I just want to remind folks who are replaying seasons prior to 1974 that offensive holding, illegal use of hands, and tripping penalties were 15-yard violations. These penalties were reduced to 10-yards in 1974.

Hi OGuard,
I’m enjoying your replay but I have a question for you that I hope you can help me with. (I also have asked it on BTL forum.)
I’m starting to replay (hopefully) the ’65 AFL/NFL (with Mark Zarb’s cards) and I’m puzzled by the proper interpretation for a field goal attempt by SD.
The Chargers are on the 25 yard line and I was going to attempt a field goal on 4d. I of course have the modern boards but which column to use? I know that the goal posts are 10 yards closer in ’65.So do I use the 10-19 YL for my place kick (25 yd line minus the 10) or the 20-29 YL column.
I’m guessing the 10-19 column since the new boards (mine have a ’86 copywright date) have taken into account I believe the extra fg distance of the 10 yards.
Let me know what you would do.
Thanks for all of your service to the APBA football community. I haven’t played in 20 plus years but I’m enjoying it so far!

Chuck,
You would read the result from the 20-29 YL column and add 7-yards (the long snap) to the result. The kick would be recorded as a 32-yard field goal.
