Game Rules

Field dimensions are 80 yards by 40 yards with 10 yard endzones, yard markings every 20 yards.
The ball will be placed on the 14 yard line after every touchdown.
A team shall have four consecutive downs to advance to the next zone line to gain (and earn a first down).
The zone line to gain in any series shall be the zone in advance of the ball, unless distance has been lost due to penalty or failure to gain.
A new series of downs will be awarded when a team moves the ball into the next zone.
Flag Belt Removal
When the flag belt is taken from the runner, the down shall end and the ball is declared dead. The spot of the ball is determined at the point where the clip of the flag belt becomes detached, not whre the belt falls to the ground. If a flag belt inadvertently falls off, a one hand tag between the shoulders and the knees constitutes a capture.
A player may leave their feet to remove a flag.
The ball becomes dead when
a legal deflagging occurs.
the ball carrier touches the ground with any part of their body other than the hands or feet.
a fumble hits the ground.
a snap from the center touches the ground. Officials descretion on the call.
Each member of the offensive team is eligible to receive a pass unless the player voluntarily goes out of bounds during the play.
The center, after assuming the position for the snap and adjusting the ball, may not move nor change the position of the ball in a manner simulating the beginning of a play. The ball must be snapped in one continuous motion, not necessarily between the centers legs, from the spot designated by the ball marker. The ball may be moved with approval by the official due to poor field conditions. The player receiving the snap must be 2 yards from the line of scrimmage during a scrimmage play and 1 yard from the line of scrimmage for a punt. Penalty Illegal procedure.
Before the snap, all offensive players must come to a complete stop for at least 1 full second. Only one offensive player may be in motion, and may not be moving towards the opponents goal line at the time of the snap. If two or more players go in motion before the snap, then this is considered a shift and all players must come set for one full second prior to the snap.
For a legal catch, a pass receiver must come down with at least one foot in bounds.
RushThe defense must line up at least 1 yard from the line of scrimmage. This is true even when the offensive team is less than one yard from the end zone or the zone line to gain.
All offensive players must be momentarily within 15 yards of the ball. It must be clear who the seven offensive players are on each play. The intent of this rule is to eliminate all sleeper or hideout plays. These plays will result in a 10 yard penalty for illegal participation.
Fumbles are dead when the ball touches the ground.
The ball is put into play at the point where the ball first touched the ground.
Any passed or fumbled ball that does not touch the ground may be advanced by any player catching the ball.
A ball fumbled into the offensive teams end zone will result in a safety. If the ball is fumbled into the opponents end zone the result is a touchback (opponents ball on their 15 yard line).
The ball is placed on the 14 yard line after a safety. The team receiving the 2 points for the safety will put the ball into play with a series of downs.
The ball is placed on the 14 yard line after a touchback. The team puts the ball into play with a series of downs.
Extra Point Attempts A try for three points will be taken from the 20 yard line. A try for two points will be taken from the 10 yard line. A try for one point will be taken from the 3 yard line. If the defense should intercept a pass, they may return it for a score. A score will equal three points, regardless of whether or not the attempt is for one, two, or three points. Tie score at the end of regulation during the playoffsThe field captains shall be brought together and a coin toss will be conducted. During the regular season, NO overtime periods shall be played. During the playoffs, the overtime format will be repeated until a winner is declared. The winner of the toss shall be given the option of either offense or defense. If additional overtime periods are necessary, captains will alternate choices. Each team will be given 4 downs from the same 20 yard line to score a touchdown. If the first team scores, then the second team will still have 4 downs to attempt to win or tie the game. If the defense intercepts the ball and returns it for a touchdown, the game will be over. If not, the ball will be placed at the 20 yard line to begin the series of four downs. Conversion attempts will be held as in regulation play. Each team is entitled to one time out per overtime period.
