Never actually heard of the A-11 but found this article somewhat interesting...as well as confusing.

Unless there is a rule change in UIL this year it is not legal in Texas yet.

It is legal in Texas as long as you line up 7 yards deep(scrimmage kick formation), have 7 men on the line of scrimmage, and only those not covered up on the line go down field.

It does look interesting.

It does look interesting.

The way I understand it, is that because of the jersey numbering system, anyone can be a receiver, as long as no one has lined up outside of him.  What it does is create confusion for defenses, because you never know which guys are going to be the eligible receivers until the last second.  A coach who can think on his feet will not have a problem, but traditionalists will have a cow, as this upsets the set play mentality that they have.  These "purists" usually have the 300 lb heifers on the D line, and good linebackers and safetys as well.  What the A-11 does is spread the field, as now you have 7 receivers to worry about, instead of 3-5.  This is a boon for teams that might not have size, but do have agility and speed.  Look for it to be killed, simply 'cause it's not real "fooseball" as we now understand it.

In Texas, if I am not mistaken, we play by NCAA rules and have to following their numbering rules for players.

you could run it in college until they change the rules for scrimmage kicks.
