Boy this was stupid. I caused a "fire situation" on an extra point. We're running a JV game with 3-man mechanics. We don't use the recommended mechanics for 3-man, but rather we use a R and 2 wing officials to get coverage of the sidelines since the kids are faster.
K lines up for a PAT. The HL is on his own sideline. I'm lined up on to look at the post on the same side as the HL. The LJ also moves to that post and yells "Hey, Joe take the other post!" At that split second I moved over to the other post but in FRONT of the holder and as I was passing thru the plane the ball was snapped. The holder fumbled the ball and the kick was no good.
I look over to the sideline to see the coach of the kicking team (leading 56-6 - thank God) laughing out loud. I said "coach don't worry it won't happen in a varsity game." He was OK with letting the play stand.
Now I get to hear about it in front of 150+ people at our annual end-of-the-year banquet where we have a "blunders" section where you get called up in front of everyone and the MC tells everyone about your mistake where you get to turn read as a beet as he presents you with a surprise gift (probably a fire extinguisher for me) and a fox-40 whistle.
