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.
