Game Reports

Who is going to be responsible for doing this? IMO, if it the crew on the field many fouls may not be recorded. Is the association going to send someone with the crew to do this? I guess it is possible for the ECO to do it, if he is provided by your association.

For college we have our alternate keep up with it. In high school, most of our back judges carry a voice recorder and keeps track on that. Then after the game we will play the recorder and fill out the report.

The BJ can do it IF the referee gives him time. If you want to seriously tick off a BJ, ask him to record fouls, and then chop it in 2 seconds after the ball is placed at the end of a penalty.

I'm sorry but I see no useful application as a HS official. This isn't a full time job and in my area we are not set crews so every Friday I'm going to be working with 4 different guys. While you might get a feeling that maybe you had a lot of holding calls one particular night but come next Friday, you might have one guy with you that you worked the prior week.

The only video we are likely to have is what a particular school sends in to the assignor and its probably just clips of calls they question.


We record major fouls and ejections on our game cards and that's it. This falls under the law of diminishing returns. Its not worth the work IMO.

I understand college crews being required to do this but I don't believe many HS coaches would use the report. If they had a question about a call they know when it was and will review it and send it in if they see fit.

I don't keep up with mine but I can tell you the time and Qtr if I want to review something for myself.

We show up with a couple of blank DVDs and self addressed stamped envelopes. most teams will happily make us a copy of their film for our own training purposes.

I do the same. If I get a 50% return rate, I consider it a success. Several schools I've given up on. They're sitting on too many blank DVD's of mine as it is.

The DVD's are mailed back to me and then I copy and send to the rest of the crew. When I have time, I review them and prepare a script on Excel. I will cut clips and post to a private YouTube link and e-mail the link to that game crew. I do a voice over sometimes or just attach the Excel script.
A foul report might be handy but most times the videographer doesn't catch the R's signal nor do they shoot the game time very often.

Question. What software do you use to cut out clips for a full length DVD?
