Where did we officially land on this one? I'm hoping 50% for PS & PM and unlimited for PL & PRD (Please see my previous post above for the argument for these percentages).

Understanding that math is difficult for some people, I really hate 100% for anything in our League, but there are probably some. However, I am willing to give something reasonable to each category for the upcoming season, and we can debate the results. Here is where I come out:

Pass Short to 3 of 6, or 50% maximum, if using more than six plays;

Pass Medium to 3 of 6, or 50% maximum, if using more than six plays;

Pass Long to 4 of 6, or 67% maximum, if using more than six plays; and

Pass Dazzle to 3 of 4, or 75% maximum, if using more than four plays.

I will create a game plan with these percentages and test it and it will be interesting to see if there are any differences.

I ran one test (1000 games simmed) and I didn't see enough difference to read anything from the data.

I think the increased usage this rule will allow in 2-DL defenses will be most useful with PM, PL, and PRD and any advantage that might come from this will come with profile changes design with this in mind that will take advantage of themany good 2-DL plays we have in those 3 categories.
