We are expecting to get the officiating assignments piecemeal, rather than the full list. As we confirm, we will post here with the full spotters chart. In some cases, where the entire crew is not known to us, we have listed the crew that the head referee officiated with last week (generally, these are the crews that do not have an alternate official listed).
All times are Eastern. Positions are listed in order: referee, umpire, head linesman, line judge, field judge, side judge, and back judge. The illustration shows the relative positions of the officials on the field. The first-down chains are at the top sideline, the single yard-to-gain and the drive-start stakes at the bottom sideline. The chain crew switches sidelines at halftime, as do the four sideline officials.

Tom Falcinetti is actually Falcinelli. He is the former commissioner of the AIFA arena league; and was a superb on field official in arena and college ball.
Thanks. I made the correction on my master list before, but sometimes a copy-and-paste must bring the misspelling back in.
The side judge originally scheduled for the Carolina – Saints game has been replaced for having a facebook page where is openly admits to being a Saints fan. This is being reported by ESPN.
when will you post the rest of the games im looking for what game jim core referees
Sorry, Kevin. I tried to get what I could during the games, but I didn’t want to lose focus on the games.
I find it interesting that some officials work two games a week. Also some of the officials from pre-season aren’t getting games in the regular season, and Bobby Jackson was a white hat in pre-season but is now a BJ. he was my SJ in one of my games in the SWAC Conference.
Xavier, we are going to discuss that during the week, but there are less “white hats” (head referees) than there are crews. At least 2 preseason referees have not been assigned to regular season games. There are other duplicates at other positions too (not many), but it is much more obvious when the “R” shows up on Thursday and again on Sunday.
