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.
