swkansasref33 Hey fellas, Today I was reffin peewee ball, and had a coach try to tell me that if you have encroachment the whistle is blown on the snap. I have been looking through all of my books, and cant find the rule that addresses this. Can anyone help me? Thanks
MRH Encroachment is penalized if someone enters the neutal zone AFTER the ready AND the center has put his/her hands on the ball.
MD Longhorn swkansasref33 wroteokay, but can anybody tell me where it is at in the book? thats all I wanted to know. Try the section about snapping the ball.
l3will assuming nfhs rules ... encroachment... 6-1-3; 7-1-1,5,6 Ball remains dead... Rule 4-2-1 ... An official shall indicate the ball remains dead by sounding his whistle immediately when a fall occurs before a snap or free kick.
