But, how all that justifies the A-11 puzzles me.
For example, the A-11 is actually practiced in many youth football programs as they don't conform to the numbering rules for various reasons. Of course, they don't pass much. They don't usually kick that much. And, my pet peeve, they don't usually have "real" coaches.
Just give me a point why the A-11 is good for us officials?

Not sure of your intent here... but
Don't you mean, "what is good for the game?" It certainly isn't about
us.
