some last minute questions some of the coaches have been asking.

1. defensive ends can stand up. they must be on outside shoulder of tight end or the tackle in an unbalance. in 11u and 12u only offensive ends/defensive ends can be an orange sticker. if tight end has orange sticker the tight end is not eligibile for a pass so the tight end is for blocking purpose only (if orange stickered).
offensive linemen must be in a 2,3 or 4 point stance (tackle to tackle) and defensive linemen (tackle to tackle) must be in a 3 or 4 point stance.

2. can use your own ball if you wish.

3. please do not run up the score on any team. the max points you can get in tie breakers is 25 pts (IF IN POOL PLAY FORMAT).
