[NOTE #1]: The following can still be changed, and has not yet gone official. As it is such a big change that it may need to undergo revision. It will be published before Monday (the day Vrillion is unbanned).

*However, it would be greatly appreciated if this new change is implemented in every day scrimmages. These new changes do not affect anything, but balance the game, run game in particularly which in the longrun prevents clock draining and other balances.

[NOTE #2]: With these rule changes, the old snap between the hash rule is no longer in effect as the new ball placement and snap system replaces it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
{[ 5 RULES THAT WERE CHANGED/ADDED. TO BE ADDED TO THE RULEBOOK ]}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[LINEAR CENTER SNAPS]
Snaps by the center must be a straight snap to the recipient (Quarterback, Runningback, motioned Receiver) directly behind the center. Any "diagonal" or "side" snap (traditional direct snaps), that isn't a 180 degree linear snap (roughly or close) will result in immediate dead play and redo of down. The snap does not have to be directly to any specific person such as a Quarterback (as mentioned above) as long as the snap trajectory is straight down the middle behind the center (like a real football snap). Any jetsweeps, handoffs, or RB direct snaps can still be done. You can still be creative with play making. The Linear Center Snap rule applies for Field Goals or any play which involves a use of the center.

[BALL PLACEMENT]
If the previous play ends between the hash marks, the ball in placed at the center of field between the two hashes (traditional OFL ball placement). If the previous play ends out of bounds, on the hash marks, or outside of the hash marks then the ball will be placed at the closest hash mark.

*Simulated Example: Ball is currently placed in the middle of the hashes. The center snaps to the Quarterback directly behind him. The Quarterback throws a screen to his right outside of hashes, near the numbers to his Receiver. He is tackled and gains no yards. For the following play the ball is placed on the hashes where he was tackled by, in other words the closest hash to the tackle. Which in this case would be the right hash.

[KICKER CANNOT MOVE]
For any Field Goal, the kicker must get into a position where he feels he can kick comfortably. However, the kicker cannot move while he is about to kick. The only thing the kicker can do is jump or spin (for some mouselock users that may turn or fidget in the process of kicking). If at any point the kicker moves or runs, then the play is immediately converted into a pass play.

[FIELD GOAL BOUNDARY]
Kickers can set up for the field goal kick wherever they want, as long as it does not pass the boundary for any field goal which is the 50 yardline. The kicker cannot stand on the 50 or beyond it for the kick. Supported by the previous rule, if the kicker moves then the play converts into a pass play. So if the kicker is on the 50 or past it, the play is immediately converted into a pass play as well. This creates a challenge for longer field goals as the kicker will have a tighter space to set-up (40 yard field goals for example, will give the kicker basically 9 yards of room).

[CENTER SNAPBACKS]
Center snapbacks; which is an immediate pass to the center right after the Quarterback receives the ball from the Center is no longer allowed. Doing this play will result in a 5 yard penalty.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
{[ RULE CHANGE SUMMARY ]}
1. Center snaps must be straight behind the Center. Linear Center Snap Rule.
2. Ball Placement Rule. See [Ball Placement] section for elaboration.
3. All Field Goals now have a boundary, 50 yard line. Cannot kick on or past the 50.
4. Kicker cannot move while he has the ball for field goal. Moving turns play into a pass play.
5. Center Snapbacks are now illegal and a penalty.

I also like the hashes rule like real football. It gives the QB more space on one side to deal with.

I had this vision for a while, and I thought about it. And it really will and should work out. I just want more feedback. In case anyone is confused about the hash rule. It's a lot like the NFL's ball placement.

@David. No I did not say that anywhere. You need to re-read it thoroughly or just go off the NFL's ball placement. Same thing. Snaps just gotta be direct to a person in front of them. Like real football snaps.

We aren't doing statkeeping, and I don't personally plan to support or encourage that officially. Players tend to statkeep themselves, so that is fine. We aren't consistent enough to stat keep. So we will most likely never do it officially.

So are illegal snaps dead balls?
And how do bad snaps into endzone work? Safety or incomplete?

So faking field goals is harder now because as soon as you move everyone knows its a fake.

Any snap or pass that is a lateral that is oob, behind endzone is automatically incomplete. No matter if it bounces out of bounds or behind the endzone. Check rulebook.

Wait, so if the ball is hiked and it bounces inbounds then out the back of the endzone it results in safety or incomplete?

I like the new placement rule, adds more skill to the game, like changing your route because the ball is placed further towards OOB.
