Sadly I am the highest officiating authority in Rio and we work the ****ty NFL rules modified.
So, Rule 15 states that:
15-6 (Field Judge)-5:
(...) Field judge is also to use his whistle when, upon his positive knowledge, he knows:
(a) thst ball is dead;
(b) that time is out;
(c) that time is out at the end of a down, during which a foul was signaled by a marker, no whistle has sounded in such cases; and
(d) that even in the presence of a whistle up or down field, he is to sound his whistle when players are some distance from such signal. This will help prevent dead ball fouls.
It's the same for Side Judge and Back Judge
