Ok, here goes...
"Where was the Tournament?" In the state of Maryland.
"What's the name of your association?" Suburban Football Officials Association
"What's the all but one?" Not sure--I'll look it up when I find my rule book. If I don't know what this is after 7 years, its probably something that has little, if anything, to do with officiating a game.
"What's a loose ball play?" Is this a trick question? A live ball not in possession of a player?
"When does the clock start on a free-kick?" Clock starts when R touches the ball.
How did I do? Teach me, I don't know a football from a baseball.
Seriously fellas, I am a football official--believe it or not makes no difference to me. I am very good and well respected at what I do. You don't like my style of officiating--tough cookie--take a bite and swallow anyway. [/B][/QUOTE]

Derock; first you have to have a rule book. You might look into getting one. Very interesting reading indeed As far as the all but one, it doesnt surprise me that youd think itd be something that has little, if anything, to do with officiating a game. Well it just so happens to be the most important principal that all football officials use to enforce penalties. Any official who takes pride in his work and wants to get it right out there better know the all but one. And not just the White Hat. I feel all officials regardless of their position should have an understanding of how this works. This way we increases the odds of getting it right should a mistake occur in the White Hats deliberations. . Im not sure what kind of formula youd come up with to enforce penalties but Im sure its reflective of the seat-of-the-pants, Im-in-charge, change-the-rules stile of officiating you say you do.
BTW you failed in your attempt answers to these questions correctly .
