To show how quickly a team can be thrown together, with little to no preparation, or anything else.

The field is 46 yards long. I'm assuming they are gonna use a forty yard field with three yard endzones.

I remember many moons ago in pee wee football where one team was short players and they played without a left guard. There was a gentleman's agreement not to shoot that particular gap during the game.

Ok...at what point do we allow teams like this to exist? Team doesn't have a regulation field? A team doesn't have matching uniforms? Team plays outdoors on a turf covered surface over adjacent multiple tennis courts? Field only has one set of goalposts on the field? Team only has recent high school graduate players that could break in two after one hit? Team uses bed mattresses for dasher board protection? Field has a fire hydrant in the middle of the 25 yardline that is padded and sticks up from the ground like a bad zit? The lights don't work on the north of the field? The seating section consists of lawnchairs the fans must bring? A railroad track surrounds the field, with the game being stopped everytime some train that runs by and puts a smokey haze in the air 30 minutes after passing the field? The scoreboard consists of a 3 x5 foot poster board where some kid scribbles the score after each touchdown and fieldgoal which is usually wrong and can't be read? The sound system consists of a megaphone that some kid yells thru to announce who carried the ball on the play?

Where do we draw the line and say enough is enough? Some deadline has to be established before the schedule is created that identifies who has all of their ducks lined up and is ready to play. If your ducks aren't lined up you sit out the year and try again next year if you wish.

If you aren't going to quality control the league right (or at all, like the NIFL), why even have a league?
