Mechanics Notes:

1. Referee- If you are looking at the back of a holder on a PAT or field goal then you are on the wrong side.
2. Stay home during live ball time and out of the middle  during dead ball time unless you are needed.  Too much conversation leads to too much confusion.
3. LOS and deep side officials stay off of the field during live ball time.  Deep sides according in after ball is dead.
4. The entire crew holds the next down signal until the R drops his arms to his side.
5. Officials with forward progress- Hold your spot until the U has the ball  ON THE GROUND.
6. Caution- be careful in your attempt to be preventive not to verbally distracting when the snap is imminent.
7. The 40 second clock is always set back to 40 anytime the DEFENSE causes the game clock to stop EXCEPT when they call a time out.
8. Kick off positions- R always on goal line.  LOS officials also unless no receivers within the 10 yard line. LOS stay behind the receivers( on side excluded here)
9. Good “stop” and “start” the clock signals
10. Your attention belongs to the crew!  Professional at ALL times.
