The Lost Football League (1v1 - teams of 3 - 4/20)

[lostatlimbo]

Do you like 1v1 games? Are you familiar with NFL style football? Are you Premium? Then this tournament might be for you.

Each quarter, two teams (of 3 players each) face each other in a series of 1v1 games to gain yardage and put some points on the board, while the defense tries to stop them. On offense, the quicker you win a 1v1 match, the more yards you gain on that "play". On defense, the quicker you win, the further you push the offense back. There are also 2 triples matches each quarter for Special Teams games, which will net you extra points and field goals.



After 4 quarters (about 32 games per player), the team with the most points win's that week's game. After 10 weeks, the top 4 teams in each conference (N. America & Europe) move on to post-season playoffs for a shot at the World Championship.

All games are sequential and chained
Most are automatic placements
Good mix of spoils & FOW settings

Can you put together a competitive team of you and 2 other players?
Each player will play 8 games per quarter - so premium only, please.

If so, read the rules below carefully, select an available team and post your roster (QB, WR, RB) in this thread. You must have your roster formed before claiming a team from the list.

If you're interested, but don't have a team, post FREE AGENT on this thread to declare yourself available to join a team. I'll reserve a handful of the teams for the free agent pool.

The gist of the game is very simple - just like NFL style football. The quicker you win each 1v1 game, the better your team performs.

If you have questions after reading the rules below, post it here and I will try to address it promptly.

Many thanks to flex for the inspiring this scoring set up and for all the great tourneys he runs.

GAMEPLAY

• Each match is divided into four quarters (two on each team's "home" map; flat rate spoils in the 1st & 3rd, escalating spoils in the 2nd & 4th). During a quarter, each team gets an offensive drive - 3 games per player (1 against each member of the defense), plus a Special Teams game (see below).
• The round in which either the offense or defense wins a 1v1 game determines the amount of yards gained or lost on that play
  
• Example - 1 quarter of play
  
• Each drive starts on the 20 yard line. If the offense manages to gain 80 or more net yards during a drive, the result is a TD (6 points)
  
  • If, during a drive, the offense wins a play in 4 rounds or less, the result is a personal TD (6), regardless of total yardage on the drive
  • If, during a drive, the defense wins a play in 4 rounds or less, the result is a personal Turnover (loss of possession - no points scored), regardless of total yardage on the drive
  • However, if a personal TD & personal Turnover occur on the same offensive drive, they offset and cancel each other out. Two TDs and one Turnover during the same drive results in a TD. Two Turnovers and one TD on the same drive result in a Turnover. Two TDs and Two Turnovers on the same drive cancel each other, Etc etc etc.
• After all four quarters have been played, the team with the most points wins the match.
