Questions from the test

I took the test this past summer and have almost completed my first season. I read the rules book several times over and went back and checked with every question. It seemed like many questions were designed to be confusing, "trick" questions.

Welcome to the wonderful world of FED rules tests!

Finally, I have one question. What happens when both teams hit the net at the same time or you can't tell which side hit the net, but you know someone did?

If a player from each team touches the net at the same time, it is a double violation and a replay. It happens from time to time. If you can't tell who hit the net, you can't call anything. This is why it is important for the down official to keep his or her concentration on the net. If you are working solo, you do the best you can. Your primary responsibility is to follow the ball.
