Replay Card Template
« on: May 15, 2022, 02:51:10 PM »
Does anyone have a template to what a BJ would use when a play goes under review?

Thank you

To do what? Record the results of the review? During my FBS days, the L accompanied the R to the headphones, and recorded the game time when the review started, the reason for the review, then, following the review, the possession, down, distance, succeeding spot, LTG, and any timing related info, including game clock starting on snap/ready. The L did that, because he was the closest to the headphones.
But, with sideline guys swapping sidelines at halftime, nowadays, I honestly don’t know who does this. Can’t imagine it being the B, but maybe.
Unless a coordinator insists on a common format for recording this info, I would think you could simply develop your own card-size form. Just include all of those things mentioned. I suppose for some issues, like targeting, the player numbers involved would be relevant, too. Of course, the official(s) covering and ruling on the down in question should also be offering input to the R before the review, and then stay nearby in case more info is needed.

To answer your question yes to record the results of the review.

So I was told it can really be any official, but I was told most use the BJ for it.

This is an older one and pretty basic, but I think it should still be valid.

The B would be a 'constant,' rather than alternating the H & L, or F & S, although the B might be the farthest from the equipment. Bs are fit and fast, anyway - they can get back to position in flash!. But, then, the R ain't exactly 'close' at all times, either. Replay reviews were one time when I didn't 'hurry' to the sideline. That would give the RO time to look at the video before I got to the headphones (this was before the sideline monitors were available). That would minimize the 'dead' time on the headphones. And I ALWAYS faced away from the pressbox, to keep the 'talent' from trying to read my lips. But, yeah, having a 'recorder' is essential, and having a 'form' that includes all important info certainly keeps you from forgetting something.
My L had a replay card he used, but that was so long ago (9 seasons), I don't recall what it looked like.
