It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.
Remember:
These rules are guidelines to sportsmanship.
Finding loopholes in the rules dosen't help the league, your team, and
most of all the player in the program.
It dosen't matter who scores the points, it's who can get the ball to the scorer.
