by at all times
Make sure that Ball Boy(s) places Kicking Ball behind goal posts on Kicks
When holding spot in close first downs, dont immediately triangle ball into umpire.
Hold ball and place on foot, or if other official has ball, ask for it to be placed on your
foot.

Linesman
Ensure Referees allow enough time to reset chains after a measurement
Encourage Referee to be VISIBLE when awarding first down
Suggest Umpire to use inside of foot for spot, especially on wet days when they may
be holding/drying ball and its hard to see the spot
Suggest Umpire to relay penalty enforcement info (e.g. I am marching 10 yards
from the 36) before starting to enforce penalty. Easier to verify.

Referee
Try to keep the Back Judge in the game through frequent communication (e.g.
signals when to start clock, eye contact, down, etc.)
Suggest Linesman to be the Down Leader and confirm down on every play (very
vocally). All officials can look to Linesman for down as central point.
Suggest that Umpires stay over the ball until the ball is marked ready for play. Very
important to prevent inadvertent ball movement, premature snaps, etc.

Umpire
Referee should approach Umpire during penalties
Umpire should stay over ball until center arrives (especially on wet days)
Suggest wings to be very vocal (loud) when there is a need to adjust ball spot
Suggest that Referee advise the Umpire of which wing has the spot
Umpire can assist with getting the new ball during a change of possession in some
situations when he is near the home sideline
