These rules all look good to me. But can we change *You are past your own 40 yard line with 1 yard or less to go.* to *You are past your own 40 yard line with
3 yards or less to go.*
I end up trying at least a couple 4th downs every game, but they would all adhere to your rules above (which are good). The only one is the first one. If I'm on my own 45, 4th and 3 or less I will usually go for it.
It's not to be a cheapskate but it's more my style of play. Often if Im 3rd and 10 Ill purposely try to complete like an 8 yard pass, cuz Im confident I can get the last 2 yards on 4th.
Anyways no big deal either way, wont have a big affect on my game.
