How do you "convert" a field that is 150 x 65 with our uprights to a field that is 120 x whatever with their uprights?

Here's what they did:
  1. narrow the sidelines on each side to create a 160'-wide field
  2. keep the field at 100 yards
    • the goal lines are at our 5 yard lines
    • the uprights then are only 5 yards deep in the EZ instead of 10
    • this only affects FGAs, where they do *not* move the LS back 5 yards for FGA
    • players need to be reminded that there is a padded wishbone support 5y in the EZ
How's their treatment of various balls touching the goals or their supports? Do they just use current NFL rules for that? Do they use pre-1974 NFL rules for that?

When scrimmaging close to their own EZ, does team A get to move the spot toward a sideline?
