Delay of Game on Field Goal

Wave it off.

Actually, if I couldn't get my wing under the posts in a timely manner, I'd call and official's timeout to make sure he moved. Then I'd hit another RFP and we wouldn't have to worry about a delay.

Ahhhh, a side judge. If only we had those where I live for HS games.

Seems to me that if you're working at a level that uses a Side Judge, your crew would be of such a quality that A) this would never ever happen, and B) if somehow it did, R would stop play and give a new RFP when SJ was ready.

Doesn't the SJ go to the LOS the same way the umpire does?

Depends on the mechanics. In AHSAA 6 man mechanics, SJ is under the post. In 7 man, SJ is in double umpire position (BJ and FJ under uprights).

This was an error on the officials, not Team A. No DOG in my opinion.

Wow. You didn't know this? How can you look at yourself in the mirror each day?

Forgive me for my misinformation - I meant LJ. It was a 5 man crew, and this time I wasn't a part of it - I was in the stands. I thought the WH should have at least waved it off. After they marked off 5 yds, the kid missed the FG by about 6 inches.

CANADIAN RULING:

If the side guy who is supposed to go under the uprights isn't in position, the R will have yet to blow in the RFP. If he has, then someone should kill the play and let the side guy get in position. If they miss this opportunity, then it's all the BU.

Might be the best description of spamming ever posted.

Who said I did not know this? That is what happens in a CCA 7 man mechanic. But then again I do understand (like said before) not everyone uses the same mechanics. Bet you did not know that did you?

Sounds like you have issues with people disagreeing. This was not even an issue, but you are trying to create something aren't you? Oh, you left because you could not stand disagreement.
