With twins on each side, the mid-judges could take the slot receivers, the back judge the tight end, and the deep flanks the outside receivers with the wings taking anyone left in the backfield on his side. The other helps the U with holding and helps the R with QB fouls and late hits.

I like having 6 wing officials. Having 2 more wing officials would leave the LJ and HL free would eliminate the need for a wing judge. One official will be called the deep judge and the other the rear judge.

I'm not exactly sure how to work out who gets the progress spot. The DJ and RJ will take it at the goal line, but at what point to the HL and LJ let the SJ and FJ take over?
