We`ve got an early game this week, what`s the rule on how many
team members have to be there to start a game? I`m worried
some of my guys are going to be late and hung over.
Thanks,
Drunk Coach

;	Your piers all took a vote and commanded that you can start with 6. You must be aware that implementing this rule takes away the grace period. Meaning you don`t have any grace period. And most people forget that if you don`t have 8 players at the start of the game you lose your option to possess the ball on the coin toss. Meaning there is really no need to have the coin toss, because the team that does not have 8 players kicks off the beginning of the game and the start of the second half. Give me a call if you have questions/concerns. Thanks! Rob

;	There used to be a grace period in place that the game clock would run while waiting for your 7th player to show up in order to avoid simply forfeiting a game. But with the new rule voted in that you can PLAY with 6 that eliminates the grace period. If you need further explanation just give me a call. 703/371-4952 Rob
