I'm not sure you can just use numbers like "the ten times rule" to compare north/south of the border. Football is more popular in the US- I'll go out on a limb and say a far greater percentage of...

One thing you'll learn when you work for a while is that years of experience doesn't mean a whole lot regarding rules and mechanics. I've seen guys with 25 years of bad. If you have lofty...

I don't have my case book at work so I'm not sure if that's where you're getting this. It doesn't seem right. If you measure after a 4th down and they're short you wouldn't move the ball.

How do you know the ball is correctly placed after marching 5 yards? The tape on the chain is pretty much a standard mechanic at all levels. If the down box guy isn't on the ball then the HL has to...

From some numbers I've seen it sounds like around 130 officials for every 1 million in population is about right. This seems to jive for our association and for other numbers I've seen (but the Iowa...

Team A may not have a first and 10 if it again possesses the ball after a change of team possession.

In NF, any kick that crosses the plane of the goal line is a touchback. You can't have a live "kick" in the end zone (other than a scoring attempt).

This isn't a PSK foul since K has the ball at the end of the down. K will take the penalty, enforced from the previous spot, and repeat 4th down.

SD-Buffalo holding enforcement

SD missed a field goal and was flagged for holding. Buffalo got the ball at the spot of the kick plus got 10 yards tacked on for the holding. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

While everyone was fixated on the elbow hitting down in the end zone before he landed out of bounds, they missed the most important part- he never caught the ball.

What is he certified in?

This is a dead ball foul in NFHS.

Although often times in youth leagues it's not a foul at all unless really blatant.

The commissioner, Dan Hinkle, sounds like a real piece of work and whether his kid plays defense or not, I'm guessing he'll grow up to be quite the citizen himself.

For forward progress, the ball is where the ball is. I believe you're thinking about when the ball is turned "sideways". To spot the ball for play you have to keep the back end where it was and the...

I'll bite on this one.

I have no idea what the answer is but I would rule that the entire ball must pass the entire crossbar for the FG to be good.

My logic in this is that you could have the...

The rule book says you deny a request for any time out after they have used all three. I don't think you can just flag them for delay as they request it.
