Ok Derock, answer these questions from your youth ball perspective.
1. Team A INTENTIONALLY lines up with the following players all on the line of scrimmage (from left to right).
First Formation
T76 G65 C54 G66 T78 R83 R87
The QB lines up under center....
a. Is there anything illegal about the formation?
b. Who is eligible?
c. What is the call if an illegible is downfield and is first to touch the ball?
Posted by Derock
A. Looks legal to me.
B. T76 and R87 are eligible.
C. Inelligible receiver down field. 10-yards from previous spot, replay the down (YOUTH--NFHS may be a loss of down)
Second Formation:
T76 G65 C54 G66 T78 R83 R88 R89
The QB lines up 7 yards deep in a shotgun formation.
a. Is there anything illegal about the formation?
b. Who is eligible?
Posted by Derock
A. Formation looks legal to me.
B. T76 and R89 are eligible.
2. K kicks to R. While the ball is bouncing towards the R's goal line, it strikes R1 in the leg and continues on its own momentum into R's endzone. R1 recovers the ball in his own endzone. What is the call?

A kick that goes to the endzone in youth is extremely rare but I'll give it a shot. Touchback. R gets the ball on their 20 yard line.
3. 1/10 from A-20. A32 runs the ball 20 yards to the A-40. Several seconds after the ball is dead, A78 blocks and levels B99. Please assess the penalty and state down and distance.

I have a dead ball personal foul on A78. The enforcement spot is from the end of the run, 15-yard penalty, Team A has the ball 1/10 from B-45.
4. Same as #3 except A32 only runs the ball 2 yards to the A-22.
Posted by Derock
Team A has the ball 1/10 from A-37.
5. :05 left in the first half. 1/10 from the A-20. A32 runs the ball 4 yards and the clock expires during the down. During the run, A78 held B99 at the A-22. What are the options here?
Posted by Derock
The defense has the option of accepting the penalty and replaying or extending the half by one down OR they can decline the penalty and the half is over. If they accept the penalty it will be 1/18 (penalized from the spot of the foul) from the A-12.
How was that? Do I meet your approval as an official now? Can I now be an accepted member of this elite forum? Doesn't matter because I'll be on the field calling my games just like every other official here will be.
