Yup.

We use to have an NAFL team in my area and I was a Referee. The NAFL uses NFL rules, and the NFL as we all know has challenges.

The NAFL approach to challenges was to allow a coach to keep a rule book with him and if there was a misapplication of a rule, I had to meet him at the sideline and the onus was on him to show the error of the crew. I would then interpret and make a final ruling.
