inbounds spot
« on: September 25, 2011, 11:45:01 PM »
Our high school fields are marked with the hash marks (parallel to sidelines) outside the optional yard line marks (parallel to goallines). The umpires like to spot the ball on the inside edge of the yard line marks, 2 feet inside the actual inbounds marks. Should I care?

Your umpires should be trained to spot the ball just inside the hash mark, regardless of the placement of the "tic marks".

Granted, this won't have any effect 98% of the time, but it *could* make a difference on a FG attempt.
