“In this case, the balls need to be inflated enough to be solid, and not so overinflated that they will be permenantly deformed, fail, or not be cushioned if someone falls on it. 12.5-13.5 PSI is really just the manufacturing standards of the bladder inside the football. “

1. The 12.5 to 13.5 psig IS a rule. Not a manufacturing standard.

2. Each ball is inflated to 100 psig prior to leaving factory inorder to permanently ‘deform’ the ball.

It’s a manufacturing standard forf the bladder inside the ball. I assume from the fuss it’s also a rule for game inflation. The contrast: It’s NOT a functional spec wherein it only acts like a football within those ranges.
