Tough call on the HL and box operator.
Normally the down box and chains operate opposite the press box side of the field.
In your case I would suggest placing the box and chains on the sideline opposite the two teams. At least they will be out of the way of the players, substitutes and coaches on that side.
The box-man can help with sideline control on his/her sideline.
Good luck with your league! We used to officiate a high school summer flag football league and its a great opportunity to sharpen pass coverage and forward progress.
Just a quick question: does your league have 15 yards for a first down? I think thats how the adult flag football league over here does it. Their players officiate themselves and I'm not sure what set of rules they follow.
Funny incident a few years ago when the municipal employees brought the equipment to the stadium for the Hula Bowl, they brought the flag football chains which are 15 yards long. Luckily we had a 10 yard set in the officials' locker-room to switch before ESPN caught our gaffe.
