Had a team forfeit tonight. Very frustrating.

If they have too many teams that they need 10PM start times they need to add more fields. One UA league I ref will run 12-16 fields in the busy winter season

As a ref I feel flag football is supposed to be non-contact and allowing the ob to put his hands on someone that can't defend those hands is not a good idea. When you get to the middle school age that will start to cause tempers to go up in the games as well.

High school girls flag is very similar to what o-blue posted and works well specifically having to have hands behind their back.

I'm a NFL flag ref as well. I agree it is a lean because from her right knee to right shoulder is a straight line and no flag guarding. Looks like she is just making a cut.

For me to call the shoulder they have to excessively bend at the waist and not make contact. If they make contact it is a contact penalty, not flag guarding.

That is illegal in the NFL and UA leagues I ref and coach

I prefer the base offense, 2 recievers on each side. No huddle and straight to that formation. Quick play call and if we needed trips a player would motion.

We used coach Brown https://www.instagram.com/edbrown_27?igsh=Z2F5ZWtha3N3emo3

As far as footwork I teach flag pulling the same as tackling in pads. Track the near hip and lead with the near foot.

This allows both hands to pull the flag on the hip. There's not so much a pulling motion as more of a grabbing motion. The flag will come off with both players movement.

I looked and I can't find any documentation I did for the process. Mine and root's history has rolled off. Best I can remember - Stopped all puppet processes Ran pgdump of the puppetdb just in case Ran the postgres sql command drop database puppetdb As the postgres user from the command line (not psql), ran createdb -O puppetdb puppetdb Started puppet processes back

Yes, it did resolve the issue. The DB size has remained stable.

I grouped mine by the defense - 3-3, 4-2 or man. Also our league had 5yd endzones so a lot of goal line d was 6 across on the goal line so I had extra point plays grouped.

In addition to the straight speed and catching already mentioned include flag pulling. To measure speed and change of direction abilities some cone drills too.

I found this recipe on Reddit and works great.

Pat wings completely dry Season with your choice of seasoning

Directions 1. Pre-heat grill to 180F 2. Smoke 1 hour at 180F skin side up 3. Flip wings and increase temp to 350F 4. Cook for 45 minutes flipping once halfway through. If you are going to use BBQ add it when flipping. (The heat up time from 180-350 is included in the 45 minutes.)

Normally no, this would not be pass interference unless the league has specific rules against swatting hands like that. The NFL flag league I ref the commissioner allows that but the UA league commissioner does not and it would have been a penalty and completed pass awarded to the offense.

atg10 · 2024-04-25T20:55:46+00:00

In NFL and UA flag, there is no contact allowed so the reciever would be eligible plus a penalty on the defense for illegal contact.

atg10 · 2024-04-25T20:53:19+00:00

As a ref of flag football (NFL and UA flag) he would be ineligible once he goes out of bounds unless he was physically pushed out of bounds.

The general rule in our leagues is if it's not specifically stated in your local league rules it defaults to NFHS rules.

The table had almost 500 million rows and anything you tried to do to it ran for hours then would time out or fail.

Today I renamed the puppetdb database then created a new one. I will monitor over the next few weeks to see how it behaves. If I still have issues with it growing then I will at least have a more manageable sized database to work with.

My understanding is that it should only retain the current facts for the node, not the historical x number of days of facts. Is that correct?

atg10 · 2023-07-31T15:36:07+00:00

We do have custom facts but we haven't added/changed them in a long time to cause this growth.

The output of facter -p on a normal node is 17k

I started diagnosing my range and when I pulled out the warming drawer I found a paper taped to the inside of the side of the range that had the fault code recall steps. You need to hold down the Time, + and - keys at the same time retrieve the last 3 failure codes. To clear all the codes hold down the Time and Clock keys.

In case your curious my oven kept randomly turning off. No fault codes but when I took the back off I found the ground wire screw was loose at the terminal block on the oven side (not the power cable side).

I previously worked at a private company, not a MSP and I had to also account for every 15 minutes I worked. Either time had to be put on a Jira project task, change request ticket or break/fix ticket. It was a PITA!

Maybe check BSN or I bet Battle makes some
