Who makes the call?

It depends on many things on who has the best angle of forward or not. Some say backside wing, some say ballside wing, if it is not an immediate pass and wings go downfield - then maybe the referee. What we have decided is - no one signals, and if anyone thinks is is forward - blow it dead. This way, if no whistle, fumble, if whistle -back it up and sell it as forward. I think you cannot go wrong doing it this way cuz it covers all situations and doesn't make "cross signals and whistles" with the crew.

THis is pretty much how we do it, most of the time on passes the wings will go downfield, so the R will rule if it is forward or backward. If the pass is immediate then the wings can rule on the play. If someone signals INC then we had a foward pass, if no one blows their whistle then we had a backwards pass.
