Uneven Teams

By commishMon, 06/29/2009 - 4:45pm

In the event that teams have unequal numbers the following rules apply:

  • The team with the extra player must have one extra (completely ineligible) lineman on all offensive plays. This player can not receive any pass ever.
  • The team with the extra player must send in enough extra blitzers so as to expose the exact number of defenders against the exact number of eligible receivers (five, maximum).
  • The quarterback on the team with the extra player must wait before the defense crosses the line to run downfield.
  • If teams are either four vs. five or five vs. six, the quarterback on the team with the extra player cannot ever cross the line of scrimmage.
