Also, personally I am more comfortable repeating the same identical line for each group individually, rather than trying to elegantly combine them together in one. Great tip from you and Boatek about the blank lines. I'll try that... Can you elaborate on what you mean by 'repeating the same identical line for each group'? Maybe with a fictitious example? Thanks again! |

Hmm.. Bad wording on my part. Nearly identical. And that "nearly identical" is less about the number of differences, and more about the similarity of the situation from the point of view what our immediate goal is.
For example this part: Quarter Down to go Distance GL Score Clock Offense formation Playtype Playdirection - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ----------------------------------------- (...) 1 4 any >50 any any Goalline O punt all directions edit copy top up down bottom delete deactivate (...) I have put separately at the end of each of the 4 groups of offense PB (main groups in offense I have based on the quarter). Except for OT (it's still there but slightly modified). Of course it's possible to combine all 4 into just one piece, but I prefer to have it split, because then I see each quarter as a whole - not having to remember that there is something elsewhere. In the case of defense, I might have a group of lines which will be identical except for (1) quarter number (2) the difference in "prefer". Just to give you example to explain the idea. Because to be honest, I said "I have it" but that was wishful thinking a bit :-D I _will_ have it, that's for sure. As soon as I have time to sit to it. Right now it's more in my head than in my PB's. But I am sure that's how I want it. Because it will be easier preparing a PB for specific opponent this way, looking only at specific parts that I know they are already there - and change them. Rather than going thru the whole code one line after another. At least I hope so  |

Thanks, I get it now...(I think)
So, taking punts as an example, rather than giving one overall punt instruction to cover all quarters you might repeat broadly the same punt instruction in the separate 'Q1 PB group', 'Q2 PB group', etc. |

I have 4 playbooks. My big one is around 1000+ lines. By down and distance and position and time and qtr and score. Sometimes it's pass heavy. Sometimes it's run heavy. Often it's balanced. No way to really know which offensive scheme is gonna show up. My other 3 books are varying degrees of depth and each formatted differently. One is Pass heavy. One run heavy. One fairly balanced. It took many many many seasons to build, improve, tweak and correct etc.. I also have 4 different defense books all a little different. Being unpredictable and hard to be scouted does win some games. 1000 LINES ?  |
