Your questions are too . . .well, questionable.
You happen to know about the numbers on the clip, but you have no idea how the chains work?
These questions about the LOS are questions my wife could answer, and she's never played or officiated.
You claim you are a new official, but you are not registered? C'mon, dude!

What happened to the coin toss thread you posted last week?

I'm learning. I've been making a lot of threads - so I deleted the coin toss one. Hopefully keeping the board clear of better discussion

If you aren't doing varsity you don't need to be registered.

How do you get to work varsity if you have never read or studied the rulebooks? I would think that would be apart of your association or state license. Never heard that or remember hearing that. Maybe you need to join a local official's association because a lot of these things should be covered in meetings and trainings I would think.

I recommended 4 books for you already. I guess you could get a Handbook. This usually gives a more in-depth description of certain rules and the history of why a rule was changed or how it should be called.

Peace

The organiz'ns that publish the rules have no control over what organiz'ns use their rules. Those organiz'ns don't have to be affiliated with them. The League of Mutt & Jeff could use Fed rules without requiring officials to register with anybody.

I am fully aware of the first part of your comments. I was not even thinking there was a requirement by the NF and know there is no such requirement in the first place. I am very aware of how member states have their relationship with the NF as our state has gone through a recent transition from one level of membership to another. That was not what I was asking at all. I am surprised that you can work a high school game and the state does not provide the opportunity to have rulebooks and other training material to work high school games or to have a license. Most places if you want to work for the high school association you have to pay dues and they give you books or the opportunity to buy books. This guy claims he has no access (or knowledge) to that and this is why I found that odd. Even if you do not have to belong to an association, you likely have some avenue to purchase these books. The rulebooks and casebook come with our dues and we have to pass a test every year. I am not saying that is not the case in Kansas, but never heard that. And I found it odd that the requirement is if you are working varsity. Then what if they need a fill in and you are available, you cannot work. I am not like others I am not calling this BS just because it is farfetched, just found it odd that is all.

Peace
