Quote: this is just like real life: the stadiums in football, rugby, and american football aren't always the same size.
The stadiums aren't but the playing fields are.
If your league is ok with the diffrences I say run with it, it is in the fluff. I would just make sure that all teams get an even amount of matches on each field. |

U.S Sports fields:
Football: all the same.
Basketball: all the same.
Baseball: basepaths and pitchers mound all have specific distances but the rest (out of bounds, outfield, etc) is up to each club.
Hockey: I'm not 100% sure... I live in Chicago, we only have minor
league teams here... but if I remember correctly they have to be within certain upper & lower limits, but there is some differences. |

| In regards to the Blackhawks, I stand by my original statement... |

No hockey rings can vary within leagues as well. And the Europe leagues have a larger style than the North American rinks...
Though the boards in Boston are murder...  |

| OK, just do whatever you want... but I still think that the playing fields aren't always the same size. |

In American Football, the pitches are the same size regardless of what stadium you are in.
Same goes for Canadian football. |

You don't really need a range ruler. Once you know the size of the squares (roughly 29mm square) and the length of the range ruler (IIRC, Quick, Short and Long are each 100mm, and LB is 80mm; can't remember the extra bit that goes over the thrower's square), you can derive the length of a pass using trigonometry.
After you have an equation for it, squares can be any size you like; even any shape, so long as the connections between squares are conserved. How about an oval shaped board where the squares are big and fat in the middle, but small and shallow toward the end zone, to give the impression that your players slow down when home is in sight? Or the opposite? 
Of course, the range ruler is a lot more fun than stuffing around with trig. |

Actually I think it's the Bruins' management/ownership that's murder...at least according to all the B's fans  |

And how would you figure out interceptions then? |

Well, if there's a pass attempt, the defending coach rolls a d6.
On a 1-5, there's no interception.
On a 6, the defending coach has to mathmatically prove that an interception is possible - using vectors, trig and some other stuff. If the passing coach agrees, then it's an interception.
Ought to really cut down on those pesky interceptions. (Just like using trig will cut down on those pesky passes...  ) |
