A laundry list of Points of Emphasis topics is compiled. Each sub-committee (4) submits several and a floor vote is taken as to which to choose. This year, the three chosen were :
1. Sportsmanship
2. Intentional Grounding
3. Ineligible Downfield and Line of Scrimmage Formation
The Editorial Committee assembles the POEs and won't be available to the rank and file until the Rules Book is published
FYI -
The last time Sportsmanship was a topic was 2009. This was the first time the other two were topics. The most popular topic , over the years was : Illegal Personal Contact -Safety. It was POE 13 times between 1980 - 2017. It was also POE in 1985,1986,1987,1988,1989,1990,1991,and 1992. A repetitive record that probably never be broken !!!
