I have played Xball in the PSP and I play in a local league now. The way our current local format works is you have 2 20 min halfs, 10 minutes in btwn.

You play for 2 minutes to eliminate the other team and take the flag to their end. A coach (who can also direct plays during the game) can throw in a towel to stop the clock and concede the point if his/her team is about to lose or cant win while the other team is ahead and stalling to eat up the remaining time. You then have two minutes to get your next line of 5 players ready, they play for 2 min or until the point is awarded, 2 min break, next line etc. Switch ends at the half. Penalties are taken for wiping, playing on, overshooting, etc and players serve time in a box or are ejected from teh match forcing their team to play shorthanded. Ramping is allowed with a 15 bps cap. Our two lines = 10 guys go through 8-10 cases a match for about an hours worth of play which is actually like a full practice condensed into an hour.

I have played 10 man , 7 man, and xball in the NPPL and PSP and they all have their fun points. I really enjoyed 10 man but if you get shot out early, you sit and wait forever plus you might only get to step on the field 8 times in a tourney. At least with xball, you might be out there 20 or 30 times.
