Canadian Ruling
We have two ways to cover this:
(1) The player can switch numbers from a tackle (40-69) to a TE (1-39, 70-99). There is nothing in the rulebook to not allow this action.
(2) Any player may play any position wearing any number in Canadian football. If they're an eligible pass receiver and they're numbered 40-69, they just have to report to the WH, who will tell the defense. If they're an ineligible pass receiver and they're numbered 1-39 or 70-99, they also have to report to the WH, who will tell the defense. We even have some players who wear "their number" as an O-lineman (for example, #20) and we tell the opposing coach that he's reporting for the whole game.
Anyone here ever watch the CFL? (Besides you Julian?) Just curious.
