Abstract:

An amusement device for simulating the strategy and results of a real football game is provided. The football game includes a backfield section and a downfield section. The offensive team selects running plays by selecting a starting rush position along a line of scrimmage within the downfield section and a rush direction position along a secondary also within the downfield section. The offensive team selects passing plays by selecting a starting passing position in the backfield section and a pass reception position in the downfield section. The defensive team selects a defensive play in which to stop the anticipated offensive play by placing a number of markers in desired positions in the backfield and downfield section. The result of the play is determined based on yardage charts and the selected offensive and defensive plays.
