Each year to end the National Football League (NFL) season, Pro Bowl matches are played. Top players from the National Football Conference (NFC) play against the American Football Conference (AFC). This all star game is extremely popular ever since it first began on the 15th of January 1939 and is held in Hawaii. While Hawaii is the most preferred venue for the Pro Bowl matches, it has also been organized in Los Angeles in the first two that it began and in Miami in 2010. For the year 2011, Pro Bowl games were held in Honolulu, Hawaii. The games are held in the month of January.
Also called as the Pro All-Star Game, the players are selected for the matches based on voting. The voting is done on the official website of NFL and everybody from the coaches to the fans and even the players themselves get to vote. It is indeed a mark of honor for the football players to be a pro bowler and the players accepted for the Pro Bowl are extremely elite. When compared to the regular NFL games, the Pro Bowl has different rules, like offense cannot have three receivers on one side, no blitzing and restrictions on press coverage etc.
