Only answer this if you are as crazy as I am.
Q63 deals with the numbering requirement for offesive linemen. The question in part says "...it is illegal position or procedure unless the numbering excetion is being used." The rule is 7-2 art 5 on page 51. Under penalities for section 2 on page 52, Art 1,2 and 3 are named "Illegal procedure or illegal formations". Art 5 (the one in question 63) is named "illegal numbering". Making the foul an illegal numbering foul and the answer False. I know the rule, I just don't know how to answer the question. Any thoughts???? or do we care at all?

JW - I'm not sure if you were standing there on Tuesday evening when I discussed with Colonial V. He asked the same question and I had false because there was no mention of the words "illegal position" in the rules book. Frankly, I think the question is a joke. It's the same penalty yardage (5 yds. from prev spot) and the signal is the same (Illegal Procedure signal).
I answered it false only because of the wording. I also responded because I'm as crazy as you. After all, you did train me didn't you????

me too!
I answered false for the same reason. My entire crew disagreed with me and claimed a "misprint". I said you don't have "misprints" on a True/False test.

Taking the test closed book, I also answered true - illegal position, procedure, numbering, formation all amount to the same thing. People use the terms interchangeably. The writers of the NF exam shouldn't do that, but they do. As someone pointed out in a different thread, the trick is to figure out when they're TRYING to trip you up with wording, and when they just botched it themselves.
Frankly, I have never found the true/false format to be of any use in my own high school classroom. It'd be nice if the NF would get a couple of people in their office who (a) had some background in test-writing methods, and (b) knew how to proofread.
