Officiating 8 man football

[Welpe]

For your consideration, you may want to look at the Texas 6-man football rules as well. Since Texas plays under NCAA rules, the changes you would need to make would be minimal.

Whoa, I just read those rule modifications, and while it's not a game I want to officiate, it's certainly a game I want to watch.

It's a fun game to work.

Interesting seeing how they've retained some of the original 6-man rules from the 1930s, while Fed has retained others. Notably, UIL has substituted a mere "exchange" requirement for the clear pass, and made forward passes hitting the ground dead, regardless of where that occurs, while Fed has disposed of the 6-man goal dimensions & 4-point score IIRC.

8-player football here in Wisconsin is getting more popular.

They are using the narrower field, but staying on a 100-yard field so they can use existing fields / goalposts, etc.

You want a back judge on these games, trust me.
