About

Officials Chalkboard

Features
Read full description

This is a simple app that allows an experienced official to help a new official to understand the mechanics of his position. There are 4,5-,6-, and 7-man mechanics for coin toss, kickoff, scrimmage downs, scrimmage kicks, field goals and trys. The positions show in these presets are patterned after the mechanics used by officials in some states. Not all officials use the positioning described here so if these are not to your liking, you have the ability to create your own positions and save those to retrieve later. There is also a freehand mode that allows the user to move the tokens around on the field.
