Hi JasonTX,

We are also using NCAA rules (and mechanics), I have a seperate question for you (maybe for everyone).
In NCAA the rest of the team is not allowed to come in further that the 9 yard mark - due to pregame problems is the past (baseball equivalent of a bench-clearer) I believe...
Sometimes (in Germany) the captains come out with helmets in hand. There is no guidline for this, but if the rules worry about teams attacking each other at the coin toss, would it not be smart to have the captains leave the helmets on the sideline?
Do your captains bring their helmets? Do you guys in Texas have any guideline about this?
