Some I can think of off the top of my head in Jr. High leagues around here:
1) on a try, a successful kick is worth 2 points, and a "2-point conversion" is worth 1. (meant to encourage kicks, although on some fields they don't even have goalposts).
2) "no blitz" rule... only defensive linemen in a 3-point stance can rush until the ball is handed off to a running back. (as if, with 2 officials, we're going to be looking for this).
3) no rushing the punter
4) "overweight" rule... only players under ___ pounds can be backs and advance the ball; anyone over that weight must be a lineman. (Of course, they don't give us any way know who is overweight and who isn't).
5) flat-out ignoring the numbering rules for Team A.
