- Punts and FG are allowed, if you play the 4th down as a regular play, the rule above does count

Am I reading this correctly that it's ok to pass on 4th downs only if you decide to 'go for it'?

There are 2 options to obay the rule 'run-only'.
You create a Playbook or you use game setting.
In both cases a few plays can be passes.
On playbook there is a small chance that the QB overrules your playbook setup on a play. Might be a pass.
On game settings the run-happiest setting does still feature under 10% pass chance.
So passes can't be avoided.

BUT:
I did post this under the rules as question clarification.
Now, two ways to deal with this from managers point of view.
1) Try your best to avoid passing, means playbook and game settings don't include pass plays on purpose.
2) Put some pass plays in playbook and or game settings to make big plays in certain situations.
I think it is save to say that for 1) the manager is save regarding a penalty.
For 2) this could lead to big wins but could also lead either to > 10% pass plays and penalty or it could lead to a Commisionar penalty because of spoiling the fun.
The basic idea is to have fun with rushing games, and in the past this did work in a great way. Not a single manager did go for 2).
Most of the time we had wrong settings and games were ruled than.
Still, I expect 100% rush plays and a fraction on pass.
At the end I will watch those games closely and I will react on ninja pass plays, if they happen too often.

So if you like to test option 2) the god of Leatherhead League will toss the spoil-the-fun-penality flag eventually quicker than you think.

Last time, I lost 3 managers that way, when Jack6 hang them higher ...

So, just behave! WRs are just overpaid one skill monsters, no need to feed them by passing heavily ... in Germany, we call them "Fangschlampen" *, for a reason

(* catch bitches could be a possible translation, I guess)

E: Looks like a catch bitch. Not completely sure though, if it's a bitch, actually ;-)

I will decide tomorrow.
Still struggling with the CoC.

And we have, if we not accept the CoC-Teams, 11 teams. That scheduling will be fun.

So, if there are more interested, let me know.

Hello Jack, I am interested in the Leatherhead league but have some questions. I am currently involved with 2 Friendly cups (just starting) so my Wednesdays & Sundays are booked for awhile, does this exclude my participation ? I've no problem paying credits for Friday games.
Will the modified scores or the engine score show up on my games page ?
I've run 75 run plays in past games but is there any other ways to limit passing to be sure one doesn't surpass the 10% threshold ?
I'd like to try the Leatherhead League if possible.

This tournament is a selve organized one on the Friday friendly game slot.
Means, the friendly cups on Wednessday and Sunday are irrelvant on that.
Also no credits for the games itselves are needed, but the Credits for the cup, so that Peter can finance the prices.
So, no it does not exclude you from participation.
The engine score will be shown on your games list, the 'real' score with all the adjustments eventually needed by my, the damn guy organizing it, will only be shown on the schedule forum thread, I have to create.
Please have a look into series 2 (link in the initial text) and those schedule page.
The savest way to avoid 10%+ passing plays is to set up a playbook having only rush plays in it.
2nd saves way is to use games settings with mainly rush on all downs.
I put you in as CONFIRMED.
