Back judge - back pedal or turn and run

Always start with a back peddle. Then you will have to turn if the play is coming directly at you or they are about to outrun you.

Peace

So when do you stop back peddling and turn to run? When they are even with you?

I usually pivot out of my backpedal when (a) it's clear the runner is free to the goal line and (b) I know I'm not going to get the goal line in time if I don't.

Just don't turn and lose all of the blocking around the runner -- officiating that is more important than getting to the goal line if the runner isn't being challenged.

A reason not to run toward the play.
