(Associated Press) – US Football Association One year experience With the new starting base It becomes permanent this season With a new disk that the league hopes will lead to a greater increase in the rate of revenue.
The league also agreed to changes at the additional work base, expand the assistance of repetition, and made some other technical changes for this season. They were shown during the opening match of the exhibition Thursday night between the Detroit Lyons and Los Angeles charms, which also appeared to the American Football AssociationVirtual Measurement FalconsThis replaced old time chains to determine the first declines.
The league tried the so -called dynamic start in 2024 in the hope of more returns, while making the play safer as well. Malcon’s voice in April to make the change permanent while moving the dispute over kicks that reach the end area while flying from 30 to 35, which is expected to lead to more kicks in playing and more returns.
There was no change inPaymentPhiladelphia used successfully on the way to winning Super Bowl last season.
Here is an explanation of some of the new rules that will be in place.
What is new with the start of the match?
The league was mostly happy with the experimental kick that was placed in its place for 2024, which led to an increase in the starting rate of the match from a record level by 21.8 % in 2023 to 32.8 % last season, while reducing the rate of injuries as it was the most play in the game.
Al -Qaeda made lasting as a plays quarrel by placing players with coverage and blockers close to each other to get rid of high -speed collisions that contributed to many injuries in the play. The league said that the concussion rate decreased by 43 % on the returns, with a significant decrease in low -body injuries.
The problem last season was that many teams still choose to kick the ball in the end area because the touch was not sufficiently punishment. The average position of the start of the reaction was only 2.4 yards from the average starting position after the revenues, which is a 27.6 yard line.
By moving the touch to the 35, the rate of return will increase to between 60 % and 70 %, with a similar increase in long returns, adding more excitement to the game.
The league also agreed to a small tablet on how to allow the blockers in the lock -up -to -restaurant team in the preparation area that may lead to longer returns.
In the match on Thursday night, there were seven returns in the nine match – including the missing Tlesse of Detroit at the opening kick. There was one kick that went to an union and another that did not reach the landing area in the air and was monitored in forty.
What about kicks beside?
The teams will still need to announce their intention to try a side kick due to the various configuration. But the new change will allow the extra teams to one attempt before the start of the fourth quarter after Kansas City was forced to kick in a depth of 28 points in the last minute of the third quarter of Super Bowl.
Cover players will also be allowed to place one square in the hope of increasing the recovery rate from about 6 % over the past three seasons to at least 10 %.
How will additional work change?
The league agreed to a proposal to make the extra time for the normal season resembles the post -season, as both teams got an opportunity to possess, even if the team that gets the ball records the first landing.
The US Football Association added additional work in the normal season in 1974, adding a 15 -minute sudden death period that ended in any degree. In 2010, the base was modified to a modified sudden death that required a decline in the opening of the opening to finish the game immediately instead of only a field goal. This was in fact in both the regular season and the qualifiers.
Then the additional work was shortened for the normal season to only 10 minutes in 2017. The base changed in 2022 in the qualifiers, only the two teams gave the opportunity to register even as it decreases in the opening possession.
Now this will be the case in the normal season, after achieving the improvement in the match in the match OT over the easiest TD opening.
According to Sportradar, six out of 16 additional games last season on TD from the opening to the most additional work games that ended in the first campaign since the changing of the base in 2010.
In all, the teams that won the additional work time won 75 % of the time last season, according to Sportradar, and has a victory rate of 0.606 in additional time since it was reduced to 10 minutes.
The league maintained the additional period of work for 10 minutes instead of expanding it to 15 minutes as Philadelphia originally suggested, which may lead to the choice of the teams to go to 2 and win if it matches the opening TD with one of its circulation because there may be no time to possess another.
Recalin help
The US Football Association has expanded the restarting assistance system to cancel objective calls if there is “clear and clear” evidence that there is no mistake. Calls can include penalties from the facial bottom, whether there is a forced contact for the head or neck area, and treatments with wooden collars and stumbling. Replay will also be able to nullify a rough penalty kick or a penalty kick if the video shows that the defender contacted the ball.
The league uses a restarting assistance in recent years to cancel clear errors on aspects such as whether the pass is passed or where the ball should be monitored without the referee to stop the game for review.
The Competition Committee says that there is no interest in allowing re -providing assistance to summon the penalties on the plays that officials in this field miss.
Other changes
Referees will not use chains to determine the first drop, and instead choose a virtual measurement system. This will not cancel officials who discover the ball manually and use chains to determine the line to earn.
This was on Thursday night for the first time after 10 yards run by Craig Reynolds from Detroit in the second quarter. Officials stopped the game to measure, instead of the upcoming chains on the field, everyone looked at the video and saw that Reynolds got the first.
Some procedural rules have been changed regarding the injured reserve. The teams can put two players onThe infected reserveWith a return to return when the lists are reduced to 53 players instead of remotely. The qualifying teams will also be granted additional returns from infrared labels.
