The rule is NF: 10.4.2.a. Rule 10 is a relatively short rule and should be read slowly, simultaneously with the Case Book.
There is a pretty extensive "Summary of Penalties" as appendix B in the Redding Study G to NFHS Rulesuide which you may find helpful. |

Kind of like any advice you will be given from people. It is just more "anonymous" here.

Are you implying my opinion was idiotic? His questions are good questions, but they are novice questions nonetheless. I would tell anyone with those questions that they need more experience. I apologize if my frame of reference is different from most. Where I officiate, inexperienced officials work their way up from youth to JV to Varsity.

I know you weren't asking me but I do agree with you that some of his questions are basic questions. They are much like the questions I asked as a newly licensed official. I give this site (and a few others) credit for developing my knowledge of the rulebook at a much faster rate than I would have gotten on my own. My story is that I was a Referee of my own crew at the start of my third year because I was tired of waiting, but I look back and wonder how badly I messed stuff up. Most new officials don't know how much they don't know and are anxious to work "meaningful" games. I think we both agree that we are glad the poster is here asking them and I saw that encouragement in your post.

Brandon, do you have a set of rule books yet? If not, I'd suggest you ask someone in your HS league to see if they might donate you a set of last year's. While there are changes, both in the rules and editorially, the change is not so great that you couldn't utilize them. You can print off the synopsis of 2009 changes off the Federation website
I had a supervisor (in my day job) that absolutely refused to answer a question until he had determined that I had looked it up in the policy manual first. Its great that you want to learn but you and your new association will be better served by getting in the rule book and looking it up first. If something confuses you then ask members of the association you are joining. Every officials association is going to have different takes on certain rules and you want to ensure that the interpretation you use is the one that your association wants-not what we discuss here or on the other boards. Also I would order two supplemental guides- the Reddings NFHS Guide and the Fed's Rules by Topic. Redding';s is available from Honig's and the Rules by Topic guide can be had from Referee Magazine. Those two books are excellent study resources as they break the rule book down into a more mentally digestable format. If you are new to NFHS rules, I'd shy away from the case book for awhile, unless you loved word problems in school or are a whiz with the Federal tax code. |

As for the level of game you work always look to the next level to determine what you need to do to reach that level. Personally, new officials who ask questions have all my support because they can be taught. Best of luck to you. |

Brandon-
You will get there, keep studying, asking questions and seeking the right answers from a variety of sources. My own advice is to get intimate with Rule 2. Understanding and being able to apply definitions will be key in learning and comprehending the remainder of the rule book.

Brandon,
I am not "cutting you down." You very well may be ready. Only those from your association who have observed you can know for sure. Based on the level of your questions I firmly believe that you need more work. As I said previously, in my organization the standards are high. Getting on the varsity field too soon can negatively affect an official's career. You and others may feel my criticism is harsh. So be it. You had best prepare for harsh criticism as you move up. Your questions tell me that you have potential. Keep it up.
