1. A player can only be on 1 roster per tournament.
2. Each team will have 7 players on the field at a time.
3. No timeouts. Game is played with a 25-minute running clock — no stoppages.
4. The offense will start each possession at the 35-yard line.
5. If the offense turns the ball over on downs, or interception, the other team will take over and start the next possession at the 35-yard line.
6. All defensive players not in the game must be on the sideline. The offensive team may have one coach in the huddle. No coaches are allowed in the defensive secondary.
7. Any fumble is downed where the fumble occurs.
8. It is the responsibility of each coach to practice good sportsmanship and enforce it with their own players.

9. The offense must use someone to snap the ball if in SHOTGUN.
10. Only 5 players allowed to go out for a pass. Center is ineligible.
11. The offense has 25 seconds to huddle, call a play, and snap the ball from the time the ball is spotted. Time is held on the tee.
12. The offense has 4 seconds to get rid of the ball. A sack will be the same as an incomplete pass.
13. The offense can earn one first down by getting to the 15-yard line. They have 4 downs to get to the 15-yard line and another 4 downs to score.
14. One run play per game is allowed and must include a QB exchange. The QB is not eligible to run the ball.
15. No laterals to a teammate after the throw.
16. Unsportsmanlike sideline conduct is a 15-yard penalty.

17. Each team is allowed 1 blitz per game. Blitz must be 3 yards above or to the side of the tee — you cannot line up on the tee for a blitz. If a blitz occurs twice in one game or an illegal blitz occurs, the offense will get an automatic first down and the team loses their blitz for that game. No blitzing on the 35-yard line is allowed — if a team blitzes on the 35, it’s automatic 15 yards and a first down, and the blitz is lost. No blitzing in overtime.
18. Bumping is allowed ONLY within 5 yards; re-routing or disrupting crossing routes is prohibited. The defender may not hook, clamp, grasp, encircle, or hold the receiver — doing so is a foul. Once the ball is in the air, standard pass interference rules apply. (Test run — if bumping becomes an issue or involves excessive force, we’ll revert to a no-contact approach.)

19. Defensive pass interference will result in a first down for the offense at the spot of the foul.
20. Defensive pass interference in the endzone will result in a first down at the 3-yard line. PI on extra point play will be half the distance to goal and repeat down.
21. Any foul within or beyond 5 yards will be deemed “Illegal use of hands,” with the offense choosing either the play’s result or a 5-yard penalty from the previous spot and a replayed down.
22. There is no blocking down the field by the offense. This will result in a penalty and will be the same as an incomplete pass.
23. Offensive pass interference is a penalty. Any offensive penalty is loss of down, move ball back to original spot.
24. False start penalty is a loss of down.

• • Touchdown = 6 points. After a touchdown, the offense can choose to have the ball placed at the 3-yard line for a 1-point conversion or the 7-yard line for a 2-point conversion. Ball placed in the middle of field.
• • Interception = 3 points.

Each team will start at the 5-yard line and have 1 play to score. If you score, you can go for one or two points. Process continues until you have a winner. Game over on an interception.
