(January 2018) A player cannot carry the ball until weighed or checked by the opposing coach. Ball carriers must have a “clean” helmet, ineligible ball carriers must have a prominent strip down the center of the helmet. An overweight offensive player may not receive the ball, but may recover a turnover. An overweight player may play at the end position on the offensive line or in the backfield, but may not advance the ball. A punter can be an ineligible ball carrier, but cannot advance the ball in the case of a fumble or muff, or advance the ball by pass or run. An overweight defensive player MAY intercept or recover a turnover by the offense and advance the ball. (8-16-17) All team members are subject to a mandatory weigh-in and ID check that must be completed 30 minutes prior to the scheduled game time. Either the host coach or the visiting coach can initiate the weigh-in/ID check process. The opposing coaches must present a numerical team roster to each other at this time. Players must line up with jerseys on and helmets in their possession; ID’s in hand and be presented to the opposing coach for selection to check weight. (November 2015) If a player is not present at the time of the official weigh- in they can be brought to the opposing coach for check in at any time prior to the start of the game. If the player arrives after captains have been called, he must wait to play until checked in at half time unless the opposing coach clears the player to play prior to half time.
