Gentleman,
Just one comments on your postd. On question #77, you would only give the player a penatly if you feel he delibrately bended the cross to gain an advantage. For example, if Player A checks player B's cross and bends it with the check, then player A's coach could call for an equipment check of player B at the next stoppage. Because his cross is bent, if you apply the rule this way, then you would have to assess a penalty on player B. However, this is not how the rule is applied. If a player's equipment becomes illegal through the course of play, that player must leave the field and replace that equipment. If he fails to do so because he does not notice that his equipment has become illegal, officials can stop play to get it taken care of (if an injury could result from this illegal equipment.) If a player continues to play with illegal eqiupment and the officials are sure that the player is aware of this, then you can give him a penalty.
