ATLANTA — The NFL-CFL officiating exchange program is continuing for a third straight year.

NFL senior vice-president of officiating Al Riveron told Postmedia on Tuesday at the league’s annual spring owners meeting that the cross-border swap of select officials already has begun for 2018.

Four officials from each league are attending the other league’s pre-season development meetings to discuss matters such as new rules, interpretations and fine points on the mechanics of calling plays. They will then work the other league’s training camps and pre-season games.

“I know our NFL officials are working CFL pre-season games (in June), but I’m not sure about regular-season games,” Riveron said during a midday break in the league meetings, scheduled to conclude Wednesday afternoon at a Buckhead hotel.

“And CFL officials are going to come down and work our preseason games in August again, yes.”
