On the boost...
Subjective... but the only 'sucessful boost' is one that leads to something.
If the player being boosted gets the next possesion - this is a good thing.
Rules could be something along the lines of:
Where your side holds the ball (ie offensive boost)
If the player who is boosted gets receives the next pass after being boosted they get points (shared between booster and boostee).
The length of the boost should be directly proportional to the points recieved.
Ie 1 jump = x points, 2 jumps = x+1 points, 3 jumps x+2 points, 4 jumps - x+3 points.
If x say = 5, then a 4 jump boost that earns the next possession would recieve a total of 8 points - 4 to the booster. 4 to the boostee.
The player who passed to the boostee gets the standard pass points...
To make even more complicated....
If the boostee recieves the 2nd possession after the boost - they get half boost points...
ie a boosts b upfield. Meanwhile c passes to d who passes to b.
The boost was still successful here as the player boosted received possession.
4 jump boost - therefore 4 points shared between booster and boostee.
:p
Defensive boost would work the same way.... but replace recieve pass with 'intercept'... and recieve second pass with 'tackle'.
So for example if you are boosted back into defence with four jumps and then intercept the oppositions pass. The boost points are shared between booster and boostee. The boostee who got the interception still gets their interception points...
If the boostee makes a tackle - booster / boostee get half boost points. Boostee who made tackle still gets tackle point...
WHOASA
Now that's some complicated shite... but it should make sense... doesn't it?
You are only rewarded for boosts that achieve something. Both the player who boosts, and the player who is sent downfield share the points. The boosted player still gets the points for doing something after being boosted...
All fair.
