Rule decisions final?
« on: July 24, 2012, 03:14:11 AM »
2/10 on A-30. A32 runs to A-35. After the ball is dead A92 slugs B55. After enforcement the officials incorrectly mark the ball as 2/20 on A-20. The ball is snapped and A32 runs to A-21. The officials notice the error in the down number. What next?

Rule 12-3-5-d-2 states that a replay official can correct the number at any time during a series of downs.

Question is: what if your league doesn't have instant replay? I guess the only option would be to correct the mistake as soon as possible and be prepared to eat some humble pie.
Now look, you know different people think about life in different ways. Lawyers think life is a big court room, doctors probably think life is like a big operation, and bus drivers think life is... er... a big bus I guess, who knows what the hell those guys think. Anyway, I've always thought of life as a big football game...
