Don't just toss it anytime you feel like it! The bag is a tool to help you, know when to use it.

here are some examples, memorize them. Other situations can be found the in officials manual:
(a) mark the spot of first touching on free kicks and scrimmage kicks.
(b) mark the spot where momentum carries a player into the endzone.
(c) bag the OOB spot if you have to follow players into the OOB area.
(d) bag the spot where a srimmage kick ends for PSK purposes.
(e) bag the spot where the runner is if an IW occurs
(f) bag a fumble or spot of a backward pass when these occur beyond the line. These could be an enforcement spot.
(g) bag spot where an A or K player goes OOB on his own.
(h) bag forward progress spot if you have to assist other officials in breaking up late action.

DO NOT bag muffed snaps!

THanks, that was what I was looking for, some direction with it.

As it isn't normally used up here, there isn't any documentation outlining it's use. Thanks for posting this.

I tried searching the site through google, but I found that really annoying. BTW Mike, that's where I found ur post on the beanbag, I really have a horrible memory
