2017 OVC Officials Clinic Replay Officials, Replay Communicators and Referees Breakout Session

School Overviews • Camera Positons • Discuss how to handle differences from stadium to stadium • Review schools and what we know so far • Replay Box Issues • Privacy • Speaker / Ability to Hear Announcements

Crew Pre-game • Referee’s give RO about 15 minutes in pregame to review items • RO not here to officiate from the booth • Here to confirm & help if there is an issue • RO’s goal in a stoppage • Look at all helpful shots • Rule as quickly as possible • Don’t be upset with stands (don’t want to waste time to confirm if stands is apparent immediately • Review Red Hat proceedure • Scores • Turnovers

On Field Items Prior to Game and at Halftime • RO check pagers at 60 minutes, when crew arrives on the field • Referee check field headsets and field phone w/RO after pager check. RO communicate any system issues with Referee at that time. • RO check pagers again at 1 minute, prior to crew breaking to positons • Halftime: RO check pagers again at 1 minute, prior to crew breaking to positons

Replay Proceedures after R Announcement RO hits button and Communicator says “Replay/Replay” on comm • Referee (at head sets): • • • Confirm that RO can hear you Have back to press box & clear of bench (don’t joke with BJ) Confirm with RO what was called on the field RO let Referee know what you are looking at R be quit and listen (RO to keep mic open so R can hear discussion) Answer any questions RO may have • RO confirm decision of Confirm/Stands/Overturn • RO tell R what to announce regarding replay, including: • Down / Distance / Ball Positon / Clock / Snap or Ready • R repeat back and then make announcement

System Issues • If system goes down • RC will communicate down through the comm that the system is not operational (for crew knowledge only) • If system does not come back up, RC will communicate to the crew via the comm system and the coaches will be notified thru the wing officials • If system comes back up, we will communicate this to the coaches via the wing officials • We will not make an announcement by the Referee

Use of Communication System • RC will listen to crews comments, especially during penalties and other crew discussions • RC can help with items like • • • Spots #’s on PF, UNS & fouls Clock help Touching 10 second runoff • RC will announce over comm when replay is happening • May be able to help on scores & turnovers as well • Along with On Field Assistant

Targeting • All targeting fouls will be reviewed by RO • Referee needs to clearly announce the information and communicate the same info with the RO • RO will try and confirm if at all possible • RO may create a targeting foul in instances where a foul is not called by the official on the field

Post Game Review • Look at all replays • Look at LNR’s (RO & RC to communicate play numbers to crew) • Look at other plays of interest

Command Center • What OVC Office, Matt and I get on game day • Initial page when crew goes to replay, telling us what is being reviewed • A second page at the end of replay that tells us what the RO/RC did and if the play was Confirmed / Stands / Reversed • About 5 minutes later, we will get video feeds emailed to us on everything you looked at in the booth • All replays • Key plays that are marked

In Closing • Big undertaking for the conference and for the schools • Will be glitches • Keep track of anything you would like to see differently as you progress through the season and email them to me. I am going to compile a list. • Don’t be scared to make a decision. R and RO will get a lot of questions about how to do something. • ”Development Process”
