Delete "The idea was developed in Lancaster, England when games of Madden became a bit boring." Pretty well sums it up for me. The idea is that after you go as far as you can with the kickoff return, punt return, fumble recovery, you have to kick a field goal or punt the ball down field. Extra rules are included in case one finds that it's even more boring that way. Mandsford (talk) 14:44, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Of course it is made up, its a game! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjamayne (talk • contribs) 16:27, 11 February 2010 (UTC) — Cjamayne (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Of course, and it's fair to say that nearly everything we enjoy is "made up", usually by mankind or a deity, and a small fraction of these things earn the dubious honor of being mentioned on Wikipedia. But some made-up things are more notable than others. I think that the WP:MADEUP says it best: "If you have invented something novel in school, your garage, or the pub, but it has not yet become well known to the rest of the world, please do not write about it in Wikipedia. Write about it on your own website or blog instead." Interesting idea, yes; well known to the rest of the world, no. Mandsford (talk) 17:22, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cjamayne, did you read WP:MADEUP yet? If not, please do. If yes, then ignoring it does not excuse the article. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 16:30, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
