## RULES:

## 1. Fouls

• Call your own fouls if you’re fouled.
• Host may also call fouls if clearly seen.
• HOST HAS FINAL SAY ON ALL TOUGH CALLS.

## 2. Free Kicks

• Opposing players must give 6.5 meters on all free kicks.
• Host raises one arm to signal an indirect free kick.

## 3. Handball Rules (Very Important)

### Inside ~5 meters of goal:

• Shot going toward goal + handball → automatic goal.
• Ball that might go in OR might go over the goal within 1 meter + handball → automatic goal
(spin/curve can change the ball’s path last second).
• Pass (not a shot) + handball → indirect free kick.

### Outside 5 meters of goal:

• Handball = direct free kick.
• Last defender cannot use hands at all.

Any hand use away from the body on a shot = goal.

## 4. No Penalties / No Corners

• No penalty kicks.
• No corner kicks (small goals cause overcrowding and no real advantage).
• Ball out over goal line → goal kick.

## 5. Sliding Rule (Safety First)

• No sliding near players.
• Sliding allowed only if nobody is close (example: saving a goal).

## 6. Player limits

• We will limit to 16 total plus Google employees on this Thursday game.
