• Each team will designate up to four players as Field Captains who confer with officials. A Captain's first choice of any offered decision is final. Decisions involving penalties will be made before any charged time-out is granted to either team.
• Players on each team must wear jerseys that are similarly colored and numbered Jersey's must not be the same color as the football or of the flags the team is wearing.
• All players must wear pants or shorts. The pants may not be the same or similar color as the football or a player's flags. Pants and shorts cannot have belt loops or pockets.
• Every player must wear shoes that completely cover the foot. Metal cleats, or those that, in the opinion of the umpire, are hazardous may not be worn.
• Players must wear a belt around their waist that includes "triple threat" that hang at the player's side and posterior side (3 flags). The flags must contrast with the player's pants and should, but don't have to, contrast the opposing teams' flags. Flags may not be looped around the inside of the belt before securing the belt. The flags shall be freely removable.
• Players may wear soft, pliable basketball or wrestling knee pads or soft pads specifically made for scrimmage pants; soft, single-layer, pliable elastic joint braces; stocking caps and other caps without hard bills and prescription or athletic safety eyeglasses. Eyeglasses must be secured with an eyeglass band. Tape, applied in fewer than four layers, may be used to support joints, such as wrists or fingers. Sunglasses are allowed, but plastic frames and lenses should be used.

A. Helmets.

B. Any kind of pads with hard components such as those for shoulder, hand, forearm or thigh, unless specifically authorized by the Head Referee.

D. Anything that, in the opinion of the Head Referee, would confuse, potentially harm or endanger other players or is rough or abrasive.

E. Watches, rings or other jewelry.

F. Any foreign slippery or sticky substances.

• Prior to the game, the Team Captain will verify that all his players are legally equipped. The Head Referee will determine any questions concerning equipment legality. Each player must properly wear the required equipment while the ball is in play. A player with missing or illegal equipment must correct the deficiency before further participation. An official's time-out may be declared to permit repair of equipment that becomes illegal or defective through use.
