Even though I really feel we all should do it one way, I don't have problem with anyones way of doing any specific mechanic.

So, given WI either does the real coin toss at -15 or -20 minutes, is there then a "simulated" toss just before kickoff?

No simulated toss. We do the toss at midfield 15-20 minutes before kickoff.

I do the toss with about four minutes to go in pre-game with captains and both head coaches present. Captains are introduced to one another as well as the coaches. I introduce myself and the umpire.

I then explain that so and so is the visiting team and they will call the toss. I then display the coin, ask the captain what he wants, heads or tells? I will then repeat it loud enough that the group at the toss hears it. I tell them if I drop it, I will re-flip. I have never dropped one, if I do tomorrow night, I will blast this thread!!!!

then of course give my choices to the winner.

Where do you live? Does your state require the head coaches to be at the coin flip?
