Here are the rules you must follow if you wish to participate in the records contest:

If you have questions or wish to have a specific rule explained, please email me. I will be glad to tell you why a certain rule is present.

(1) - No resetting!  The only time you can reset is before the coin toss to get an injured player back who is going for
triple threat, ridiculoso, or gran ridiculisimo award.

(2) - No punting or field goals. Only girls punt or kick field goals. Learn how to play.

(3) - No intentional loss of yards. For example, you cannot run backwards with your runningback then go out of bounds,
call a pass play and gain all those yards back passing.

(4) - Players must start and play the ENTIRE game of every game they are capable of playing. In other words, the only
time they don't play is if they are injured.

(5) - No changing the opponents starters or plays.

(6) - You must play every game and finish the season, no skipping your own games.

(7) - You MUST win your division.

(8) - You should ATTEMPT to win every game.

(9) - No onside kicks, except in the last minute of the 2nd and 4th quarters.
