XFL
Rules
No
Official Rule book yet but while we this is what we got. When the new
rules are published we'll have'em here.
This
is what we have heard:
No fair catches
on punts.
Only one
foot required in bounds on pass receptions.
35-second
play clock.
10 minute
halftime.
Cameras sure
to be located everywhere : locker rooms, sidelines , helmets, shoes.
Players,
coaches locker rooms and huddles will be miked.
On top of
normal salary, players will be paid bonuses if their team wins.
Heard. ".the
no fair catch rule will go something like this...5-yard halo for the punt
returner...chasers on the outside can not release until the ball is kicked...a
ball punted out of bounds will be a 5 yard penalty and a re-kick...finally...and
the really fun twist of the XFL no fair catch rule is - once the ball
travels 25 yards it will be a live ball...kind of like an onside punt...in
other words the punt in the XFL will be a really exciting play...no out
of bounds...every kick returned and no more watching a ball roll unattended
down the field. "
The XFL will
utilize the "in the grasp rule" that the NFL uses...late hits and hits
above the neck are not allowed.
