Discounted 80% from other members, TASO member will receive full access to this leading rules and training site featuring video reviews, quizzes, bulletin updates and a searchable rules book; everything an official needs to improve this great game of football we all love.

During the season you 'll see bi-weekly game reviews posted by the leading college coordinators throughout the country. A terrific visual learning tool. TESTING The National Rules Test is currently available through July 7. The test is 100 questions which are grouped by play type. The testing interface is outstanding, showing questions that have been answered or viewed, and it can be taken in multiple sittings.

There is even a downloadable pdf for those that prefer to study before or after the test. Members are allowed two opportunities to merit a passing grade, and beginning August 1 you can see your results along with book references to help understand the ruling. Rogers Redding has challenged members to score at least 90 while taking the test 'closed-book.' Are you up for the challenge? During the season bi-weekly tests are available to help members stay honed and prepared. This is a great tool for crews and individuals alike and leads to great rules discussions with fellow officials.

SEARCHABLE RULES AND INTERPRETATIONS This rules database includes case books with easy reference between the two.

We welcome you back to the official website of College Football Officiating, LLC (CFO)! Our “central hub” provides a common national platform where we can gather for mutual growth and improvement, as we strive to improve the great game of college football. Allow me to give you a brief walk-through of the features of this site.

Is now available, and officials who register with the '2018 CFO Officials' registration will receive a Welcome Packet that includes a 2017-18 Rules and Interpretations Book, 2018 Instant Replay Case Book, and 2018 CCA Crew of 7 & 8 College Football Officiating Manual. In addition, ArbiterSports and Referee Enterprises will again provide a digital for all NCAA registered football officials. On the Tab, you will receive your in-season CFO Game Video Reviews, CFO/NCAA Annual Training Video and Instant Replay Training Video for 2018, and occasional topical videos. All registered officials will have opportunities this season to see plays posted by coordinators from conferences across the country, part of our mission to promote national consistency in collegiate football.

Additionally, all videos can be viewed on Apple and Android mobile devices. When available, the CFO/NCAA National Rules Test will be accessed by clicking on the tab. An email will be sent when it's open.

This is a great tool for honing your rules knowledge and application. I encourage you to meet my challenge of scoring 90% or higher (there are 100 questions) in a self-imposed “closed book” test. The searchable NCAA Football Rules and Interpretations book can be found on the Tab. The database includes rules and case books that basically operate as “e-books” and are searchable. The database also allows quick and easy reference between rules and their case items (and vice versa), which is a great feature. I encourage you to make extensive use of this asset, and discover for yourself the ways an online presentation can help you study and know the rules of NCAA football.

The ArbiterMobile app is now available at no cost to NCAA registered officials. Click here to read. Please check the central hub often for the latest officiating news and information. Officials should not hesitate to us to offer suggestions on how we can best use this site to help you. On behalf of the CFO’s Board of Managers, welcome to the organization, and have a great season!
