REFEREE |
| |
|
| |
General
oversight and control of game. Gives signals for all
fouls and is final authority for rule interpretations.
Takes a position in backfield 10 to 12 yards behind
line of scrimmage, favors right side (if quarterback
is right-handed passer). Determines legality of snap,
observes deep back(s) for legal motion. On running
play, observes quarterback during and after handoff,
remains with him until action has cleared away, then
proceeds downfield, checking on runner and contact
behind him. When runner is downed, Referee determines
forward progress from wing official and, if necessary,
adjusts final position of ball. On pass plays, drops
back as quarterback begins to fade back, picks up
legality of blocks by near linemen. Changes to
complete concentration on quarterback as defenders
approach. Primarily responsible to rule on possible
roughing action on passer and if ball becomes loose,
rules whether ball is free on a fumble or dead on an
incomplete pass. During kicking situations, Referee
has primary responsibility to rule on kicker's actions
and whether or not any subsequent contact by a
defender is legal. The Referee will announce on the
microphone when each period is ended. |
