What is the best way to handle the enforcement of dead ball fouls? Do you give all the options to the opposing captain or do you assume the penalty will be accepted? On the preliminary signal, do you give the dead ball signal?

This board shows that we do not know and understand the rules flawlessly, so if we don't, you know the kids won't. Help them "get it right" if needed. That is what a good R will do. We are here for the players, coaches, and the game, so do them all justice and get it right. Sorry if I rambled, but it really bothers me when an official thinks he is bigger than the game and tries to dominate the situation. |

I have to agree, but on the high school or college level. Sometimes in intramural flag we warn the team so many times that the captain does the talking, so we take whatever we hear first hoping it will teach them a lesson. One time we had a team miss an extra point and had an offensive penalty. One loud mouth on the D insisted on taking the penalty. So we gave it to him and everyone got a good laugh on both teams.

Wow a loss of down and 15 yard penelty on a dead ball foul. I can see the 15 but LOD?? I would just say to the offended team "you want that and give me an answer that starts with Y and ends in S."

Here in the Great White North, we just tell the non-offending team that we're moving 15 yards to their benefit. Then we tell the other team. At this point, I also tell a rookie HL so he can get the sticks set asap.

If you are talking 5-yarders, I simply ask the captain if the want the penalty. I don't give a preliminary signal as such before confering. My crew calls these fouls, "Blow and Go". One signal as ball is being marched back, ready-for-play. If you are talking about 15-yarders that occur after the play becomes dead (late hits, etc), then YES, I give a preliminary signal and confer with a captain but usually I don't say anything more than, "You want it to be (X) down and move them back 15 yards, right?
