NS Arena Bowl VI Signups
Hello Arena Football Lovers, World Bowl latecomers and general football fans! I'm Lisander, the champion of the last Arena Bowl, and I decided to give this tournament a chance, since it has not been played for a long time.
Some time ago, I spoke to the previous organizer, Free Republics, and it allowed me to re-issue this event. I think the time is now, as the World Bowl XXXVII begins to approach a definition.
About Arena Football, I'll quote Shadowbourne, host of Arena Bowl IV:
Shadowbourne wrote:1. Each starting lineup shall have eight players on both sides of the ball. Line players and backfield players except the quarterback are expected to play both offence and defence.
2. Skill players such as wide receivers and cornerbacks and linemen are expected to play both ways except for one defensive player, who shall be designated as the "defensive specialist."
3. The quarterback can only play on offence unless an emergency situation arises in which the quarterback must play on defence or special teams.
4. For RP purposes, the field is 66 yards long (50 yards between goal lines and eight-yard end zones) and 85 feet wide. The goalposts shall be nine feet wide with a 15-foot high crossbar.
5. Your squads shall consist of no more than 24 players.
Why Arena Football? Small rosters are easier to manage. It should be good for newcomers to NS Sports and for those, like Lisander, that doesn't have a Pro Football League. It's a good opportunity to start the planning of a local league. In addition, it's a chance for those who missed the deadline for the World Bowl, and for World Bowl participants who are eliminated before the playoffs.
I'll keep host bids open until the end of World Bowl, in July 29. Signups deadline will be at the discretion of the host. IF AND ONLY IF no bids appear by July 29, Lisander will host this event.
