Utilize Formation > Ref Event > Penalty > Enter resulting Yard line

If the penalty is thrown on 4th Down and you truly do not know what formation the offense will come out in, then you can use the Ref Event button on the formation screen (this should be incredibly rare)

Common examples include false starts, delay of game, encroachment, too many men on the field, etc.

Banjo has the necessary logic built in to correctly output scenarios where the yardage gained on the penalty results in a 1st Down

If the penalty is declined, do NOT assign a team. Tap the red Decline button

There are multiple places where you can input a live ball penalty. The most common will be using the orange penalty toggle on the yardage screen and the passing screen

For penalties that occur on incomplete passes, you will need to utilize Ref Event > Penalty on the Confirmation screen. Because of the functionality of incomplete passes, you will not see the yardage selector screen, and therefore will not have another way to do this

As soon as you see a penalty on the field, select the penalty alert toggle

Enter the play as normal. If Penalty is toggled on, once you tap Next on the yardage screen, you will (1) need to select which team the penalty is on and then (2) select the post-penalty yard line

If the penalty is declined, do NOT assign a team. Tap the red Decline button

If the Defense jumps offside, it may constitute a "free play" for the Offense

In a free play scenario, you need to select a Play Type (Rush/Pass) BEFORE selecting the Penalty Alert

• • MOST free plays (like the example video), the Offense will chuck a deep pass because there is no consequence for an incompletion or turnover, but it does not have to be

Enter the play as normal and enforce the penalty as necessary

As always, if the penalty is declined, do NOT assign a team. Tap the red Decline button

All "dead ball" and "after the play" penalties must be tagged onto the most recent play. They should NOT be their own play/event. It is good practice to wait on the Confirmation screen for ~3 seconds after each play to chart these correctly

The primary use cases for this will be Unsportsmanlike Conduct, Unnecessary Roughness, and Taunting. Be on the lookout for situations where this can occur, especially in rivalry games

Utilize Ref Event > Penalty on the Confirmation screen

Due to the nature of these penalties, there will be instances where Banjo will output the incorrect down and distance. You MUST manually change this on the field map to reflect the current state of the game. The referee will always tell you what the new Down and Distance will be

Pre-snap penalties where the play is killed before it starts (i.e. False Start, Encroachment, Delay of Game, Too Many Men on the Field/in Formation) will still have their own No Play Penalty

Logically, a play can only go Under Review BEFORE the next play is snapped. Therefore, you should only utilize this function on the Formation or Play Design Screen

DO NOT EVER utilize the Under Review option from the Confirmation screen. Even if it's obvious that the play will be overturned, you MUST confirm each play exactly as it was originally ruled

If the play is overturned, you will be prompted to re-enter the previous play with the new ruling

If the call on the field "stands" or is "confirmed" select the Confirm button

It is crucial to your success as a live scout that you know how to do this. Incorrect reviews will dramatically affect your accuracy incentive(s)

By rule, every targeting penalty is reviewed

Utilize the Under Review process exactly as you would for any other type of play

Confirm the play as it is initially ruled on the field > Ref Event > Under Review

If overturned, enter the new, correct ruling on the field with or without the targeting penalty

Now it's your turn! Select a game from Training Banjo and enter this play completely, then overturn it, just like you would if you were at the game

Don't forget to set up your field map correctly

Don't worry about time & score or who represents which team. The important thing here is to get the reps and practice

NOTE: The referee's mic is broken, but it will be obvious what the overturned result is. The radio announcers are on it as well
