The NCAAF Officials Written Test

[MeowingCows]

Fun for the whole family.


A Reddit user has linked to the 2018 NCAA football officials test. It is 100 questions almost entirely driven on scenarios and some obscure rulings. The thread OP also provides lots of interesting details about how the test works, expected scoring, other required tests, etc.

Here is the test, and here are the answers. You may now begin your Big 12 referee venting.

Ummm, don't I need to know if ISU is Team A or Team B before I can answer these questions?

(b) Make the call that ***** Iowa State the most.

Oh oh oh I know that one!!! The answer is (C) which is (b) with the addition that if (a) has already been tried by another official, over rule them and have them pick up the flag. For further lessons or examples check the 2017 Farmageddon game.

Here's one that I could see us getting hit on:

26. After the play, the Back Judge notices that B44’s knee pads and pants are only touching
the top of his knees.
a. B44 must leave the game for at least one down.
b. B44 is not allowed to return until the equipment is made legal.
c. B44 may be allowed to return without missing a down if his team takes a
charged team timeout and his knee pads and pants are corrected and cover the
knees.
d. All of the above.
