Anyone seen these popping up on the sidelines, used to signal plays to the players on the field? Just a reminder, Rule 1-5-3(c)(2) includes as illegal equipment “Electroniccommunication devices used to communicate with a player except during an outside 9-yard mark conference (7- yard marks in nine-, eight- and six-player competition), including electronic signageto signal plays or information from the sideline.” Rule 9-8-1(e) makes it unsportsmanlike conduct to use “any illegal communication equipment as specified in 1-5-3(c)(2) …” The penalty for using the equipment is 15 yds. and, of course, you have to stop using the equipment. These are common at the college level. Anyone see them being used in our game?
