actions pertaining to scrimmage line prior to or at
snap. Keys on closest setback on his side of the
field. On pass plays, Linesman is responsible to clear
his receiver approximately seven yards downfield as he
moves to a point five yards beyond the line.
Linesman's secondary responsibility is to rule on any
illegal action taken by defenders on any delay
receiver moving downfield. Has full responsibility for
ruling on sideline plays on his side, e.g., pass
receiver or runner in or out of bounds. Together with
Referee, Linesman is responsible for keeping track of
number of downs and is in charge of mechanics of his
chain crew in connection with its duties.
Linesman must be prepared to assist in determining
forward progress by a runner on play directed toward

signal Referee or Umpire what forward point ball has
reached. Linesman is also responsible to rule on
legality of action involving any receiver who
approaches his side zone. He is to call pass
interference when the infraction occurs and is to rule
on legality of blockers and defenders on plays
involving ball carriers, whether it is entirely a
running play, a combination pass and run, or a play
involving a kick.
