Some administrative rules allow leagues to stipulate in their regulations what course of action
is to be followed.
The following table lists those Rules, plus the regulations most recently notified to us by the relevant league:
| Rule no. |

Where league regulations mandate the use of balls of a particular manufacture, and
more than three legal balls are presented to the referee, the referee shall only select
balls of another manufacture if there are fewer than three balls of the mandated
manufacture. |
No mandated ball |
The official league ball is the Wilson
F1000 (The "NFL Ball"). We believe the NFLEL ball is also the F1000.
If the balls provided by the Home team do not meet the requirements of the
Game Rules, the away team will be shown the balls and given the opportunity
to provide balls that do conform if they can. This infringement shall be
reported by the Referee to the League.
|
as BAFL |
For the 2007/08 Season and subsequent Seasons the Official League Football, which all
Teams must use, will be as prescribed by the League Management Board, e.g. the Wilson
BAFA F1100. No other brand of football shall be used in League play.
