DELAND, Fla. – A visit from the officials was welcomed for a change at Daytona Beach Thunder practice Wednesday.

Three World Indoor Football League officials helped the Thunder become more familiar with the rules of the new indoor football league. At the conclusion of practice, the team got a 15 minute conference with the head official to discuss and questions with new rules and regulations in the league. 

The officials were very understanding of the players' confusion with the unfamiliar rulebook. They emphasized that in the first few games they will be lenient with the rules and will only throw a flag if absolutely necessary.

The Thunder’s quarterback situation is still in the air after Neal Sharma and Bo Bartik both continued to play well. "It is going to come down to a game time decision, and it is likely that we alternate throughout the game," head coach Leon Bright said. . “We are starting to make plays now, our QB's are making big passes and our receivers are catching them .. We just aren't sure if these players are practice stars or can really perform on Sundays."

RB Willie Neilly hyperextended his knee on a run early in practice.
