FIRSTDOWN CHAIN

Place the magnetic First-Down Chain on either

of the sidelines. Before each series of downs,

make sure the ﬁ rst post on the First-Down

Chain is on the line of scrimmage and lines

up properly with the Scrimmage Marker. The

First-Down Chain should be moved only

when a ﬁ rst down is made or when the teams

exchange possession of the ball.

The First-Down Chain is to be used in making

measurements out of the ﬁ eld. When the ball

location is close to a ﬁ rst down, either player

may call for the chain. To make a measurement

on the ﬁ eld, move the First-Down Chain hori-

zontally across the ﬁ eld to the ball location. If

any portion of the ball carrier’s base extends

beyond end of the forward post, the ﬁ rst down

has been made.

GOALPOST

Place in the hole located on the frame of the

ﬁ eld as shown on the product image.

The playing ﬁ eld vibration may be regulated

for fast or slow action by pressing the Blitz 1

and Blitz 2 buttons. There are three options

for speed control, depending on what kind of

game you want to play.

Classic Control

Choose one speed setting for your game.

Before the game begins, test your players

on both speeds, and decide on that you and

your opponent prefer to play. Once you have

decided on a speed, it should not be changed

for the duration of the game.

Most tournament games follow Classic Control

rules. Because your players will move at only

one speed, a well-designed play is critical.

Coach’s Control

The oﬀ ensive team has complete control of

the game speed in this type of game. The

oﬀ ensive player may switch between BLITZ 1

and BLITZ 2 as often as desired, in order to get

players in the best position possible.

In a Coach’s Control game, the defensive player

may not change the speed during the play. If

the defensive player does illegally manipulate

the game speed, the result is a 10-yard penalty

and the down should be replayed. The oﬀ ense

has the option of declining this penalty, if it

does not negatively impact the play.

Custom Control

Create your own rules for changing the speed

of the game during the play. For best results,

players should agree to a set of rules regarding

how often during a play each team will be

allowed to change game speeds. For example,

you may decide to have the oﬀ ensive player

set the initial game speed, and allow the

defensive team one opportunity to ‘blitz’ by

increasing the game speed.

Important Note: Players should agree on the

Speed Control rules before the game begins.

For Vibrating Football Tournaments, all games

should be played according to the same rules

in order to maintain a fair competition.

SPEED CONTROL

CAUTION

NFL Vibrating Football is not designed

to have two players constantly chang-

ing the game speed, pressing several

buttons at once. This will result in poor

gameplay, and could damage your unit.
