Was it grass or turf? If grass, I'd probably go ahead and measure. Field could be off; of course, so could the chains. I had a game once where the 39 and 40 yard line on one side of the field where almost touching each other! We told the V coach and said on anything close we'd measure. If you're on turf, then I'd be inclined to tell them the turf is more accurate than the chains.

Its your decision as to what's reasonable, but if its close, a possible change of possession, and/or a critical point in a varsity game, I'm going to measure. Last night we measured twice when I was 100% sure he was a yard short. Just feel like its easier to show them rather than try to explain why we didn't. Obviously, anything unreasonable we're not going to do it.
