How do you chart your penalties?

Alternatively, have each official record their own fouls with maybe somebody else writing down the R's fouls. Combine notes at half time and after the game.

You must be an amazing official to be able to enforce the penalty and still have time to record it.


On our HS crew the BJ tries to record all penalties but mostly for quick review after the game. We don't have to report them anywhere.

On our college crew, each official documents their own fouls and the B covers the R and U as well. We also give a penalty card to the clip guy. The H/S help him by providing details. After the game we combine the penalty card with what everyone recorded to complete the official penalty report provided to the supervisor and coaches.
