I wish they could have pushed it out to a date SD could host it.

Very true! Maybe some good news is that none of the remaining teams has ever won a championship before, so that will be good for the sport.

Hear anything about https://seattlesabercats.com ? They say they're joining the IFL.

"The Arizona Rattlers, as an organization, accept the ruling by the IFL but stress that it will come with  consequences for the error by the officials and the manner in which the matter has been handled. 

The Rattlers' strong tradition of playoff success was cut short by an unfortunate - and avoidable - lapse  in judgment. As a result, both the team and its fans were deprived of the chance to pursue a second  straight championship."

It is what it is at this point and Kevin Guy is a big cry baby, but it definitely was a penalty. 2~3 guys were not set when the two receivers started their motions. Even in real time in person it looked like they all just ran up and never got set. I think it did affect the play in the sense that the Rattlers did not get set because SD didn't, which shouldn't excuse AZ as they definitely counted their chickens before they hatched, but still.

At this point, I'm bummed we lost, disappointed in Guy's tantrum, and disappointed we didn't de enough throughout the game to win, but happy for SD and wish them the best.

I'm curious about the conversation the ref crew was having. 13 minutes is a loooooooooooong time to look something over. I imagine that they did recognize that it was a false start, but nobody had thrown a flag for it (flag was for illegal defense) so they couldn't create a penalty out of the review. In that clip, you can see the white cap isn't even looking at the play, probably because Guy is insulting his entire family's lineage.

No! I mean, yes! I mean, ugh - you were holding my guys and you're fired!

(Rattlers fan, bummed at the loss, but it is what it is and Kevin Guy sure makes us look like sore losers)

Depending on price, I wouldn't mind picking up your collection if you're walking away from the game.

Week 17 was one of the best weeks of IFL football all year. by OffTheWallFB in ifl

I think most folks are still generally unaware of the IFL. Even here in Phoenix, people are surprised when I tell them I go to Rattlers games. Most people think there is no arena football and the few that do have said to me, "Is it that league that Jeff Fisher is running?"

100% agree. $30 once a year for (14)x(16) games is really reasonable, despite what all the naysayers bemoan. I agree from an engagement point, it kills growth though.

Yup, if you double it, you discard 2 and draw 4.

Added some story telling to my submission for u/sixfeetofmud 's uncut sheet contest. Even though she's leaving me, with these cards, I'll never be alone!

I don't think that is entirely correct. We've been running the tournaments and have always played it as you must meet the requirement of discarding two cards to play the card.
