Instructions for using Offensive Play Calling Sheets

 

To select a play, survey the situation on the field, including score, time remaining, etc.  Select a situation (Normal, Short Yardage, Long Yardage, Hurry-up, Slow-down).  Then, roll three 10-sided dice (you could use red, white and blue) and read them in order (as an alternative, you could roll the single d10 which came with your game three times).  Dice rolls range from “000” to “999”.  A play is selected by looking under the “Dice” column for the range which your dice combination fits. 

 

For example, three d10 colored red, white and blue are rolled with a red “2”, white “9” and blue “7”, giving a combination of “297”.  The offensive team is in their “Normal” (in this case, Pro Set) offensive formation.  In this case, the play selected is play #9,  a “HB End Run”:

If you don’t have three d10, you could just roll the d10 which came with the game three times.  If the first roll were a “5”, the second a “6” and the third a “1”, the combination would be “561”, which is play #14, a “HB Screen”.

 

Sheets have been saved in Word 6.0 format to accommodate as many customers as possible.  You may wish to shade areas of the table (such as the “Play” or “Dice” column(s)) before printing the sheets, which will make them somewhat easier to use.
