Must be the NF Mechanics Manual. We don't use it.

Thanks for the explanation.

How else would you handle a try in 4-man?

We have the LJ under one pole, the U under the other, the HL on the Line and the R takes the kicker/holder.

Who watches for roughing the snapper?

Rich,

you are really lucky in your area, all of my JV/FR games this season except for two are three man games...I have no five man games this season outside of Pop Warner where almost all games are five man (man that league has too much money, so we are only too happy to take it from them)

Joe

The U, just like he's supposed to.

OK, but he's off the field, about 15 yards from the LOS. It's hard to be visible and preventive and clean up the line play afterwards from under an upright.

I'm not saying either way is wrong. I don't like abdicating the roughing responsibilities or like calling the uprights myself (it's like calling balls and strike from behind the mound) and I'm trying to decide whether to use this on Thursday when I actually have to work 4-man.

I'm not saying either way is right or wrong. We all have to do what our group tells us. It's interesting to see what other people do.

That mechanic has worked for us for ~20 years. For whatever reason, we don't have a problem with roughing. Our Varsity coaches adapted after the roughing the C rule was put in. I have seen no one head-up on the C in years.

I U'd a 4-man game on Saturday and it felt right to get to pole calls right. The R and H clean up the line play.

BTW, in 5-man we have the BJ on one pole and the U on the other if the ball is snapped inside the 10. That way the H and L can stay on the line.

Again, not saying it's right or wrong, it's our mechanic.

36 yard Florida FG attempt (vs. Alabama) appeared to pass directly over the uprights.
Kicker thought is was good from his angle... NOT.
BJ ruled it no good as expected too.

In AZ, on a 4 man crew the LJ has the hook pole and the cross bar. The R has the other pole.

The ball must be inside of the uprights. Any portion of the ball on or outside of the uprights is "no-good"
Make the tough call.
