Stanford/Cal RA Reversal

It has nothing to do with the NF because there are no such rules or procedures in place.

Minnesota instituted the arc rule this year in high school. Working mostly in smaller schools, we generally have two officials. It is a tough call sometimes but we do the best we can.
