DSMFL, but I don't know if anyone can locate it.

Default Wolf

Yes, I did find out which dice to get for each container. We have a Games by James store closeby and a hobby shop not too far away so I'm set there.

As for you Wolf, I expected you to include a set of ginsu knives with that made-for-tv offer or perhaps a sham-wow or a date with the MF t-shirt girl.
