Anyone work 6-man football?

If I'm not mistaken, 6-man is only in Texas, correct? If so, it's one more way we are unique and good luck getting anyone to give THAT up.

If I'm not mistaken

You are. There are at least a couple of other states playing six man including Colorado and Nebraska.

 It was invented in 1934 by a coach in Nebraska. Currently Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Wyoming, Alabama and in parts of Canada they have 6-man football.  But with 183 6-man teams in Texas, they lead the nation.

That's what I've been told.  I will report back how it turns out this weekend.

The game went smooth.  At the end of the first half using 11 man rules the score was 7-0 in favor of the normal 11 man team.  The other team transitioned to 11 man pretty well.  Their defense was very solid.  Then for the second half we did 6 man.  The normal 11 man team had a hard time playing defense.  The final was 46 to 21 with the 6 man team winning.  The difference in the game was one teams ability to transition on defense.

As an experiment on transitioning, I have always wondered how a game between two well matched teams would go with one half playing Canadian and one half American rules.
I expect the biggest adjustment would actually be the play calling of the coaches, most of the individual positions have similar jobs.
