The correct answer is that teams with big rosters are not exempt from the rule of playing all players equally. Coaches need to plan accordingly and ensure that all players, regardless of skill level, get playing time.

All players should start on either offense or defense and then play as equally as possible throughout the game.

The explanation for the correct answer is that this year, team rosters and divisions are based on the grade of the players. Additionally, the league draft for creating team rosters still uses the player's date of birth, specifically their age as of 9/1/15.
