Penalty Summary Card

[Warrenkicker]

I have scratched the yardages of each penalty beside each signal and if it is a loss-of-down or automatic first down as well, you can't write on vinyl cards very easily. This way I can not only quickly look up and be sure of a seldom used signal but also get the right yardage and next down correct. It has been helpful a few times. It fits in the same folder as my game card and pencil.

I just take the penalty summary page out of the rule book and stick it in my game wallet. But I have my umpire carry one too so he can look it up while I stall. Never had to use it, but I like having it on the field for those brain-fart situations.

One option that has the signal and distances together his to circle the number of the signal on the signal chart in different colors. I circled the 5 yarders in green, 10 yarders in black, and 15 yarders in red. That way if needed I can see the signal and yardage with one glance. Make sure you use a permanent marker.

Which book and what page sir? This would be very helpful for a rookie like myself.

In the rule book. Toward the back, not sure of the page number, there is a one-page list of the fouls/penalties broken down by 5, 10 and 15 yards. It also includes those that include automatic first down or loss of down.
