« Last post by Cosmokramer1 on June 12, 2026, 10:01:05 AM »If passed, I'm assuming it would be for the 1st round playoffs only. Similar to the current structure for 5A/6A. For 1st & 2nd round playoff games I've been in favor of this for years. That being, officials of the game should come from the chapter that covers that location all season. This would be part of the two teams decision process when agreeing on location to play.
But any part associated with officials, I will believe it when I see it. It seems that UIL/TASO do not get involved with coaches picking officials, until it needs to benefit them. But I will find it comical if/when UIL dictates what officials are to be used for 1st round games but will not interject a state semi-final or championship game.

Rule 8-4 2025 NFHS Football Rules Page 70
ART. 3•.. During a try, A may score two points from what would be a
touchdown or one point for a field goal or safety by B under rules governing play
at other times during the game. Only A may score during a try.
ART. 5... If during a successful try, a foul by B occurs, A is given the choice of:
a. Accepting the penalty and replaying the down following enforcement; or
b. Accepting the result of the play and enforcement of the penalty from the
succeeding spot.
I don't think that a safety would not fall under the definition of a successful try, though it isn't specifically stated. They didn't not accomplish the 2 point try they were attempting, nor did they attempt a "field goal" so nothing was successful.

A has two options:
Accept the penalty and retry from the 1.5
Or
Accept the penalty and the 1pt safety and enforce the 10 yard penalty on the succeeding spot (kickoff or first play in overtime)

Texas Topics / Proposal coming for home playoff games
« Last post by dammitbobby on June 11, 2026, 09:30:10 AM »This is potentially good news for officials - UIL is going to have a proposal for home field advantage (4A and below) for playoffs at the next UIL Legislative Council meeting. Ideally, the proposal would require officials to be from the chapter that services the home team, same as in the regular season. This proposal, if written/implemented that way, would significantly make it so that every chapter gets several games/year. Here’s hoping that TASO advocates for this to help provide more playoff opportunities for officials, especially in chapters that are often overlooked.

Accept to retry from the 1.5.
What about enforcing the penalty from the subsequent kickoff?
