Since it is game day, here is an easy one:

 

Which team calls the coin toss? What are the options of the team that wins the coin toss?

 

A) Visiting team(if neutral site, whichever team is designated as the ROAD team)

 

B) options of 1) to defeer the option and chose a side of the Field, 2) To chose to kick off to the opposing team, 3) chose to recieve the opening kick off. If Defered the opposing team has the option of Kick or Recieve then back to the team winning the Toss.

The visiting team calls the toss.

 

The options are kick, receive, defer, or end of field....that said the options you see used are receive or defer.

 

Hey footballref,

 

Two new "spins" on the game seem to be happening more across the state - in the last few years:

 

1. more teams are buying / using a "visible" 25 second clock.

 

2. more teams are actually flipping the coin with the head coaches - prior, to the captains' meeting on the field. The captains simply / still meet to review the flip / coaches choices.

We do have a few schools with 25 second clocks. They are nice until you do a middle school game and they want to run it, then the coaches complain because you aren't throwing the flag when it hits zero :) The are great for Friday nights.

 

I haven't seen the coin flip done as you describe, yet :)
