It is interesting everyone's take on 1-3-2 and 1-3-3. In the local associations on Long Island and when I worked in California ball replacement has never been allowed. The ball you start on first down must complete the series and that is not the model of ball but the specific ball.

I would love to have the ability to replace balls during a series if we got a long incompletion rather than chase the ball to the parking lot. I am going to propose this to our interpreter.

BTW. On wet days teams can rotate balls at their leisure as per 1-3-3.

I also officiate in New York State. We have always had the ball boys bring in a ball on a long incomplete pass rather than have our BJ or wingman spend time chasing a ball bouncing out of bounds.

I have officiated in four states and have never run a cross such an intepretation as yours.

So far you are not only the Lone Ranger in my experience, but on this site as well.
