No, I meant YOU might want to look it up to see what the past scores were. It's great that you are posting it again, everyone needs to take it as far as I am concerned!

k thanks, got the link by any chance?:thumbup:
 
I had taken the quiz. I took the ref course in Vegas and returned and took the quiz again.

I did a whole lot better the second time around. Since then, I have often referred back to the quiz to refresh my old memory. Its very well done and anyone can benefit from watching it whether you are a Ref or not.

Just one of the many that Doc and Bob have done.
 
73/100 Correct

Thanks for the insightful link. This is a great resource that many of us can benefit from.
 
I'm far from a ref, but these are blowing my mind. Every time I think I understand those double hits, I realize I don't really. Like why is #1 fair but #2 foul? I thought they were both fouls - I thought #1 was a foul, given the way the CB zoomed forward as fast as the OB. And I would have called 17 good - if it goes forward at all there, it's a foul?

This will help you understand why they are legal or not

Thanks. Looking at that, it was the frozen CB-OB vs. small gap that was throwing me off. It seems that when the CB zooms forward at the same speed as the OB, that only indicates a foul when there is a small gap, not when they're frozen.

I can't see winning many league arguments about this though. :)
 
Wow thanks for the link. I think it practically covers all the controversial scenarios that may arise.
