pLAYBOOK GUIDELINES & rEQUIREMENTS
Playbooks
Each NBL franchise must have an offensive and defensive playbook. Means by which each owner obtains their playbook may vary from organization to organization. Ways that you can obtain your playbook include:
1. Allow your coaches (head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator) to use the playbook they desire. Each coordinator will use the playbook they desire. Time Required: None
2. Create your own playbook (offensive, defensive, or both). You may decide to focus on one side of the ball or the other...or both.** Time Required: Varies
3. Combination of 2 & 3...Allow your coordinators to run their respective side of the ball, but implement a few ideas of your own.** Time Required: Varies
**When creating plays, you may do so by either submitting your plays to the commissioner OR by creating your plays within the Fbpro '98 program.
