Offside Rule:[/SIZE]SIMDOG wrote:]The offside rule is such that any person wishing to claim "shotgun" that they be a distance equal to or greater than the driver to his/her car. If a person is to call "shotgun" and they are closer to the car than its driver then it is not a valid call.

nice rule..

Why the hell didn't I know about that rule 8 years ago?!?!?!?!?! 
Brilliant!  (guess I'm just not a soccer fan)
We always used to (still do) play by the line-of-sight rule, regardless. This was brought in to supplement the outdoors rule, to curb one "shotgun gaper" in particular.
It was spectacularly effective, as the prime gaper (Cam) was only willing to do the Five Metre burst-sprint to get out a door for the "Shotgun Call", and not the 50-200m run to get line of sight.
Naturally, someone has to hear the call, and driver has final say in all circumstances. On long trips, if people aren't mature enough to share the sweet-sweet legroom upfront around fairly, they can just fuck off. 
As John Lennon once sang: . . . (you'd) Better recognise your brothers. . . . Everyone you meet.
oh - p.s.
a) Second-place call is "Not behind driver"
b) Third -place call is "Not in the middle"
c) Last - place call is "Damn!"
(note: "not-behind driver" is an automatic "Not in the middle" call)
