** Overweight Allowance (OWA)
As defined by the rules of the East Wake Football League:
The overweight allowance (OWA) is restricted as follows:

• A maximum of four (4) OWA players are allowed on the field per team at one time.
  
• Each OWA player shall bear a prominent FLOURESCENT GREEN stripe on their respective helmet. The FLOURESCENT GREEN stripe
  shall be prominent and visible from the sidelines.
• OWA players may only play in positions between the ends (defensively in the “C” gap) including the tackle position. In the event an offensive end is not present, the OWA may line up in an outside shade. OWA players may not carry the ball and in any instance where an OWA recovers a fumble or intercepts the ball, the play is immediately blown dead. OWA players may not play in the linebacker position and must be down (3 pt or 4 pt) on defense. OWA players may not play on either Kickoff or Kickoff Return teams.
