Ten yards.

I did see one measurement. She said I came up a little short but we'd still give it a go.

We measured twice in the game I worked last night. Both were first downs by a few inches.

i was wondering because i had not seen one all year and had heard on a radio show that the networks are discouraging measurements because they slow down the games

Now that you mention it does seem less than previous years. Side judge is usually quick to signal first down and both sides just accept it. At least from watching college ball. Panthers killed my NFL time.
