NFHS Penalty Enforcement Fundamentals

Hello everyone,
 
I hope this post finds you and your families safe and healthy during these strange and uncertain times.
 
I’ve put together a document which covers the rules and principles of NFHS penalty enforcement. It’s called NFHS Penalty Enforcement Guidelines, and is available for download from our website. In it I tried to simplify and reorder those enforcement principles and also offer readers some tips that I’ve learned and employed over the years. I first put this together somewhere around the 2000 season and I’ve been updating and enhancing it every season since. I put it out to several friends from around the country, many of whom are state interpreters and at least two of which are or have been their state representatives to the NFHS Rules Committee. I’ve gotten great feedback from them and incorporated it as the years have gone by.
 
I’d like to make this available to everyone for his or her use. Please download a copy as soon as you can.
 
If you have any questions or would like to offer any feedback or suggestions for enhancing it, please feel free to reach out by phone, text or email, or by leaving commentary below.
