• In recognizing the strength of the formation (strong vs. weak side), officials must pay attention to the offensive team.

• Strength has nothing to do with the number of offensive lineman on each side of the center or the wide side of the field

• To determine the strength of the formation, take note which side of the formation has more eligible receivers outside the tackle.

• If players are stacked, the player nearest the LOS is considered to be the widest.

• The back judge has priority followed by the wing men.

• Wing officials should never key the same player as the back judge.

• Be alert for motion as this can change the strength and keys.
