How do NFL officials get their number?

Answer 1

The official rules generally state that the numbers are randomly chosen for the officials by the NFL. Or, (if wanted) you could choose a specific number yourself with permission from an NFL staff member.

Answer 2

In the FA Cup the teams get a number depending on when they were drawn in the last round. For example: Burnley vs. Port Vale was the first 3rd round tie to be pulled out therefore the winner of the tie will be number 1 for the next draw. Coventry City vs. Crystal Palace was the next tie so number 2 will be the winner of that tie. This goes on until they reach the last number. In the next round it is exactly the same so if for example the first tie was number 1 burnley and number 2 crystal palace the winner would be number 1 for the next draw and so on until the competition ends. If any new teams enter they are placed alphabetically before the teams form the last round. For example:

Third Round Numbers:

1 Arsenal

2 Aston Villa

and so on until number 44 where the last premier league or championship team is alphabetically in place. Then the contestants from the last round so if Huddersfield were first out in round 2 they would be number 45 in this round as the alphabetical teams come first. I am only 13 so thank u for reading

Answer 3

quarterbacks are normally 1-19
running backs 20-40
fullbacks 30-49
wide receivers 80-89
linebackers 50-59
defensive linemen and linebackers 50-79
defensive backs 20-40

of course there are exceptions

Answer 4

It depends on what organization they're part of and what position they play. Little leagues or school leagues (including colleges) wear mixed numbers, but I've never seen specialty players (players who touch the ball) wear anything over 49. At my high school, coaches didn't care as long as you fit in the jersey. Traditionally in the NFL, the single digit and lower double digit numbers (10-19) numbers are used for Quarterbacks, Punters and Kickers. Running backs, Full backs, Safeties, and Defensive backs generally use the numbers 20-49. Linebackers always wear numbers 50-59. The offensive linemen wear numbers 60-79. Wide Receivers and Tight ends traditionally wore only the numbers 80-89, but more and more wide receivers today are wearing the lower double digit numbers as well (11-19), but there is one receiver I know that wears 23. (Devin Hester for the Chicago Bears). Lastly, the defensive linemen typically wear 90-99.

The NFL's Rule 5, Section 1, Article 2 gives the number ranges for each position.
