NOLAN'S SEASON playoffs

• Athletes who qualify for the Playoffs will automatically receive an invite to the 2020 MWLS vs NOLS Showdown in Las Vegas, NV.

• Finalists will compete in a head to head single elimination bracket.

• Finalists will alternate snaps on the Nolan’s Long Snapping Target with their designated opponent.

• Finalists will alternate between punts and field goal snaps UNTIL one athlete has achieved 3 strikes. The first athlete to achieve 3 strikes moves onto the next round. Finalists must be given a rebuttal if they snapped second.

• Finalists are REQUIRED to execute a LIVE post snap responsibility for every attempt.

ACCRUAL OF POINTS

• Snappers accumulate strikes per snap for accuracy. 

• PUNT ONLY -- It is worth 1 STRIKE for the football to go through the top box and HIT THE BACK NET. The ball can hit the post, bounce in, and count as a STRIKE — similar to that of kicking and uprights. If the ball hits the post and DOES NOT hit the back net, no strikes will be awarded.

• PAT/FG ONLY -- It is worth 1 STRIKE for the football to go through the bottom box.

DEDUCTION OF STRIKES

• DISCLAIMER: Strikes can ONLY be deducted on a snap to snap basis.

• Significantly Wobbled Snap (different than that of a slower rotation or small “tail”)

• Failure to execute Post Snap Responsibility

• Complete Missed Block for Snaps that require Protection

• Failure to stay inside “Kill Zone”
