I umpired for the first time Monday night in an 8th-grade game (3-man) and had to go back into the end zone on a pass to that side in the corner. Kid caught the ball in the end zone right in front of me, I had to signal TD, right?

In our area (NE Wisconsin), 7th grade and 8th grade games are typically the only 3-man crew (or the occasional Freshman game where the white hat goes to the wrong school ). Those are the only games in which I have signaled TD when Ump. Especially the plays to the opposite side of the linesman. Everything else I leave up to someone else.
