Illegal Participation

[eprov]

I work in Mass and its our boards mechs we use counting by R & U Off, Wings and BJ Def. Its a carry over from our ECAC college officials on our board. We use it into the Pop Warner level as well. Fist, got 11, hands to shoulders for 10. Then we just make sure we have 7 on the LOS. As a Ref, I review our mechs for counting in my pre-game as do all our Ref's don't let the play go off with 12. Again if someone runs onto the field after the fact at the snap, we got IP.

At the PW level I(we) will hold up the play after confirming got 10 and say count-m-up if they got 12. When we get into PW playoffs all bets are off. Better teams reach this level and coaches usually know better by the end of the season.
