Chris's First Experience as a Head Umpire
Chris shares his unique experience as the head umpire for an American football game in the UK, a role he had never undertaken before. He discusses the ongoing challenges faced by lower division teams in securing qualified referees, which led him to step in due to a shortage of officials. Observing that many coaches were unaware of certain rules, Chris decided to apply the most straightforward solutions to potential complexities during the game. He recalls a memorable incident involving an illegal kick after a fumble, pointing out that although he miscalled the penalty yardage, the game's dynamics reinforced the shared understanding of rules among a less formal officiating environment.
