NationStates Jolt Archive

I have not been around the NS forums long as an active member, more of an observer, and I have noticed a wide range of sports played by the nations such as Soccer, Rugby, and Lacrosse just to name a few. Now I know that I am not the only person who would be interested in the formation of an American football league of some sort. I am not sure how it would be done but I am sure some of the more experienced guys would have some sort of an idea.

We could play in some league independent of our nations and work on some kind of draft/recruiting system or an international league done in the fashion of many of the other sports here.

Anyone else interested/ have any ideas.

I was thinking about a possible point system for a team's strengths and for the calculations.

A team has a total of 1.5 points to spend on their entire team. We could then spread the points out by position.

For example -

Christstan Knights

Offense -
OL - .11
QB - .14
RB - .11
WR - .14
Total: .5/1

Defense -
DL - .15
LB - .15
CB - .13
S - .12

Special Teams
KR - .1
PR - .1
K - .1
Special Teams Defense - .1

Now this could be too complex and could be streamlined but then we could work on some simple calculations for drives and series.

Any ideas or interest?

I think we could do calculations by having teams have about 4-5 possessions per quarter making it possible to have as much as 140 points if you were to score on every possession.
