Do you position the pitch?

I often play sitting next to my opponent along a sideline, but that's because I have to lay in my students-house living room, with only a small table just as wide as the board and as long as the board plus the dugouts...
If we sit at an endzone it is very difficult to reach the entire board, and if we sit at different sidelines, we block the only passage through the living room into the kitchen...

It's a bit of a small room...

I play either way, depends on what room we have available, but out of choice I would play endzone to endzone.

As for bias, I hadn't noticed any on the sideline style of play but often opponents will play with a definate left or right sideline bias e-to-e. I don't conciously do this myself but I tend to end up down the left sideline most commonly.

Never played it off the sidelines.

Seems... odd.

play on sidelines at home. Simply because thats the way the table in the middle of my living room is placed. There is no "right or wrong".

I find that PbEM has given me a real tendency to want to play my tabletop games from the sideline, but like's been said, whatever works

Hey tom, that gave me an idea, when are we getting 3d images with a top down view for pbem???

I'd prefer end to end, it's more fun to get up and reach over once you get closer to the opponent's EZ.

Give you more of a quaterbacks view instead of the sideline coach.

And yeah, we also put more than one board on the table regularily.
