  • coin toss

    This is something that I wasn't aware of....

    From the MVFC procedures:
    4.8.3 Coin Toss. The coin toss shall be administrated by officials with
    selected players from each team 20 minutes prior to the start of the
    game at a spot designated by the host; a ceremonial coin toss shall
    also be held 1 ½ minutes prior to the start of the game at mid-field.
    So that means that the coin toss on the field just before the game is just for show and doesn't determine anything. I never knew that.

    Yeah, the captains meet in the north end zone at the Dome as the teams leave the field to do the toss. I guess it allows the coaches a little extra prep time before they come back out, knowing who is kicking. Most people are too distracted by the band to notice the toss happening.

      I noticed it long ago, but it is kind of hidden back by the purple wall while the "pride of panther nation" is on the field....

        well now I feel like a dumbarse ;op

        In my defense, I've always sat towards the south end, and don't have that good of a view of the far north end. And at that point, I'm usually either watching the band or reading through the program.

              It's pretty much standard procedure in high school as well these days.
