That wasn't me.

I was signaling the TD on the goal line as the BJ.

Then since you have had exposure to WWCFOA and the other official presumably has not, I can only assume that it was your proper WWCFOA exposure that had you using proper mechanics.

Actually I credit it to the HFOA training meetings and clinics, something WWCFOA lacks.

Forced evaluations can only go so far until you actually have to train your members.

I think there is some type of uniform mandate in High school that states by 2010 that home team must wear white or something to the fashion of each team having home and aways, Im in CA so it may be a CIF thing, I wish I could remember where I read it, It may have been in the rule book for NFHS....

Your thinking about basketball. In basketball the home team usually wears white. Soon, if not this year already, the home team will be required to wear white. In football the home team usually wears a dark color while the visitors wear white or a light color. Beginning in 2012 the visitors will be required to wear a jersey that is mostly white while the home team's jersey will be mostly not white.

A few decades ago that was true in the pros, but the opposite way with high schools I was familiar with.
