Officiating Basics - The Back Judge

[@tigerguy1013]

Back judge is a position I wanna learn and do in the 2022 season so this was a great video to watch

Solid video. Love the ‘Eye on Springfield’ theme.

BJ also has to Pregame with the... 1. Clock Operator 2. should walk the field 3. Pregame with ball personel 4. Should pre-game with punt returners and strength of kickers leg

Interesting. Now with the 40/25 play clock, BJ typically is responsible for that. LJ is usually the backup timer. To be safe, I wear a play clock device on my belt, and keep a backup game clock on my wristwatch. If I have radio, I also communicate with my SJ (7-man crew) or LJ (5-man crew) about clock status and times.

First Varsity Game tonight and I'm a Back Judge. Also, huge point of emphasis is watching Offensive/Defensive Pass Interference as well as "catching."

[@bfarm9832]

What about positions on kicks and long runs or passes? And when does back judge get spot?

Kickoff 20 yd line on 5 man

[@ilyazhitomirskiy9218]

Back Judge hands the ball to the kicker on a free kick. On punts, he is 5 yards behind the returner (deepest, if more than 1 returner), or at the goal line, if the punt is from the 50 yard line and in. On field goal attempts, he is under one upright with either a wing official or umpire, depending on association mechanics. He is responsible for ruling on kicks going under/over the crossbar and for the upright closest to him. He blows the whistle on tries and field goals when the kick either scores or misses.
