The league will use Flag Football Federation Rules Book. Any changes to the rules will be listed below.
Game Times : Games will consist of (2) 25 minute halves. The clock will sound to signal the last minute
of the 1st half and the last 2 minutes of the 2nd half. The Refs will keep this time on their watch.
No grace period will be given. Teams must have 5 players to make the game legal. Teams will
be assessed a 7 point penalty for every 5 minutes of game time started late.
Tie Games: A coin toss will give winner a choice of offense or defense to start. Each team will get a
set of 4 downs from the 10 yard line. After a touchdown a team may go for 1 or 2 points. An
interception returned for a touchdown will result in a touchdown and a win for the scoring team.
After each round if the score is still tied you reverse the order of possession and start again.
Key Penalties… pass interference, roughing the passer, and any personal foul will result in the
yardage being stepped off and a new set of 4 downs.
There are no onside kicks. If the kick goes out of bounds the receiving team may have the ball at the point
where the ball went out or rekick with a 5 yard penalty.
If a kick off or any other ball is muffed or fumbled, the ball is dead at that point. This also includes the snap
from center on offensive plays or punts. (One bounce the play will continue)
Time Outs: Each team is entitled to 3 time-outs per game. A time-out requested by the field
captain shall not exceed 1 minute. After a team's 3 time-outs have been used, subsequent
requests by its field captain may be allowed only for the benefit of a designated injured player
who must leave the game for at least one scrimmage down.
A (30) second clock will be used for all plays to take place from referee's whistle to the snap of the ball.
Inadvertent Whistle: When a player is in possession, the team may choose to accept the play at that point or
choose to replay the down. If the ball is loose and before hitting the ground the down is replayed.
Motion: All offensive players may be in motion at all times with the exception of the center, the man on
his right, & the man on his left. These 3 are ineligible & may not move until the ball is snapped.
Kicking: The punter cannot be rushed. Offensive team and three defensive players cannot
release until the ball is kicked. A 5 second limit to kick the ball away or a delay of game penalty.
One foot must be inbounds on the sidelines and in the end zone.
Extra Points: A 1 point conversion from the three yard line, and a 2 point conversion from the 6 yard
line will be used after a touchdown. Team captain will notify the officials of their decision. (1 or 2)
