Transcript of AHSAA 7-Man Mechanics 2014. 2014 Changes No 2 nd Half Meeting Of The Captains. Captains no longer...
2014 Changes
• No 2nd Half Meeting Of The Captains. Captains no longer meet at mid-field to start the second half. The decision on the direction of the kickoff will be obtained from the head coach during the mandated 3 minute warm up prior to the second half by the Line Judge or Back Judge. Still meet at the center of the field for Star Formation
Pregame
• Be on the field 45 minutes prior to kickoff.• BJ, LJ, FJ, and SJ:– Police the 45 Yard Line Zone. Keep players out of the
45 Yard Line Zone. Minimize fraternization. You do not need to be stationary. Check for illegal or missing equipment during this time. This zone remains vacant even if one team has left.
– Check the field.– Meet the Head Coach and ball boys.– Make sure players are off the field during the Coin Toss
Pregame• Referee and Umpire
– Talk to home and visiting head coach.– R: Verify legality of the balls.– U: Check equipment and casts. Verify legality.
• Linesman– Verify chains– Meet and Instruct chain crew. (Should LJ also meet during this time?)– Meet the Head Coach and ball boys.
• Clock Operator– Determine how to operate the clock (setting time, starting/stopping,
procedure for adjusting the time).– Verify the game clock and play clocks are working on the field.– Set the game clock to countdown to scheduled kickoff time (synchronized to
SJ’s time).
