Введение
Ежегодный турнир квотербеков NFL, созданный Challenge Group, LLC, был соревнованием квотербеков Национальной футбольной лиги, спонсируемым, в частности, DirecTV и организованным NFL Players Inc. и NFL QB Greats. Первый турнир квотербеков NFL состоялся в 1990 году на острове Кауаи. Ранее его спонсировала 989 Sports, а в 2005 году – Electronic Arts EA Sports. В каждом турнире квотербеков были разные испытания, проверяющие навыки каждого игрока, и каждому квотербеку начислялись очки. Квотербек, набравший наибольшее количество очков по итогам всех испытаний, становился победителем, а награды вручались и квотербеку, выигравшему каждое отдельное испытание. В программу соревнований входили следующие дисциплины:
The NFL's Quarterback Challenge , created by the Challenge Group, LLC, was an annual competition of National Football League quarterbacks, sponsored in part by DirecTV, produced by NFL Players Inc. and NFL QB Greats. The first NFL Quarterback Challenge took place in 1990 on the island of Kauai. Previously it was sponsored by 989 Sports and in 2005 by Electronic Arts EA Sports. Each of the quarterback challenges had different events that would test each quarterback's skills, with points being given to each quarterback. Whichever quarterback had the most points at the end of all the events, would win the challenge, with rewards also given to the quarterback who won each event. The events included the following:
Speed and Mobility :
Penalties for knocking over obstacles and missing targets
Bonus for hitting the bullseye or inner ring
Top two advance to the final round
QBC 7.61 seconds (Rick Mirer, 1995)
For this event, each quarterback would go run a slalom like course, where they would have to run around cones, past cardboard cutouts of defenders, and a jump over a small hurdle and throw a pass at a target. Depending on where the target was hit by the football, the quarterback would have fractions of a second deducted from their overall time, such as .5 seconds being deducted if the quarterback hits the bullseye, or .25 seconds if they hit the outer ring of the target. The fastest time, including the deductions, was the winner. Course outline:
1st Duck back right, run around the cone
2nd through ring
3rd run left
4th run right right
5th over hurdle
6th throw into ring; red = 0.5 bonus, white = 0.25 bonus, grey = 0.00
Accuracy:
30 seconds to complete the course, closer to bullseye = higher score. Highest possible score 84 points
QBC record Troy Aikman, 70 points (1995)
1st cart; 6, 8, 10 points over 3 balls, cart cutting diagonal right to left like a post route
Max score 30
2nd group; 6, 8, 10 points over 3 balls, cart cutting left to right like an in route
Max score 30
3rd group; 12,18 24 points over 1 ball, deep post about 40 yards
Max score 24
All cart movements are inverted opposite for lefty QBs
Long Distance: Each quarterback tries to throw a football as far as they can, with the quarterbacks with the top three distances getting a chance to try again. The quarterbacks also have to keep the balls in bounds, or their throws wouldn't count. The winner of the event was the quarterback with the longest pass. Better of 2 throws count
IF tie, 1 throw shoot out
2 points awarded every yard past 50 yards
QBC record Vinny Testaverde, 80 yards (1988)
Read & Recognition: Each quarterback throws a football at moving targets, but only the targets designated by a yellow flag, with each quarterback having four attempts. If tie, 1 throw shootout
Highest possible score: 192

В этом испытании каждый квотербек должен был пройти трассу, похожую на слалом, где ему нужно было обежать конусы, обойти картонные фигуры защитников и перепрыгнуть через небольшую преграду, после чего сделать пас в цель. В зависимости от того, в какую часть цели попадет мяч, у квотербека будут вычтены доли секунды из общего времени – например, 0,5 секунды за попадание в яблочко или 0,25 секунды за попадание во внешнее кольцо. Победителем становился игрок, показавший самое быстрое время с учетом вычетов. Схема трассы:
1-й: Уклониться вправо, обежать конус.
2-й: Пробежать через кольцо.
3-й: Бежать влево.
4-й: Бежать вправо-вправо.
5-й: Перепрыгнуть через преграду.
6-й: Бросить в кольцо; красный = 0,5 бонуса, белый = 0,25 бонуса, серый = 0,00.

В случае ничьей – один дополнительный бросок.
2 очка начисляются за каждый ярд, превышающий 50 ярдов.

QBC 7.61 seconds (Rick Mirer, 1995)
For this event, each quarterback would go run a slalom like course, where they would have to run around cones, past cardboard cutouts of defenders, and a jump over a small hurdle and throw a pass at a target. Depending on where the target was hit by the football, the quarterback would have fractions of a second deducted from their overall time, such as .5 seconds being deducted if the quarterback hits the bullseye, or .25 seconds if they hit the outer ring of the target. The fastest time, including the deductions, was the winner. Course outline:
1st Duck back right, run around the cone
2nd through ring
3rd run left
4th run right right
5th over hurdle
6th throw into ring; red = 0.5 bonus, white = 0.25 bonus, grey = 0.00
Accuracy:
30 seconds to complete the course, closer to bullseye = higher score. Highest possible score 84 points

The NFL's Quarterback Challenge , created by the Challenge Group, LLC, was an annual competition of National Football League quarterbacks, sponsored in part by DirecTV, produced by NFL Players Inc. and NFL QB Greats. The first NFL Quarterback Challenge took place in 1990 on the island of Kauai. Previously it was sponsored by 989 Sports and in 2005 by Electronic Arts EA Sports. Each of the quarterback challenges had different events that would test each quarterback's skills, with points being given to each quarterback. Whichever quarterback had the most points at the end of all the events, would win the challenge, with rewards also given to the quarterback who won each event. The events included the following:
Speed and Mobility :
Penalties for knocking over obstacles and missing targets
Bonus for hitting the bullseye or inner ring
Top two advance to the final round
