Request For: Pro and College Football
Request Title: Opening Kickoff
Description
I'm not sure what is used to determine who receives the opening kickoff, but many teams are using it as part of strategy.
In "Coaching options" allow coaches the opportunity to Receive or Defer to the second half.

Admin Notes
This would be a fair amount of work to implement and add another knob to the control screens and the templates. But, my main question is, why would this be of any value? Each team will get the ball first in one half, so it's not like someone gets an extra possession as a result. It seems like window dressing only.

Comments
Jeff Blevins (Oct 20 12:43:41 2021
): This would be a cool option to have.
Pythagoras A (Mar 30 07:15:14 2022
): I feel like home team just always gets the ball first, possibly including OT. If you chose to defer, would that decision carry over into OT?
Ronnie Butler (Nov 8 20:28:10 2022
): Definitely a strategy point for me. I'm new so I was curious if I was missing this. Something simple would suit me just to always kick if winning toss, I based my initial set up around this idea.
Gregor Ellis (Oct 13 19:43:35 2023
): More realism is good.
