  2. 2009 Rule ChangesGame Equipment • Field Markings (Rule 1-2-3b NOTE 2) – All required field markings must be clearly visible. If the field of play has a logo in the center or at any other part of the field of play, that logo should not distract from the visibility of the required marks every five yards. • Stripes on Ball (Rule 1-3-1c) – Stripes located on the football must be adjacent to and perpendicular to the seam upon which the laces are stitched.

Team A is still required to have at least 4 players numbered 50-79 on its line of scrimmage. • On fourth down or during a kick try, when Team A sets or shifts into a scrimmage-kick formation the numbering exception applies to all A players on its line of scrimmage.

  4. 2009 Rule ChangesMandatory Warm-up Period • Warm-up Period (Table 3-1) – The mandatory three-minute warm-up period begins immediately following the conclusion of the halftime intermission.

Now the scoring team, in most situations, has the option of enforcing the penalty on the subsequent kickoff.

  7. 2009 Rule ChangesScoring Play Enforcements • Dead-ball fouls between scoring play and try (8-2-4) – If after a touchdown-scoring play and prior to the initial ready-for-play signal on the try, either team commits any foul for which the basic spot is the succeeding spot, the offended team may choose to have the penalty enforced on the succeeding spot OR on the subsequent kickoff.
