Otherwise, it would have never made it through the reveiw process intact.

Can the NFHS say "our rules say it is legal but you can't do it"?

Maybe they have only 17 - 20 players on their team and only 4 OL, etc.

Coach to one of the 17-20 players: "You are playing offensive tackle this week and wearing #63"
Now they have 5 offensive linemen.

So the school has enough money to buy jerseys for every member of the team but they cannot afford to have at least 5 of them be numbered 50-79? How exactly does that work?
Can you answer these questions?
1. Why are teams required to have at least 5 linemen numbered 50-79?
2. Why are teams allowed to have fewer than 5 when they line up to make a scrimmage kick?
3. Does the A-11 use the same numbering philosophy as the previous questions?
