I'm pretty sure this play does not result in a touchback?

Missed FG from one, or less, then a touchback?

Also, one missed FG from the one is acceptable. But my FG kicker went 2 for 6. I imagine this is random? Maybe it could get tweaked a bit?

Also my 4th down play didn't fire, which should have resulted in a run. There was a play loaded (I checked). It could be that it was closer than the opponent .5 yard line, which is the closest I can get for my play/rule. Can we make a 0 yard line selection to cover plays that are less than the .5 yard line?

Any FG kick missed that is spotted before the 20yd line will always be spotted at the 20. This is not the line of scrimmage but where the ball is placed to kick. I am pretty sure that is the rule

Yep, that part is right. Now I just have the problem with 0-.5 yards not being an option because my 4th down rule should have fired.

I'm looking at your rules and don't see one that should have fired. I see one 4th down rule that would have been called but it only fires if you are down by 2 or less, but you were down by 4 in this case.

As for not being able to go to 0 on the yardage, I am not aware that this doesn't work, in fact I just tested it on my account and didn't have a problem - are you unable to get the slider to go to 0? If so, what browser and version are you using?

OK you're right on the score part. I hadn't noticed that. I am using Firefox as my browser.

That's really weird, so when you drag it all the way to the left you can't get it to go below 0.5? I just tried it on firefox version 32.0.3 and it works fine for me. One thought might be to try changing it to a quadrant, saving it, and then see if when you open it back up it is at zero. You might also try Chrome (that's my primary browser) and see if it works better there.

Any one else having this issue?

I just tried it again and it worked? I don't know why, but I'm good. Thanks.
