Competition Format
Each event carries a point placement value so each quarterback's final score is an accumulation of points for all events.
Mental Testing
Multiple choice and true/false written test that challenges each quarterback to know and understand defensive coverages and schemes, game situations and rules, position technique, and leadership qualities.
Coverage Call
Read and CALL OUT the defensive coverage before your opponent while doing a 5 step drop. There are 5 coverage types (0,1,2,3,4,) that a defensive secondary will simulate.
Physical Testing
A mini-combine format; testing in the 40 yd dash, vertical jump, standing broad jump, shuttle run (5,10,15), and weighted ball throw.
On-The-Field- Events
Speed and Mobility
Each quarterback must maneuver through an obstacle course before making a throw on the run at stationary target.
Stationary Accuracy
Targets are strategically placed around the field for the quarterback to take his best shot at hitting each one. There is a total of 5 throws to make in 25 seconds.
On-the-Move Accuracy
Targets are positioned on the field and will begin to move upon command; each quarterback will get 7 throws and the last throw is a deep ball for extra points.
Deep Ball
Each quarterback gets 2 throws to make the longest throw possible to test arm strength.
