USER’S GUIDE: NFL VIBRATING FOOTBALL MODEL NO.
C ongratulations on your purchase of NFL Vibrating Football by Excalibur Electronics, Inc. One of the best games in history just got better! NFL Vibrating Football has the classic gameplay that has been enjoyed for decades, but now that both players can control the vibration, it’s more exciting and competitive than ever.
INTRODUCTION PLAYER ASSEMBLY Vibrating Football is a challenging, exciting strategy game that tests your playmaking skills with a team of eleven players and one MultiFunctional Quarterback that passes, kicks and runs. You call all the plays and set up the offensive and defensive formations, working to outthink and outmaneuver your opponent.
FIRSTDOWN CHAIN your opponent prefer to play. Once you have decided on a speed, it should not be changed for the duration of the game. Place the magnetic First-Down Chain on either of the sidelines. Before each series of downs, make sure the first 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 first down is made or when the teams exchange possession of the ball.
Follow the diagram and simply insert or snap the wheel into the player bases. To have the wheel in the basic or starting position, make sure the two legs on the wheel are in the forward position. From this starting point you can test the movements for each player. STANDARD BASES On the underside of the player bases you will notice backward slanted “legs” which help control the forward motion of the player. Your player’s speed may be altered by slanting the legs toward the front or the back of the base.
Kicking 1. 2. 3. These sculpted players are molded in five distinct poses. Each player’s base is marked with one of the codes as shown in the image. These players may be assigned to any position on your team, but as a guideline, the following positions are best suited to your player types: Pull the kicking leg back until it snaps behind the “tee”. Slide the split foam ball on the tee. Do not put the ball on the tee too tightly. It should rest lightly for best kicking results.
OUT OF BOUNDS VIBRATING FOOTBALL METHODS If any portion of the ball carrier’s base touches the sideline or frame of the playing field, he is out of bounds and play stops. Play resumes on the next down where the ball went out. Standard The standard method to play vibrating football is to have all players set up to move without turning. Each player will move in the direction he is facing. The offense should try to set up the offensive line to block for the back he chooses to run.
KICKOFF Regular Rules Kickoffs are made from the 35-yard line at the beginning of the game, at the start of the second half, and after the conversion attempt following each touchdown. After the conversion attempt, the scoring team must kick off to the opponent. All bases are adjusted to run straight ahead, and may not be changed. 1. 2. Players should be lined up behind the spot of the ball. The kicker is placed on the 35-yard line.
FORWARD PASS pick it up and run. If the ball falls on the field and no player touches it, the player closest to the ball (offense or defense) has recovered the fumble and may return it. Once the offensive player touches the quarterback during the play he must attempt to pass or kick. The quarterback may be manually faded back or to the side, but may not be moved forward. The passer may not fade back more than 30 yards from the line of scrimmage or the ball is considered downed at that point.
3RD QUARTER: PENALTIES OFFSIDES The 2nd Half begins with a kickoff. The team that received the opening kickoff must kick off to begin the 3rd quarter. The team against which the penalty was made has the option of accepting or declining the penalty. If the penalty is accepted, the offending team is penalized 5 yards, and the down is repeated. If the penalty is declined, the result of the play stands and the ball is put into play at the yard line at which the play stopped. The down advances as normal.
