According to the NF rulebook, it takes 18.7 pounds per square inch of pressure on a player to mandate a foul call. Of course, international rules are different because they are metric. In FEEBLE (FIBA), it's 9.56 kilos per cubic hectare.

That's why we all bring our pressure gauges to games. Fox makes a really good one.

If you forget to bring your gauge, just rely on the howler monkeys to let you know when there should be a foul.

The alternative method is to just call all contact against the visitors. That way, you'll get a lot of games in the home gym.
