GTOA - NCAA Football Officials


Welcome to the NCAA site for GTOA Football Officials!

Many GTOA football officials are working in the next level. This section of the GTOA website is being made available to share and publish all NCAA information that is provided for study and review. This will include camp/clinic information, rules study group information, schedules, important dates, events, locations & times. You may also check the GTOA Calendar links on the homepage as NCAA events will be published there as well. Pre-season and practice tests will be available and as the season begins, weekly tests will be posted.

This will be a very dynamic site for the NCAA officials. Information will be published here as soon as it is received and allow the GTOA NCAA Officials a place to find valuable information to help improve skills and prepare for each season.

CFO Website

The CFO now has a dedicated website where all information is located for college football officiating. This site contains documentation, information, video, and on-line testing that is critical to successful officating at the NCAA level. You must register with the site to enable access to all features. It is highly recommended that all college football officials register to begin receiving the information on-line and not having to wait for a clinic to have the information distributed. Upon registration, you will receive a "welcome kit" that has initial documentation, video and CFO patches for your uniform.

!! Tulsa Area NCAA Officials Meetings !! Assignments (for Tulsa-Area NCAA Officials)

Our monthly rules/philosophy meetings are now taking place. We are meeting once a month throughout off-season at 6:30pm on the middle Wednesday of the month (or as close as we can get!). The meeting place is subject to change occasionally. Update e-mails will be sent to area NCAA officials regarding meeting agendas and locations. When you receive the notifications, if someone has been left off of the list, please forward to the appropriate people.

Agendas will include film review, test review, rules discussions, mechanics, philosophy and general situations that have occurred during the season. This is a very important aspect of becoming a successful official at the next level or continuing to officiate at the next level.

The next meeting is scheduled for:

Wednesday, March 17th at 6:30pm at Todd Ragsdale's office.

Mechanics are a key part of your game. It is always beneficial to study mechanics and differences that you may have to work with. The Reno camp is a very popular camp for officials nationwide. They use a specific set of mechanics for their camp that has been developed over the past 12 years. Ken Rivera has provided these mechanics to publish and review.

2010 Pre-Season Tests & Rules Information

The 2010 Pre-Season Practice tests are now available. These are intended to get you preparing for this years' football season. It is imperative to study and review all practice tests that are provided by the NCAA. As you attend your clinics this year, you MUST pass the moderated, written test that is given at your respective clinic. In some conferences, if you do not pass, you do not officiate. Get those rule books open.
