As a first year ref, this makes me happy.

One of the easier ways to judge is to picture a 1" stripe on the crown of the ball and see if the intake encroaches on that stripe. If the word FIRST that is printed on each ball is placed at the top in line with the center stripe it is even easier to judge.

Gonna have to remember this, and possibly this is something that should be passed on to other refs...
