That's for sure. I was just at one this weekend.
What a pain for the BJ and "appropriate" wing official when under the posts, make that behind the posts for trys and field goals.
The referee had a good laugh after one try. He said, he thought we went into the woods because he couldn't even see us.

Since this was a rare 5-man game in my area, the wing guys had a hell of a time trying to remember who should be under/behind the posts with me. The R kept forgetting to let one know who was to go even though we discussed the looking at the "rear-end" of the ref key.

We did move EZ pylons off the end-line as they are supposed to be. Running over one of those was the least of my worries if you know what I mean.
