Anyone Use Kicking?
Posted: Thu Aug 30, 2007 8:38 am
I'm considering adding Kicking to my league. Does anyone have experience of using kicking? Basically I'm looking to see whether there's anyone with a view as to what level of impact it has on the game, and if there are any obvious issues to consider.
The mechanic I'm considering is to add it as a separate action and my concept is that kicking is done while the ball is on the ground. The idea would be to have probably a dice-determined distance for a kick with the throw-in trajectory and allow a player en route to try and catch it (interceptions allowed). If not caught then it's a turnover.
I'm not looking at the field goals option that has had eome interest elsewhere. I am though intending to add a set of Kicking skills to my league down the line if I can come up with a mechanic that works and to add players with Kick access.
My big and genuinely perpetual league is House Ruled beyond traditional horizons so no need to stand on LRB ceremony.
