NFHS Rules

  1. R88 returns K’s FK to K’s 5YL and fumbles. The ball rolls into K’s EZ. No player of either team reacts to the ball lying on the ground in the EZ and the R waits a few seconds and blows his whistle. The R signals TD for the RT.

  2. A12 takes the snap. He rolls right and as he is being tackled; he hands the ball forward to A34 (running back) in the NZ. The LJ throws a flag and signals illegal forward handing.

  3. A81 is on the end of the line. A77 beside him already has his/her hand on the ground and is in a 3-point stance. A81 shifts back to a slot position. After A81 is set, A77 lifts his/her hand and shifts to the opposite side of the line. The LJ throw a flag for FST on A77 for lifting his hand after having it on the ground.

  4. K’s long FGA is airborne. R81 is stationed in R’s EZ and jumps and blocks the ball in flight as it starts to go over the cross bar. The BJ and U discuss this and signal a UNS on R81. The loose ball foul is enforced from the PS where the result is 1/10 for K.

  5. On a close 4th & 1 play with the game tied late in the 4Q, the runner is tackled & he then lays the FB ball on the field with its ends diagonal to the SL. The R signals for a measurement. The BJ rotates the ball for the measurement, so the ends are parallel to the SL. The measurement reveals a 1st down by just an inch. B’s HC argues that the ball should’ve never been rotated to the long axis for the measurement.

  6. K’s FGA is partially blocked behind the NZ, then goes beyond the NZ and then is muffed by R30. K picks up the ball beyond the NZ.

  7. During a FGA, The ball is snapped to holder K12. Without rising from his knee, he flips the ball back to K10 who throws a forward pass to K81 for a TD. The TD stands.

OHSAA Mechanics

  1. After a play, two opposing players get in each other’s face and start yelling at each other and bumping chests. The HL gets between them to stop them. In the locker room later, the R tells the HL to never get between players and to just blow your whistle.

  2. I’ve watched 4 out of 6 CT’s this year where the R has tossed the coin and let it fall to the ground.

OHSAA Regulations

  1. During a varsity game the PC operator has made 3 mistakes with the PC. On the 4th time the R signals the PC to be turned off and it will be kept on the field by the BJ. The league commissioner is present at the game and demands that the R turn the PC back on.
