3. Crew Pre-game
Referee’s give RO about 15 minutes in pregame to review items
RO not here to officiate from the booth
Here to confirm & help if there is an issue
RO’s goal in a stoppage
Look at all helpful shots
Rule as quickly as possible
Don’t be upset with stands (don’t want to waste time to confirm if stands is apparent immediately
Review Red Hat proceedure
Scores
Turnovers

4. On Field Items Prior to Game and at Halftime
RO check pagers at 60 minutes, when crew arrives on the field
Referee check field headsets and field phone w/RO after pager check. RO communicate any system issues with Referee at that time.
RO check pagers again at 1 minute, prior to crew breaking to positons
Halftime: RO check pagers again at 1 minute, prior to crew breaking to positons

5. Replay Proceedures after R Announcement
RO hits button and Communicator says “Replay/Replay” on comm
Referee (at head sets):
Confirm that RO can hear you
Have back to press box & clear of bench (don’t joke with BJ)
Confirm with RO what was called on the field
RO let Referee know what you are looking at
R be quit and listen (RO to keep mic open so R can hear discussion)
Answer any questions RO may have
RO confirm decision of Confirm/Stands/Overturn
RO tell R what to announce regarding replay, including:
Down / Distance / Ball Positon / Clock / Snap or Ready
R repeat back and then make announcement

6. System Issues If system goes down
RC will communicate down through the comm that the system is not operational (for crew knowledge only)
If system does not come back up, RC will communicate to the crew via the comm system and the coaches will be notified thru the wing officials
If system comes back up, we will communicate this to the coaches via the wing officials
We will not make an announcement by the Referee

7. Use of Communication System
RC will listen to crews comments, especially during penalties and other crew discussions
RC can help with items like
Spots
#’s on PF, UNS & fouls
Clock help
Touching
10 second runoff
RC will announce over comm when replay is happening
May be able to help on scores & turnovers as well
Along with On Field Assistant

8. Targeting All targeting fouls will be reviewed by RO
Referee needs to clearly announce the information and communicate the same info with the RO
RO will try and confirm if at all possible
RO may create a targeting foul in instances where a foul is not called by the official on the field

9. Post Game Review Look at all replays
Look at LNR’s (RO & RC to communicate play numbers to crew)
Look at other plays of interest

10. Command Center What OVC Office, Matt and I get on game day All replays
Initial page when crew goes to replay, telling us what is being reviewed
A second page at the end of replay that tells us what the RO/RC did and if the play was Confirmed / Stands / Reversed
About 5 minutes later, we will get video feeds ed to us on everything you looked at in the booth
All replays
Key plays that are marked

11. In Closing Big undertaking for the conference and for the schools
Will be glitches
Keep track of anything you would like to see differently as you progress through the season and them to me. I am going to compile a list.
Don’t be scared to make a decision. R and RO will get a lot of questions about how to do something.
