	I tested this in Chrome, Firefox and IE, and had no problems. I'm really limited on the layout and implementation with the picture. Try zooming in/out on the page to have the picture show up. If it becomes a problem for a lot of people, i'll redo the picture.

	redo it please i had the same issue

	possible acceptions for 20: juggle/bobble/no possession

	-I added suggestions for #20 from reicherm -I reduced the picture's dimensions to fit better on the screen (I was trying to avoid this so that the refs wouldn't appear too small)

	Please get motion gifs. Half the signals require hand movement.

	tokar, i was going for flash, but opted for the classic jay peg format

	for #6 you should accept "illegal man downfield" because that's what referees say most often.

	kposs12:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 19:46 GMT	5 points
	#9 should accept "Illegal Participation" and #16 should accept "Illegal Block in the Back."

	You've forgotten an 'r' in #6. Good quiz.

	lcdavis37:	Jan 22nd, 2010 at 18:46 GMT	2 points
	#9 might also include illegal substitution, and #16 has an unnecessary "d". Good job!

	bigr4:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 14:40 GMT	3 points
	Good quiz I really liked it. for #1 maybe accept "stop clock"

	gustavpolo:	Aug 24th, 2011 at 01:18 GMT	3 points
	Accept "stop the clock" (because the same signal is used to stop the clock for reasons other than a team calling a timeout) and "passing interference"

	He was giving him the business.

	myphonesucks:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 01:52 GMT	1 point
	all of these except 14 happen when my fantasy guys score a touchdown

	TheBigE1980:	Sep 8th, 2011 at 07:33 GMT	1 point
	I second kposs12's suggestion and also the first suggestion of lcdavis37. Great quiz! (I officiated football for 7 years, by the way. I loved this.)

	I did a sporcle search for a game like this, thanks for making it. If you're still out there (or anyone remakes this), the picture for #2 looks to me like the Ref blowing a whistle... maybe add a touch of text such as "downward motion" with some of the signals which require arm/hand motion of the ref? With some tweaks a game like this should be published during football season

	kcarney:	Jan 25th, 2012 at 20:40 GMT	1 point
	#1 should be STOP CLOCK, the same thing is done when a player goes out of bounds and in many other occasions.
