Moving to Back Judge...

[JRutledge]

1. You have the 25 second clock. You give the count for the last 5 seconds.
2. Set up 15-20 yards deep or deeper than the deepest man.
3. You have the outside receiver to the strong side or the two outside guys on a trips formation.
4. You have the goal line outside of the 10 yard line going in. You have the end line if inside the 10 yard line.
5. Do not get beat deep by a pass.
6. Hustle and get the ball back in play on long runs or passes.

Peace

2 bean bags! 1 for First Touching and 1 for end of kick!

Dead Ball Officiating especially at the sidelines!

When I work BJ I almost never blow my whistle. Obvious exceptions are fair catches and timeout warnings but I have the wings blow on routine dead balls even if the play is long.

First 2 steps are almost always back. While sidelines need to be covered by someone in addition to the wing, don't leave 16 players for a wing on the opposite side of the field to be responsible for. Work with your R on that, depending on how often he goes to the sideline. If the R is strong right, you need to make sure you are on the sideline to your right on sweeps and short passes out of bounds.

I would get one of those long toss flags. You might have to launch one and you want it somewhere near the yardline of the foul, if possible.

Finally, whatever you do, don't look for ways to inject yourself in the game. If you have no flags, that's fine. I think my best games at BJ have included a couple without any penalties, or only a delay penalty. Don't run from them, but don't make something fit into a foul either.

On the right side we have a split end and a flanker. How wide does the one remaining player have to be for it to be considered trips? A RB sanding to the right of the QB, a player behind the right tackle, a player outside the right tackle...?

The only receivers you should be concerned with are tight ends or an eligible receiver outside the tackle. the 3rd receiver would have to be outside the right tackle for this to be considered trips.
