ALL OFFICIALS NEED TO KNOW Official who throws flag (or anyone who sees a flag) should signal timeout when ball is dead. Get everyone’s attention with your whistle. Someone needs to hold the dead ball spot! Make sure the flag is at the spot of the foul With multiple flags, both officials should get together before going to the referee. Calling official should communicate with the referee and tell him EVERTHING. Referee repeat the foul and tell the calling official the penalty option. If you don’t agree discuss the options before preliminary signal. Referee gives preliminary signal. Umpire gets the captains for Referee.

EVERY OFFICIAL HAS A JOB. Umpire listens to (and verifies) Referee’s options and walks

EVERY OFFICIAL HAS A JOB. Umpire listens to (and verifies) Referee’s options and walks off the yardage if the penalty is accepted (suggest holding ball after enforcement until you verify the ball is at the correct yard line). Linesman should be at the enforcement spot ahead of the Umpire. If Umpire and Linesman are not in the same place, figure out why. Line Judge holds the spot of enforcement (basic spot or spot of foul). Back Judge/Side Judge does whatever else needs to be done. (Covering flag, retrieving new ball if needed, relaying information to a sideline, etc. )

To Enforce Penalties Properly, What You Need To Know: Team that fouled (Offense or Defense) What the foul was When the foul occurred Type of play The basic spot The spot of the foul.

Spot of Foul The place where the foul occurs. The penalty marker is used

Spot of Foul The place where the foul occurs. The penalty marker is used to mark this spot. This is the spot of enforcement for offensive fouls that occur behind the basic spot. For defensive fouls, this spot is insignificant.

5 POSSIBLE BASIC SPOTS The basic spot is determined by the action that occurred

5 POSSIBLE BASIC SPOTS The basic spot is determined by the action that occurred during the play.

5 Different Basic Spots 1) Basic spot is the previous spot for a loose-ball play 2) Basic spot is the previous spot for fouls that occur simultaneously with the snap. 3) Basic spot is the end of the run for a running play. 4) Basic spot is the succeeding spot for dead ball fouls, unsportsmanlike fouls (no matter when they occur), a non-player foul, and when the results of the play is a touchback. 5) Basic spot is the end of the kick for a PSK foul.

Types of Plays A Loose ball play is action that occurs: During a free

Types of Plays A Loose ball play is action that occurs: During a free kick or scrimmage kick (unless post- scrimmage kick enforcement is used). A LEGAL forward pass. A backward pass (including snap), an illegal kick, or fumble by team A that originates from in or behind the neutral zone prior to a change of possession. All runs that precede any of those actions listed above Note: Ball must become loose from in or behind the neutral zone for a play to be a possible loose-ball play. No need to bag a loose ball behind the line of scrimmage prior to a change of possession (for penalty enforcement). Running plays are plays that are not covered as a loose-ball play (or by Post Scrimmage Kick enforcement)

Previous Spot 2 -41 -7: The previous spot is where the ball was last

Previous Spot 2 -41 -7: The previous spot is where the ball was last snapped or free-kicked. This is the basic spot for a loose-ball play. This is also the basic spot for fouls that occur simultaneously with the snap.

Succeeding Spot 2 -41 -10: This is the spot where the ball would next

Succeeding Spot 2 -41 -10: This is the spot where the ball would next be snapped had a foul not occurred. This is the enforcement spot for dead ball fouls, all unsportsmanlike conduct fouls, and non-player fouls. Includes fouls that occur before the snap like: False Start and Encroachment

End of the Run 2 -41 -9: The spot where a run ends is

End of the Run 2 -41 -9: The spot where a run ends is where a runner loses player possession if his run is followed by a loose ball or where the ball becomes dead in his possession. This is the basic spot for a running play. The spot of the catch or recovery if the momentum rule is in effect. This is why we bag fumbles or backward passes that occur beyond the line of scrimmage.

Post Scrimmage Kick Spot 2 -41 -6: This is the spot where a scrimmage

Post Scrimmage Kick Spot 2 -41 -6: This is the spot where a scrimmage kick ends. 2 -24 -2: When does a kick end? This is the basic spot for post scrimmage kick (PSK) fouls

Enforcement Spot 2 -41 -2: The spot from which a penalty will be enforced. This will be EITHER the basic spot or the spot of the foul (unless covered by special enforcement).

All But One Principle Fouls are enforced from the basic spot. The only exception

All But One Principle Fouls are enforced from the basic spot. The only exception under the “all but one” is a foul by the offense that occurs behind the basic spot. These fouls are enforced from the spot of the foul. PSK fouls behind the basic spot are enforced from the spot of the foul.

Types of Fouls 2 -16 -2 Dead ball fouls-Fouls that occur after a down

Types of Fouls 2 -16 -2 Dead ball fouls-Fouls that occur after a down has ended and before the ball is next snapped or free-kicked. Once the ball is dead, any foul committed by either team is a dead ball foul. Live ball – A foul that occurs during the down (that is not unsportsmanlike conduct or non-player). 2 -16 -2 D Multiple – two or more fouls by the SAME team (other than unsportsmanlike or non-player fouls). Offended team may choose ONE of the penalties to enforce. 2 -16 -2 E Non-player or unsportsmanlike – a NON-CONTACT foul while the ball is dead or DURING the down which is not illegal participation and does not influence the play in progress. Double Fouls- one or more live ball fouls (other than NP or USC) committed by each team at such a time as the penalties offset. 2 -16 -2 B

Double Fouls 2 -16 -2 B If both teams commit fouls, it is a

Double Fouls 2 -16 -2 B If both teams commit fouls, it is a double foul if: There is no change of possession during the down (excludes PSK fouls). 10 -2 -1 A There IS a change of possession, and the team in final possession fouled PRIOR to gaining final possession (excludes PSK fouls). Team did not get ball with “clean hands”. 10 -2 -1 B There IS a change of possession during the down, and the team in final possession accepts the penalty for its opponent’s foul. 10 -2 -1 C

Fouls by opponents that are not double fouls Review 10 -2 -3 in reference

Fouls by opponents that are not double fouls Review 10 -2 -3 in reference to 3 -3 -3 It is NOT a double-foul if both teams foul (AND) there is a change of possession (AND) the team in final possession fouls after gaining final possession. The team in final possession may keep the ball but they must decline their opponents foul and have their foul enforced. (Often referred to as “Clean Hands”) 10 -2 -2 A&B Unsportsmanlike fouls, non-player fouls, and dead ball fouls are not paired with live-ball fouls to create double fouls. Do not “offset” these. 102 -4 & 5

Dead ball and Unsportsmanlike Conduct Fouls 10 -2 -5 Always enforced from succeeding spot.

Dead ball and Unsportsmanlike Conduct Fouls 10 -2 -5 Always enforced from succeeding spot. Double and Multiple dead ball, unsporting, or non- player fouls are enforced in the order of occurrence. The down counts. First down awarded if line-to-gain is reached before the ball became dead. Penalty is then enforced and then chains are set (No 1 st and 25). Unless the foul occurred after the ready for play and before the snap.

Personal Foul or Unsportsmanlike? Personal fouls are contact fouls. Two players fighting each other

Personal Foul or Unsportsmanlike? Personal fouls are contact fouls. Two players fighting each other are charged with personal fouls, not unsportsmanlike fouls. Both players are STILL ejected but it isn’t classified as UC. Unsportsmanlike fouls are NON-CONTACT fouls. Two unsportsmanlike fouls and a player is ejected. Players CAN be ejected after the first unsportsmanlike.
