I found a madden Ruleset. I think it is very good and well laid out. I want to get your all's opinion on it before adopting it as our own as well. Maybe some tweaking needs done to it. I am certainly up to make an agreeable ruleset for Madden tournament play.

1. When an opponent is kicking (Punt, FG, or XPT) you may use any formation to try to
block the kick but you are NOT allowed to line-shift, move any player, and/or
MANUALLY BLOCK at anytime. If the computer comes in and blocks that's fine. If you

received. Remember, once this happens you must pause the game immediately and call
for a official to come and review the play. DO NOT take the liberty of reviewing the play
before contacting an official.
2. D-linemen must be kept on screen (as long as you can see a piece of them) LBs can

the opponent is ahead at that given point in the game.
4. If you feel that your opponent is cheating, notify a judge. The judge's decision is final
and you could be kicked out of the Tournament and all futures tournaments!
