Be the Referee: 8-Player vs. 11-Player Football

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment – 8-Player vs. 11-Player Football - Listen
Do you know the two main differences between 8-player and 11-player football?
The name gives away one … 8-player is played with 3 less players.
The other difference is the field size. An 11-player field is 120 yards long and 53½ yards wide. An 8-player field in Michigan is the same length, but 40 yards wide, which moves the hash marks in as well.
But other than those two differences, the rules of football remain pretty much the same. At least five players on offense must be on the line of scrimmage at the snap, and each offensive player must be within 12 yards of the spot of the ball when snapped.
High school overtime rules are the same – each team gets four downs from the 10-yard line to score.
