Some aspects of football are so basic, so elemental, that you forget that someone or several someones had to define rules we take for granted today. Such was the case for spotting dead balls.
Surely you mean "parallel", not "perpendicular", yes?
NFL Rule 7, Section 3, Article 3: "The ball shall be rotated so that its long axis is *parallel* to the sidelines before measuring while maintaining the forward most point."

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding your point.
Yes. Thank you. I have corrected the text to say "parallel" rather than "perpendicular."
