Reading and Understanding Keys Bux-Mont Chapter PIAA Football Officials – District One
Determining Strength 4 0 4 0 • In recognizing the strength of the formation (strong vs. weak side), officials must pay attention to the offensive team. • Strength has nothing to do with the number of offensive lineman on each side of the center or the wide side of the field (unless you are still playing the game). • To determine the strength of the formation, take note which side of the formation has more eligible receivers outside the tackle. • If players are stacked, the player nearest the LOS is considered to be the widest. 3 0 0 3 2 0 0 2
Determining Strength 4 0 4 0 • The back judge has priority followed by the wing men. • Wing officials should never key the same player as the back judge. • Be alert for motion as this can change the strength and keys. 3 0 0 3 2 0 0 2
Formations 4 0 4 0 • Unbalanced • Back judge keys on the widest receiver on the strong side of the field. • Wing official on the strong side keys on the inside player of the formation, normally a flanker or wing back. • Wing official on the weak side will key on the end nearest his side, normally a wideout. 3 0 0 3 2 0 0 2
Formations 4 0 4 0 • Balanced • Strength is always considered to be to the line judge side of the field. • Back judge keys on the widest receiver on the strong side of the field (line judge side). • The wing officials key on receivers other than the back judge’s key and any backs who move toward them at the snap. 3 0 0 3 2 0 0 2
