Team Captains

Each team has a team captain. The two captains will confer with each other and the Commissioner on controversial situations. If the two captains cannot agree on a course of action, the Commissioner will rule on the play.

Uneven Teams

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

• The team with the extra player will have a completely ineligible center 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 cannot move forward or cross the line of scrimmage until the defense does (i.e. after Four Mississippi, a blitz, or a muffed snap). The quarterback in this instance can only move laterally or backwards.
• 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 but can move forward.

The "X-Point" Play

At the end of the game if one team is losing by more than 8 points, that team is allowed a single "X-point play", either a final "Hail Mary" pass after their final fourth down (i.e. a "fifth down") or, assuming they have scored a touchdown on the final possession, an "X-point conversion" attempt. In either case, the "X-point play" is worth however many points it takes to tie the game.

Teams that are down by 8 points or less must try to win or tie the game the old fashioned way.

Spotting the Ball and Setting the Line of Scrimmage

The Line of Scrimmage can be set by players from either team. A standard yellow penalty flag is used to mark the current spot of the ball and the subsequent line of scrimmage.

Technically the defense is responsible for spotting the ball - this becomes important in two-minute drills or other 'hurry up' play. Not moving the flag to the new spot in a timely manner is a Delay of Game penalty.
