Counting players

[SWFLguy]

funny that this topic came up here---
at our last meeting down here in SW FL--the officials voted
to use the Federation mechanics of having the umpire and
Referee count the offense.
When I first came here four years ago I was taken back a bit
by them using a mechanic where Umpire and Back Judge
counted the defense !
I came from CNY where for 32 years it was the Federation mechanics.
It was hard for me to change- but I complied with our local
association's wishes.
I'm glad they changed to the one that is certainly easier for the U !!
Especially when the Offense uses the "coir boy" huddle-
I'm able to tell my white hat right away---
"we got 11" !
