Rules »
<back Scoring No field goals, why kicking was ever a part of football is beyond me. Touchdowns are worth a point. No safeties. Starting the Game The game will be started with a coin toss. The winner elects to kick or receive and whoever kicks off gets the ball in the second half. There are no actual kick offs, the team with the ball will start on their own 20 yard line. Overtime Rules A coin toss will determine possession. Rules will be "Texas Shoot-Out" style. Each team will get 4 tries from the defenses 20 yard line to punch the ball in. If you score first you have to then stop the other team from scoring to win. If you don't score and the other team scores on their possession or they score on a turn over then they win. Teams will play until there is a winner. |

| Time Clock and Timeouts » <back | |
|
Time Clock The Home Team is responsible for having a time device to keep track of the game. We will play 2 periods each 30 minutes. There will be a 10 minute Half Time. The clock will run automatically until the 2 minute warning. Under 2 minutes in each period the clock will stop for incompletion, timeouts, and if a player runs out of bounds or is pushed out of bounds. Timeouts Each team will have 2 timeouts in each period. Time outs are 90 seconds long. |

| The Field » <back | |

The game will be played on a regulation football field using the
sideline and the far hash marks for the boundaries.

 |
| Possession and Punting » <back | |
|
Offense The offense needs to move the ball 10 yards in 4 downs or they will turn the ball over to the other team. If you decide to punt on 4th down (we don't actually punt) the ball will be spotted 45 Yards from the line of scrimmage pushing the defense back. If you have the ball on or within the 45 Yard Line a punt will result in pushing the defense back half the distance to the goal line. For example: if you have the ball on the 30 yard line and want to punt you would be pushing the defense back to the 15 yard line.

| Penalties » <back | |
Blatant penalties will usually result in down over and the team opposite
the offender will have the option of course to decline. Below are
a list of penalties that will result in down over.
Pass interference will be a judgment call between the receiver and defender. This penalty will move the offense forward 10 yards and give them an automatic first down. If the offense is within the 10 yard line the ball will be marked off halfway to the goal line. Penalties for personal fouls.
