A, 2/5 @ B’s 25 YL. After breaking the huddle A’s linemen come to the LOS and get set. B1 yells “shift red” and B’s linemen abruptly shift. A1 false starts as B’s linemen shift. The LJ informs the R it was B’s shift that caused A to false start. The R signals encroachment on B.
A1 is illegally in motion at the snap. A2 throws a legal forward pass that is intercepted by B1 who scores a TD. The R announces B has chosen to have the penalty enforced on the Try.

During the CT the HT speaker for the toss comes out without his game jersey or shoulder pads on and only wearing his football pants and a compression shirt. The R informs the HT HC all captains must be legally equipped for the CT.

During the first scrimmage down of the game the R notices the HT is using a drone over the field. The drone is not interfering with the game, however the R informs game management the drone is not permitted to be flown over the playing field during the game.
