Similarities between the Kicking Challenge & the NFL Combine?


Said ex-NFL head coach Mike Holmgren, "Anybody who's asked me, I've told them, 'Compete in the combine. Don't worry about it.' That message hasn't gotten across to enough of them, I don't think. I just think they need to go out there and compete. That's part of the deal. (You want to) watch them grit their teeth after they throw a bad one or throw one where they couldn't gauge a receiver, and see what they do with the next one. I think they do themselves a disservice by not teeing it up here."

"From my perspective, it's all about the competition. It's never going to get any better as far as the type of conditions you're under. They want to see what you have when you're standing on the same field next to your competition. You get an apples-to-apples comparison that way. In talking to scouts and coaches, that apples-to-apples competition is important to them. The key word out of the whole combine is compete. They want to see players who aren't afraid to compete."

RULES

NEW FORMAT FOR 2010: One KICKING CHAMPION, one PUNTING CHAMPION, & one SNAPPING CHAMPION will be named for each grade level (freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors).

The KICKING CHAMPION will be crowned based on the combination of FG and Kickoff points. Punting and kickoffs will be charted first. Field goals will be the last event.

First, all kickers will be charted on six kickoffs. The best five will be scored. Hangtime will not be factored into the scoring, but will be charted for recruiting purposes.

A kick between 50-59 yards = 1 point
A kick between 60-69 yards = 2 points
A kick of 70+ yards = 3 points

The field goal competition will be double elimination. Every kicker will start with a 25 yard field goal (left hash). The order is 25 – LH, 25 – RH, 30 – LH, 30 – RH, etc. Kickers move on to the next attempt until they have missed twice. Each made kick = 1 point.

The kickoff and field goal points will be added. The kicker with the highest point total in each grade level will be named "kicking champion."

The PUNTING CHAMPION is determined by the combination of distance and hangtime. Ten punts will be recorded. No warmup punts. The hangtime is multiplied by 10 and added to the distance for each kick. The points for each kick are added for the total score. (i.e. A punt has a hangtime of 3.9 seconds with a distance of 60 yards. The points for that kick would be (10 x 3.9) + 60 = 99. Punters with the top 4 point totals will advance to a final round and punt 5 more each. The punter with the highest overall point total in each grade level will be named the "punting champion."

The LONG SNAPPING CHAMPION criteria will be announced soon.
