Note: PLEASE ADJUST YOUR RSVP IF YOUR STATUS CHANGES. This is to ensure accurate headcount. HABITUAL NO-SHOWS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. 2) The 1st 14 people that RSVP & show up on time for the first game will play 7-on-7 (adjustments made as more players arrive). If the quantity exceeds 18, then 3 teams will be formed with the last team comprising of players that showed up the latest. If the quantity reaches 28, 4 teams of 7 will be formed where 2 games will be played simultaneously. LATE ARRIVALS WILL BE ASKED TO EITHER SUBSTITUTE OR WAIT FOR A LATER GAME. GENERAL RULES AND GUIDELINES We are generally a very light contact group, meaning that you are to avoid contact in most situations (exceptions include playing offensive/defensive line, bumping between receivers/defense within first 5 yards & appropriate blocking) The contact should still not be too aggressive, as we are trying to avoid injuries. A play is dead once the flag belt has been grabbed; is forced off by another player (the ball is spotted where the flag initially comes off); if the belt comes off by itself, then a after 1 hand touch; if the player doesn’t have a flag, was tagged with 2 hands; or both knees hit the ground. There are no fumbles in order to avoid potential injuries. If a player fumbles, then the ball is dead at the spot of the fumble (except on a lateral, which will result in a 5-yard penalty). Regarding change of possession, there are no kickoffs or punts. The offense starts at the 5-yard line after a score and 20-yard line on a punt or touchback. We do have cones but not actual sidelines painted on the fields. Therefore, the player will be considered inbounds or be given the first down on close calls. If you are the receiver, you need 2 feet inbounds for a completed catch. Motion is allowed for any one eligible receiver, but that player can only run laterally and cannot move forward until the ball is snapped. On a safety, ball stays at the goal line and the next down will be played. Stiff arming, flag guarding, and hand slapping are NOT ALLOWED, & ball is spotted at the foul. Multiple offenses will result in additional 5-yard penalty. Blocks in the back are NOT ALLOWED Offensive lineman are not allowed to pull...must remain in the box or engaged with defensive lineman. Defensive lineman must lineup in the box with the offensive lineman. On an OBVIOUS offensive pass interference, the penalty is 5 yards & repeat down. On an OBVIOUS defensive pass interference, the penalty is 5 yards & repeat down. VERY IMPORTANT: All players MUST avoid contact and CANNOT under any circumstances lower your shoulders and/or try to initiate contact with another player. WE ARE ALL ADULTS & OBVIOUSLY CAN'T FORCE ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING. WE NEED EVERYONE'S COOPERATION TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE RULES & GUIDELINES TO KEEP THE GAME FUN, COMPETITIVE. IF FOR ANY REASON YOU DISAGREE, YOU ARE WELCOME TO PLAY ELSEWHERE.
