We walk them off with the HL (5-man crews) mirroring the walkoff. The LJ holds the spot of enforcement. Before I place the ball down, I confirm with the HL that we are at the right yard line, look back to the LJ to insure we are the proper distance displaced and place the ball. Not all of our fields have the optional marking for every yard, but I will use those if they are available.

Another question is how many crews tape the halfway point of the chains so you can determine if a 5 yard penalty would result in a first down by yardage before walking it off?
