+ A Ball Carrier a running back, a quarterback past the line of
  scrimmage, a receiver who has caught a pass, or a defender who has
  taken the ball away from the offense.

* In a Single Game, in the Beginner mode, laterals and handoffs are
  automatic.

# By everything, I mean it will do stuff on random.  Sometimes, it will
  stiff arm, and other times it will be a speed burst.  Kind of like
  the one-button feature in Madden '99.

  The manual states that the "X" button Super Tackles on Defense.  This
  may be a glitch in the game, or just my copy of it.  Please let me
  know if this happens when you play.

Kicking:
-  Press "A" to stop the arrow and aim the kick.
-  Press "A" to stop the power meter and determine how hard you'll kick
   the ball.  The ball will be snapped, and your kicker will begin his
   approach at this time.
-  Press "A" to determine which part of the ball you'll kick.  If you
   kick the lower part of the ball, the kick will go high, but not very
   far.  If you kick the upper part of the ball, it will go far, but
   not very high.  If you do not press "A", this meter will randomly
   stop (does not apply to punts).
-  Your kicker will automatically kick the ball.
-  Like offense, "B" will call out "HUT" (does not apply to kickoffs)

Teams:
------
There are 97 teams from Division I, Division I-AA, and Division II in 
Super Play Action Football.  Super Play Action Football does not have 
the NCAA license symbol on it, so the real school names are not used.

On the team selection screen, these teams are split into 6 screens.  
I've had a little trouble finding teams' real names, since SPAF was 
made before the NCAA's conference realignment.  If I made a mistake, 
please contact me.

Here are the list of teams on each screen, and the team's real name.

The question mark signifies that I am uncertain if I have the right 
real name.  If you know the truth, let me know.

Rankings:
---------
There are 15 powerhouse teams.  If you use one of them, you WILL 
consistently start in the Top 20, and probably end up Number 1 going 
into Bowl Week.  They are:

St of Fla               St of Penn              L.A.,CA
South Cal               Alabama                 Auburn,Ala.
Florida                 Tennessee               A&M
Michigan                Miami,Fla               Wisconsin
Colorado                Nebraska                ND

If you are not happy with your ranking after your game, hit the RESET 
button.  WARNING!!  YOU WILL HAVE TO PLAY THAT GAME OVER AGAIN!!  After 
the game is done, you'll get a different rank.  Don't be TOO greedy; 
you could go down.  And don't expect to go from 80 to 1 in one game 
either.  It won't happen.

Things that will help you go up in the ranks:
*  Winning. (of course)
*  Using a school with a good football reputation.
*  Playing (and beating) high ranked teams.
*  Good luck.

Things that will send you down the ranks:
*  Losing. (DUH!)
*  Using a school without a good football reputation.
*  Playing easy teams.
*  The polls screw you over and/or hate you.
*  Bad luck.

Bowl Games:
-----------
Bowl games, like teams, use fake, but similar names.  I've tried my 
best to list each bowl's real name.  If you know the real bowl name, 
contact me.

Bowl Name         Real Name         Bowl Name         Real Name
---------         ---------         ---------         ---------
Violet Bowl       Rose Bowl         Oahu Bowl         Aloha Bowl
Banana Bowl       Orange Bowl       Franklin Bowl     John Hancock Bowl
Salt Bowl         Sugar Bowl        Patriot Bowl      ???
Wool Bowl         Cotton Bowl       Independent Bowl  Independence Bowl
Siesta Bowl       Fiesta Bowl       Smash Bowl        Blockbuster Bowl?
Alligator Bowl    Gator Bowl        Justice Bowl      Liberty Bowl
Pear Bowl         Peach Bowl        Fame Bowl         Hall of Fame Bowl
                                                      (now known as
                                                      Outback Bowl)
Lemon Bowl        Citrus Bowl?      USA Bowl          ???
Vacation Bowl     Holiday Bowl

The first bowl you get invited to is the most prestigious (best).

The three best bowls are the Violet Bowl, Banana Bowl, and the Salt 
Bowl.  The Banana Bowl is usually the National Championship game.  The 
Violet Bowl can be the National Championship if the contestants (Big 10 
and Pac Champs) are Numbers 1 and 2.

If you get invited to the Violet Bowl, and neither you nor your 
opponent are Number 1 in the polls, REJECT THE INVITATION!!  You should 
also get an invitation to the Banana Bowl.  Take that one.  If you do 
not, reject all the other invitations, and you'll get a second chance 
to get into the Violet Bowl.

If you accept a bowl bid, it is not set in stone.  If you do not like 
your bowl choice, just hit the reset button.  You can choose a 
different bowl.

Playbooks:
----------
At the College level, there are 6 offensive playbooks and 5 defensive 
playbooks.  Below are all 97 teams and the combination of playbooks 
each one has, all 6 offensive playbooks, and the 5 defensive playbooks.

To find your teams playbook, check the list (sorted alphabetically), 
then scroll down and find the respective playbooks (off. #/def. #).  
For more information on each play, scroll down even farther to each

Run Plays:
For run plays, I've listed the name of the play, and a brief 
description of what happens.  There isn't much to run plays; the 
running back gets the ball, and everyone else blocks for him.

Play                  Brief Description
-----------------     -------------------------------------------------
Bootleg Left          after the Receiver on the right goes in motion,
                      the QB keeps the ball and rolls left
Change Up             the Fullback gets the handoff and runs to the
                      right side between the Tackle and the Tight End
Counter               the Halfback (on the left) takes the pitch and
                      goes right as several players block for him
Dive                  Fullback (middle Running Back) goes straight the
                      middle after the handoff
Double Reverse        The QB handoffs to a Receiver, who then gives the
                      ball to the HB
End Around            everyone blocks left after the QB hands off to
                      The Receiver (left) goes right
FG Fake Run           the offense lines up to kick a field goal, but
                      the Halfback (far right player) gets the handoff
                      from the holder and runs to the outside on the
                      left side
Freeze                the Halfback runs just outside of the Tight End
                      on the right side after the handoff
Full House Left       Fullback (in the middle) follows the other 2 RB's
                      to the left side after he receives the handoff
Full House Right      Fullback (in the middle) follows the other 2 RB's
                      to the right side after he gets the lateral
Line Buck             Halfback takes the handoff and run it up the
                      middle between the center and the Guard on the
                      right
Off Tackle            a handoff is given to the Halfback (right) as he
                      takes it through the line between the TE and
                      Tackle on the left side
Power Right           HB gets the handoff and squeezes in-between the
                      Guard and the Tackle on the right side
Power Slant           QB hands off to HB, who scrapes outside of the
                      right Tackle
Punt Fake Run         after lining up in punt formation, the Fullback
                      takes the snap and runs to the left side
QB Down Ball          the QB takes a knee after the snap
Quick Toss            a lateral to the HB (left RB), who follows the FB
                      and Receiver outside to the right
Single Wing Sweep     Halfback goes right after the lateral, just
                      outside the Tight End on that side
Sweep Left            HB (right RB) gets the lateral and follows in-
                      between the other two RB's                      
Sweep Right           the HB takes the pitch and goes right while the
                      Fullback provides a lead block for him
Wishbone Sweep        the Halfback on the left side goes way outside to
                      the left after the handoff

Pass Plays:
This is probably the biggest section.  All receivers will run one of 
the 13 patterns shown below:

    ^         /-\      /-\        \          /       \            /

       |     |         |            |     |              |  
       |     |         ----      ----     \              /  
       |     |            |      |         \            /   
       O     O            O      O          \--O    O--/

      6      7          8L        8R       9L         9R    

*An In pattern goes to the left sideline (QB's left).  An Out pattern 
goes to the right sideline (QB's right).

L stands for left.  A pattern with an L has the receiver going to the 
left, i.e. the receiver hooks left in a 2L pattern.

R stands for right.  A patter with an R has the receiver going to the 
right, i.e. the receiver slants right in a 5R pattern.

Patterns can be combined with a hyphen.  For example, the receiver 
first runs a flag pattern, then a fly pattern in a 3-1.  This also 
works for "L" and "R" patterns.

For each play, the name, QB's position and movement, and each of the 
receivers' (from left to right) patterns are listed.  Pass plays can 
have anywhere from 1 to 5 receivers.

*  If you look closely in the playbook, you'll see that the third pass
   receiver from the left is the RB on the right and the fourth one is
   the Tight End.
#  The order of the receivers is as follows:  1 is the left TE, 2 is
   the left RB, 3 is the right TE, and 4 is the right RB.
+  The order of the receivers is as follows:  1 is the TE, 2 is the
   left RB, 3 is the leftmost Receiver on the right side of the line,
   and 4 is the rightmost Receiver

Option Plays:
An option play is just a play where the QB can decide who gets the 
ball.  Unlike a run, where only one person is the ball carrier, two or 
more players can carry the ball in option plays.  An option play can 
also be a combination of a run and a pass.

I have listed all the option plays, your best possible option, and what 
that option is effective against.

DL's and 3 LB's.
