Go to the National Federation website and order a Rulebook, Casebook and Simplified & Illustrated Rulebook. You are asking so many basic rules and do not know the other factests to the rules you will just get confused by what we say or get the rule wrong not realizing other rules.

I think you need to start there and then ask us questions. Nothing wrong with questions but I am afraid your lack of knowledge you do not understand the answers we are giving you.

Peace

lets not confuse ourselfs. I've already learned a lot here in my short time. I'm understanding the well-explained answers. May be my question wasn't clear enough. I understand eligibilty of receivers. I'm wanting to know if you have to have a body part physically touching the line to be considered "on the line". I'm borrowing a rule book by the way and will read it cover to cover and ask more questions after that. I've got out on the playing field a couple times and reffed and learned loads out there. I'm just soaking up knowledge anyway I can in the mean time.

If you read the rulebook cover to cover, then you would know what the definition of being on the line of scrimmage is as there is no such reference to touching the line. And if you are having a hard time visualizing the words, that is why you get the Simplified and Illustrated book so you can physically see examples of what the rules are saying and what they mean. And your questions are so elementary that something must not be sinking in yet if these are the nature of the questions you are asking. We have all been there and which is why these other tools I am suggesting might help you in the long run.

Peace

I have not yet read the rule book. Would you like to direct me to the simplified and illustrated book on nfhs website. I can't seem to find it. Thank You.

National Federation of State High School Associations - Football

And I would recommend the Rules by Topic book as the information puts the Rules and Casebook plays together. Good resource.

Peace

check with your local officials association. If you are just interested they might be able to get you some books from last year. If you are a registered official, part of your registration should get you your books. Talk to another FB official, they should have some old books to get you started. Local FB coach too.

unfortunately I didn't register this year. I didn't realize registering would get me books. I guess next year I'll have a couple sets.

So I'm getting the Rules by Topic book and the simplified and illustrated book. Shipping is $10 so is there another book I should throw in? If I want to order something later I'll have to pay shipping again. Might as well do it right the first time.

You happen to know about the numbers on the clip, but you have no idea how the chains work?
These questions about the LOS are questions my wife could answer, and she's never played or officiated.
You claim you are a new official, but you are not registered? C'mon, dude!

What happened to the coin toss thread you posted last week?
I'm learning. I've been making a lot of threads - so I deleted the coin toss one. Hopefully keeping the board clear of better discussion
