Pardon my TOTAL ignorance but I am new here LOL:
I assume POI means point of infraction... And AP means alternating possession... But WTF is a "blarge"? ROFLMFAO!!!

In more detail, a "Blarge" is when one official calls a block on a play and the other official calls a charge. Both come up with a definite preliminary signal. Let the fun begin.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here. But if I come up with block, and my partner comes up with charge, we've got ourselves a blarge.

If you both made a call, and each of you thinks his call was undeniably right and you each wish to stick with it at all cost, then without a doubt you have a blarge. This is spelled out in the now famous case 4.19.8 Situation C, even though I could never have come to this conclusion by reading the rule book. But there is nothing in this case which says that a preliminary signal is binding in making this call.

The majority view was, as BITS suggests, that a prelim signal constitutes a call. You can't unring the bell.

Totally Wrong Adjective ...
It's the infamous 4.19.8 Situation C.

No, you've got yourself a conference where one of you two is going to be a grown up, defer the call, and get a single call because it can't really be both a block and a charge. You are absolutely NOT going to both insist your call is right and not back down. If a crew cant get together and get this right, that is just lame.

By the way, BITS, I presume you are speaking in the hypothetical that that is the way to actually get a blarge. I hope you will agree that in any crew you work that is not actually ever going to happen, despite its hypothetical possibility.

In NCAA women's you are correct. We get together and go with the primary officials call. In NFHS and NCAA men's it has to be a double foul. NFHS case 4.19.8 Situation C |
