Neutral Zone , Lines of Scrimmage

Neutral Zone (2-28) 10 yard separation between R and K on free kick “Width of the ball” and across the field during a

scrimmage down

Lines of Scrimmage (2-25) Vertical planes on either side of the neutral zone

during a scrimmage down You are “on the line” essentially if you are within one

yard of the line of scrimmage

Page 7: 1 Contra Costa Football Officials Association New Officials Training Session No. 2 Basic Definitions / The Anatomy of a Play / Working with the Chains.

July 9, 2011 Anatomy of a Play 7

Dead Ball, Live Ball Dead Ball (2-1-1)

A ball not in play; essentially the interval between downs

Seldom does the official’s whistle kill the ball – it is already dead by rule when the whistle blows

No live ball foul causes the ball to become dead

Live ball (2-1-2) A ball that is in play Becomes live when it is legally snapped Becomes live moment it is legally kicked on a kickoff

Page 8: 1 Contra Costa Football Officials Association New Officials Training Session No. 2 Basic Definitions / The Anatomy of a Play / Working with the Chains.

July 9, 2011 Anatomy of a Play 8

Catch, Recovery, Touching

Catch (2-4) Gaining possession of a live ball in flight and First contacting the ground in bounds while maintaining

possession of the ball Recovery (2-36)

Gaining possession of a live ball after it strikes the ground and First contacting the ground in bounds while maintaining

possession of the ball Touching (2-44)

Any contact with a live ball Either touching it or being touched by it Touching always precedes possession

Page 9: 1 Contra Costa Football Officials Association New Officials Training Session No. 2 Basic Definitions / The Anatomy of a Play / Working with the Chains.

Fumble, Muff

Fumble (2-18) Loss of Player Possession other than by handing,

passing or a legal kick

Scrimmage Kick, Free Kick Scrimmage Kick (2-24-4)

Legal Kick from in or behind the neutral zone Can be place kick, punt or drop kick

Free Kick (2-24-3) A “Kickoff” putting ball in play:

• To start the half

• After a score (TD, FG, Safety)

• After a fair catch (don’t worry about that)

Must be a place kick or drop kick (for kickoff after a safety may be a punt)

“A kick is a kick” until a player secures possession (catch or recovery)

The Fundamentals of the Scrimmage Formation; Pre-

Snap Everyone Verify Correct Down

• Hand up until Ready for Play showing down• Move to other finger at RFP

Umpire Count Defense Every Down & Signal to Referee

• If 11 - Fist• If 10 – spread fingers; hands on chest• If 12 – count again; then penalty

Flanks Position yourself outside the sideline Mark Offensive Scrimmage Line “my foot is the line” Widest Receiver – On or Off? / Signal to other flank

• If both off; count backfield – no more than 4

Page 18: 1 Contra Costa Football Officials Association New Officials Training Session No. 2 Basic Definitions / The Anatomy of a Play / Working with the Chains.

July 9, 2011 Anatomy of a Play 18

Encroachment

Rule After RFP no A or B player may be in neutral zone Immediate foul no “getting back” Youth and early in season – Use some judgment

Mechanic Throw flag, blow whistle, signal timeout, come down line to

report to Referee Primarily Flanks’ call; U has wrong perspective

Key = Snapper to your sideline Off & Def Signal & Subtleties

Throw flag up and slightly towards side of line of team that fouled

Page 19: 1 Contra Costa Football Officials Association New Officials Training Session No. 2 Basic Definitions / The Anatomy of a Play / Working with the Chains.

July 9, 2011 Anatomy of a Play 19

False Start

Rule Applies only to A After a player Is set he can make no motion simulating a snap A “down lineman” once down is “locked down”

Mechanic Throw flag, blow whistle, signal time out, come down line to

report to Referee Keys

Flanks (snapper to sideline, wideouts) U (Interior line, primarily snapper to opposite tackle)

Signal & Subtleties Flank - Throw flag up and slightly towards A side of line Umpire – Toss flag underhand to feet of player who fouled

Page 20: 1 Contra Costa Football Officials Association New Officials Training Session No. 2 Basic Definitions / The Anatomy of a Play / Working with the Chains.

July 9, 2011 Anatomy of a Play 20

Is it Encroachment or a False Start?

Come in to center to discuss with crew Must establish which happened first – that is

what it is

Page 21: 1 Contra Costa Football Officials Association New Officials Training Session No. 2 Basic Definitions / The Anatomy of a Play / Working with the Chains.

July 9, 2011 Anatomy of a Play 21

Getting Set, Shift, Motion

Rule: After RFP and after each shift at some point prior to the snap all

A players must be simultaneously motionless for 1 second Shift = two players moving at same time At snap only one player can be in motion and that motion must

not be forward Mechanic

NOT a foul until the snap Key

R, HL, LJ all can call illegal shift Illegal motion – HL, LJ take motion away from them NOT the umpire’s call

Subtlety Throw flag up, let play go and continue to officiate

Mechanics for First Down

Line Judge: Signal Time out (Twice) Point downfield “hand on chest” to indicate 1st down gained Shout “Close” if it is too close to call and Referee will come up to

line and make decision Referee will:

Decide to measure or not Give first down signal

Head Linesman Only after Referee signals should chains be moved Mark spot of back chain with foot – back stake is at front tip of

the ball Have clip attached to “the back of the closest line” Chains to be set 6 feet off sidelines
