Punt Rules

Hey guys,

This is my first Roster Only team and I just took over the Pack, which looked like a fun dumpster fire to try and turn around with terrible talent and cap conditions :). It will probably be a few seasons to get the needle moving but I hope to have 53 guys on the squad at least next year.

One question. I thought most leagues had punt alignment rules at this point to deal with the codes unrealistic handling of small fast guys on the line being able to get by actual linemen, but it looks like this one may not. Is it allowed to stack the line with speed receivers/dbs to try and punt block here? Just ran into it with this weeks game.

Thanks.

I thought it was pretty much a wide spread ban in most leagues. If someone is doing it here, I am completely against it. Don't think this league has an in game admin though.

Yeah the admin thing is a problem here. But I'm the same opinion.

This is a number league they have no admin and thus no rules. Aside from the basic be respectful and such general mfn rules.

So your just going to continue the process I take it. That will cause this to become another dead league real quick.

Does "being respectful" not include not using an exploit ?

Because it is within the rules. It'll get fixed before too long hopefully. The exploit is open to everyone so it's not exactly an unfair advantage unless there is a rule against it.

I don`t think it will get fixed as some other league admins already contacted JDB and got no answer.

And I don`t like this approach too. But we can`t do anything but accept it if he wants to use the exploit. I guess I`ll stick around here but agree that this will kill the league anytime.

If he keeps it up I doubt I will be sticky around. It a fan of playing with cheaters. And yes that is what using exploits is cheating
