Spot after a touchback

[ppaltice]

That sounds confusing. Maybe JJ is referring to the try where Team A also gets to choose the spot between the inbounds line.

I usually spot in the middle of the field, yet give the team with the option an opportunity to amend this location. For NFHS they have until the RFP to select the spot.

The ball is spotted in the middle unless the captain or coach tell us otherwise.

We don't go chasing after the team to ask them. I give them until the RFP to have us move the football.

If your assignor wants it, fine, but thank goodness I don't need to worry about that.

Amen to that. I've only had a handful of instances in 15+ years where the coach or QB wanted the ball to one side or the other. In those cases, it's usually a run dominant team who has studs on one side of the line and will run the ball that direction...even if they're on the short side of the field.

We tell the staffs before each game that unless otherwise informed, the ball will be placed at the mid point between the hashes on the approporiate yardline after all touchdowns and touchbacks.

Never had a problem with that.... had plenty of requests to place it elsewhere with no problem as well.
