Legit question for those that have real world FOOTBALL officiating experience.

When two officials both come in from their side to mark, spot the ball and there is a clearly a difference of 6 to 12 inches, how is the difference resolved?

Game of inches, but spots by competing, differing guesses, estimates, approximations intrigue.

Clearly there was a different view, but they quickly resolve, keep things moving. There seems TV time pressure to quickly make the spot, keep things moving. Does one official have more authority? Do they split difference? Does the stronger personality control?

Thx in advance. I will hang up and listen
