Codes
10 Rules Rule 1 starts on page 11 Rule, section, article (abbreviated as art.) So, rule 1, section 5, begins on page 17 Rule 1, section 5, article 6, is on page 22 It tells us that each player shall properly wear
the mandatory equipment while the ball is live It’s way too hard to say “rule 1, section 5,
article 6”, so officials use a shorthand version: 1-5-6

Rule Book Organization
Top of page 22 tells us that the page starts with 1-5
Top of page 23 tell us that the page starts with 1-6

Other Information From Pages 22 and 23
Case book, page 2, Case Book Format Rule book references are shown by a dash, case
book references are shown by a decimal (dot) 1-5-6 is a rule reference 1.5.6 is a case book reference The case book is linked to the rule book, so
1.5.6, on page 12, is a case related to rule 1-5-6 Above 1.5.6 is case *1.5.3D, which has an
asterisk: • That means the case is has been revised or is
completely new for 2010

Case Book #1
A is the team that puts the ball in play (implies a non-kicking down)
B refers to the opponent of Team A K is the team which kicks the ball during the
down R refers to the opponent of team K Team designations remain until the ball is next
declared ready for play Offense is the team in possession of the ball, but
that is not always team A
9
A, B, K and R: Case Book Page 2
Quarterback A1 receives the snap• He is a member of team A• His team is on offense
Quarterback A1 throws a forward pass that is intercepted by linebacker B1• B1 now has possession of the ball, and his team is on
offense• His teammates are B2 through B11
10
Team Designation—Example 1
K1 punts the ball• Receiver R1 makes a catch and begins to run• R is on offense as soon as he makes the catch• The ball is now in team possession of R • R1 fumbles and an opponent, K2, recovers• K2 is now on offense
Summary:• Designation of A, B, K & R never changes during the
down• Designation of offense can change several times during
the down
