Tackling debate compromise idea

[WEIRDWOLF]

That's a new one on me. I like the concept. I do think that at the goalline the guy has to cross regardless of tackle position. Just doesn't seem right awarding a TD by adding 2 yards. Eliminating back of the base tackles may be the easiest to referee.

We play any touch which stinks in my opinion in regards to the run game. Do FOB leagues have any issues with the "He tackled him with the front. No he didn't" arguement. I can see that happening and just wondered how FOB leagues deal with that or if it happens much

ANYTIME THERE IS COMPETITION THERE WILL BE ARGUEMENTS AND PLAYING THE FRONT OF THE BASE WITH SOME COACHES CAN BE A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE

I play front of base in my solitaire league and the arguments between me and myself can get down right ugly!

the way we deal with it is "if it is unclear, it ain't a tackle" ...but sometimes that won't satisfy both so the last resort - coin flip.......

...if both Coaches became Fans immediately after the playcall and upon a good solid hit BOTH Fans "oooohhhhed!" and "aaahhhhhed!" We do here and EVERY game I've ever played with the MWEFL guys has ALWAYS been a FUN experience: win, lose or draw.

In fact, I gotta remember to high-five with my left hand 'cause recently in outstanding games of ARENA with Lenny "The Grave Digger" Hargraves at the Miggle Con last month, we high-fived so much, my throwing hand got a lil tingly!?!
