  • The BEYFL recognizes the need to maintain the weight limit over the course of the season. A mid-season weigh- ins (Game 5) and a weigh in at the start of the playoff games will be required to verify all players are within the weight limit.
     

  • Weigh-ins for bubbled players, mid-season, and playoff games will occur by at least halftime of the previous game.
     

  • If the teams agree to play a 5th Quarter game, it will take place prior to the start of the 11 and 12-year-old game and concurrently with the 9 and 10-year-old 5th Quarter game; the officiating will be done by team coaches.
     

  • Players that are over the league maximum at the initial weigh-in will remain on the roster. That player can be re- weighed by (2) executive board members prior to each week until eligible. If said player would weigh in underweight maximum, that player must maintain weight throughout the season per the weigh in by laws.
