But it did have an apparent lasting effect. In a scrimmage kick formation on downs 1 thru 3 the number required to wear 50-79 is reduced to 4, provided the snapper is one of those wearing 1-49 or 80-99. That's going to affect swinging gate formations. It may not be A-11, but 7-11.

A feeble and unsuccessful attempt of "making lemonade."

Could not help myself, had to go to the A-11 web site and found this note:

February 10, 2009 Dear Football Coaches, Rest assured the A-11 Offense is here to stay. There are too many demonstrated benefits for the teams wanting to use it (such as reducing injury rates). Please review the Position Paper Link on the A-11 Offense site for more details. Moving forward into the 2009 season and beyond, several options are under review for any team in America wanting to "retain the right" to use the A-11 Offense if they believe it will help their team, their league and/or their entire section compete in a more equitable fashion based on their circumstances. Our group will help lead the way for any team nationwide wanting to use the A-11 Offense in 2009 and the future. Thank you very much for all of the great ideas submitted to us by coaches throughout the country. Please check back at our web site for all related updates, and also the upcoming Blue Print enabling your team to use the A-11 Offense in 2009 and beyond.

Any word on how many attended the recent sessions?

Or simply use the formation, but put the proper numbers on the players. I think we all know that it wasn't the formations themselves that were the problem.

Knees is plural, not possessive.
