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 in a previous regular season week.
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.

Hi John – I’m an admin at Football-Refs, a similar website that emphasizes NFL officiating assignments. I bet I could make use of that PDF. Email: prethut @ Yahoo. Thanks!
Hi, I just saw replacement umpire David Clisham working a Chicago Catholic League high school football game.
Please send me your list! Thank you, Bryon
I don’t know the names of the refs for the Jags/Colts game, but in a couple of shots of the sidelines I could swear that the linesman was a WOMAN (Not that a woman could do a worse job than the male bozos in there)!
