Delay of Game?
So, last night. Kickoff slated for 7:00. Visiting team is on the field with about 3 minutes left on pregame clock. Clock runs out, nome team on field yet. Visiting team huddles and gets kickoff team ready, about 3 minutes pass by and no home team. Visitors ask for a delay of game penalty. Home team finally runs through their spirit line, then huddles up kick receiving team on sideline. White gives two warning whistles. Should we have had a delay penalty?
3-6-3 says a team shall be ready to play within 2 minutes after being ordered to do so by the referee. Would this apply? The penalty for this is a forfeit. Any thoughts Last edited by OKREF; Sat Oct 12, 2013 at 09:05pm. |

Our mechanic is to bring the teams out before the game and at half time so this isn't an issue.

While that is the mechanic we also use, what do you do if the coach simply does not bring his team out of the locker room? An official can only tell the coach to get on the field, not physically bring them on the field. It's happened here where the team is told repeatedly that they need to be on the field and they are still late, so having an official there is not the always going to prevent the problem.

Use the forfeit rule when a team simply refuses to play. Not after halftime or at the beginning. It would have to be absurdly egregious (refusing to send out his team because he's mad about a call, etc) - and you definitely want to be telling the coach. "OK, coach, have it your way. You have 2 minutes to get on the field or the game is over."
I can't recall it happening. I can recall my WH threatening it once - after a time out, the coach was upset at what he perceived to be 2 consecutive missed PF's on the other team and told my WH he wouldn't send out his team because it wasn't safe. WH told him he's got 2 minutes. We ended up flagging 2 DOG's, walking both off, when he finally sent his team out.

And on the NFHS side of things, I'm not sure we have such a limitation (rulewise). I've seen plenty of games where the RFP is blown before B is even close to ready. Though I've never seen it with B standing on the sidelines. |

REPLY: If you want to end your officiating career and really go out in a blaze of YouTube glory, just blow the ready-for-play with A on the field ready to go and B on the sideline. Warn them, give them a DOG, give them a second DOG. But don't EVER blow the RFP without B on the field ready to go.

I hate when drafters do that, using different words like "authority" and "jurisdiction" so when you search for one you don't find the other, even when they're in proximity.
