1. A compensation foul in football. The officials sometimes "call" a foul on team B in order to make up for a
questionable foul against team A earlier in the game.
2. The unwritten law of refereeing: If you make a mistake that hurts team A, try to
make up for it by calling a foul against team B later in the game. Wait at least 3:00 on the game clock so the "comp call" isn't blatantly obvious.
3. A foolish attempt to "balance" the impact of poor officiating in a
high school football game.
