Experimentimng with a new training toy (Kahoot). Anyone who wants to take a shot, join in! https://kahoot.it/challenge/02994574?challenge-id=5ecae8e3-acf7-421f-98d0-24b5b1dedeec_1676134689131

I'm giving it a try but I'm Fed so probably going to get it wrong. I'd like to know more about it. Might be something to use here.

I like the idea, but it needs some polish. In my line of work, I've heard of people using kahoot but not me personally, so I don't know how much flexibility there is to fix all of these things, but a few suggestions if possible:
a) Can you have more control over the video? I had to wait for a replay to verify the spot of the foul, which cost me precious pretend internet points.
b) The options threw a curveball which is why I wanted to rewind the video -- the fouls on A were listed in just one option, which makes it seem like the correct answer, but the resulting spot was the spot of the foul, not after penalty enforcement. The option with the correct enforcement yardage didn't have the fouls listed.
c) Is it possible to set up Page 1 where you watch the video, then Page 2 to answer the question? I found myself trying to evaluate the options while the video was going and therefore effectively looking at neither of them. If I know what the options are, I'll pay more attention to that segment of the play -- I'm not considering an illegal formation if all the options are about KCI, for example. In that situation, I'm also hyperfocused on the end of the kick, which makes it a little unrealistic for a true game scenario where I'm trying to keep focus on several aspects of the play.
d) A general question idea -- have "boring" plays and then ask questions about "mundane" details. Simple running play up the middle, then ask who the eligible receivers were, or who the back judge was keying on, or the number of a player making a block. What do you do pre-snap every play and then drill those to make it all second nature -- then when something going "wrong" it's easier to get a fix on the who/what/when/where.

"...then ask who the eligible receivers were, or who the back judge was keying on, or the number of a player making a block."
Or what the B should do when the ball has been touched by the receiving team, and is rolling loose (with, or without, a KCI or KCI/Targeting foul). ???

Thanks! Great ideas for incorporation where possible going forward.

In plays like these which do require some immediate actions by the officials it would be good to include that some how

Yeah, that back judge sure was admiring his flag on the ground, wasn't he?

Having watched only a few XFL games, I've found them entertaining. Having No immediate knowledge of specific Rule differences, I accept that those officiating the game are well schooled and know what they're doing. Just as there are specific Rule differences between NFHS, NCAA & NFL, I'm not surprised that there are specific rule adjustments for XFL designed for their particular niche, and "what's good for the goose, doesn't always apply to the gander".
Some of the XFL differences in rules/practices may provide opportunity, for other levels of the game, to observe field testing opportunities for concepts/adjustments that may/may not have value & application at other levels. XFL does provide opportunity for additional player development and the opportunity to enjoy quality football between the Super Bowl & Fall Kickoffs. I wish it luck.
