Referee announcements/calls on mp3/CD

[Old-Dawg]

In addition to slowing down make sure you are out away from the crowd in the clear. Never try and give a signal when you are standing among the players or other officials.

If you are using your own ECO have him let you know how it looks at half-time.

My best tip would be to make your signal and announcement slower.

VERY good advice. To help with this, put deliberate pauses. I sometimes get in a hurry to get everything out, but if I pause, it flows better. So, my presentation is essentially:

"HOLDING (pause) offense (pause) 10 yard penalty from the previous spot (pause) repeat x down."
