FUNNY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU READ THE RULES......
5.4 Passing
5.4.1 Eligible Receivers
5.4.1.1 A forward pass is the forward movement of the ball to an eligible receiver. Eligible receivers are tight ends, wide receivers, running backs and quarterbacks who are either lateral with or downfield from the quarterback at the time the pass is to be executed.
5.4.1.2 Eligible receivers are those who are numbered 1 - 49 and 80 - 89. Those who are numbered 50 - 79 and 90 - 99 are considered ineligible receivers, but may become eligible by notifying the referee and opposing coach and then lining the player up in an eligible position.
LIKE I STATED IF THE
FIGURE IS THE QUESTION THEN ADDRESS THE
FIGURE ISSUE BUT IT CLEARLY STATES IN THE RULES WHAT NUMBERS ARE ELGIBLE WITHOUT NOTIFYING THE REF AND OPPOSING COACH......
