Ask the captain, loudly, within earshot of the coach - and be looking at the coach. Solves this non-issue rather easily.

Or just eliminate the charade entirely. I even ask the coaches what they want if they win the toss. Yes, there I go through the ceremony, but I already know what the answer is going to be.

On that note, if one team wants to defer and the other wants to receive, can we just eliminate the toss entirely?

I've suggested that...we know which team is going to receive and which way the other team wants to kick before we collect the captains. We had like 5 in a row like this last year. We still went through the motions.

At least we got rid of the 2nd half ritual... Progress, no?

My crew didn't do that even before the official mechanic change (unless we had an exceptionally chippy first half and wanted to talk to them). When they come out at halftime we go to the coaches or captains to confirm the one team wants to receiver (never said no) and which direction the other team wants to kick (85% away from scoreboard).

Do you still ask the scored-against team their choice to kick or receive?

Did anyone ever actually *ask* that?
