Crazy from the Heat (Special Rules)!
The heat and humidity of an Alabama summer are enough to drive anyone nuts. Before the start of each match, a player with no additional skills is chosen as "Crazy from the Heat" and once per half gets a free foul with the Dirty Player +1 skill (still subject to referee ejection) OR once per half gets Frenzy applied to a Block or Blitz. This is chosen before each match.
