A team may play with six (6) players, but their opponent may choose to play with seven (7). If a team has five (5) or fewer players on the field at the start of their scheduled game time, they must forfeit the game. No team may recruit players from a different team to supplement their roster. An offense may have 8 players in the huddle, as long as the 8th player exits the huddle, raises his/her hand while leaving the field, and clears the field before his/her team’s next play begins. If this fails to happen, the result is a penalty for too many players on the field. EQUIPMENT: All players MUST wear flags at all times. A player’s flags must be worn outside or on top of shirts, sweatshirts or team jerseys and be clearly visible to opposing players and referees. Failure to do so may result in a penalty. Team jerseys will be issued to each player. Players may wear other tops of identical color rather than the jersey; however, an opposing team may require the player to wear the provided jersey if they feel the alternate top does not adequately distinguish the player. Players cannot wear outer garments that have pockets or belt loops of any kind. Hoodies must have the hood tucked under jersey while on playing field. Any metal brace must be covered during play. FOOTBALLS: Teams will provide their own footballs. Games are played with footballs of “collegiate”, “professional”, or “official” sizes. All balls must be properly inflated and approved by the referee. The referee will decide whether the ball meets the specifications or may authorize substituting a non­sanctioned ball. CONTACT: All efforts must be made to reduce heavy contact. Tackling a player involves a motion to de­flag ONLY. Any other motion to obstruct a player’s motion is ILLEGAL. ANY CONTACT other than de­flagging against a passer in a passing motion is a penalty. Charging, running through an opposing player who has position on the field, on either offense or defense is illegal. DIVING: “Diving” qualifies as a body motion in any direction where ones advance results in the ball carrier landing on the ground and not on one’s feet. Remaining upright and leaping into the air to advance the ball is legal provided no contact is made with a defending player who had position prior to the leap. Contact will result in an offensive charging penalty. A player may not dive forward to advance the ball in any instance. You may not dive on or towards the ground to advance the ball. Diving to catch or deflag is legal provided normal contact rules apply. Diving into a player to deflag is roughing. Illegal diving is a 10 yards penalty. PUNTS: No kicks. The opposing team takes possession on its own 5. DEFLAGGING: Deflagging occurs when the clasp of the flag being worn by the ball carrier is judged by the Referee to have been unclipped by a defensive player. If a flag falls off inadvertently, play is still live until the player with the 22 ball whose flag fell off inadvertently (or was deflagged prior to possession) is “tackled” by one hand touch from an opposing player. Deflagging prior to possession is a defensive unnecessary roughness penalty. SNAPPER: Every play must start with a center snapping to another player. The snapper is eligible for receptions. RUSH: A defensive rush is allowed but must occur with a player that is 5 yards off the line of scrimmage. Once a defensive player located 5 yards off the line of scrimmage crosses the line of scrimmage, any defensive player can rush. FUMBLE: All fumbles are dead at the spot. If a ball is fumbled in mid­air, the defender may recover the ball before it touches the ground. Center snap missed by the QB is a dead ball at the spot of the first touch of the ground. ILLEGAL MOTION OR OFFSIDES BY THE OFFENSE: Illegal motion or offsides by the offense results in a dead ball. The play will be immediately blown dead by the referee and the appropriate penalty assessed. INADVERTENT WHISTLE: In the event of an inadvertent whistle, the possessing team can select to take the ball at the spot of the ball at the time of the whistle, or simply replay the down. BALL SPOTTING: The position of the ball marks the line of scrimmage. (A players body is NOT where the ball is spotted, nor is the spot where the opposing player is standing when the de­flagging is made). The referee calls the ball spot and cannot be challenged. HUDDLE CLOCK: 30 seconds. This will not be further extended to allow exchanging for a selected football. PASS INTERFERENCE/ILLEGAL CONTACT: Pass interference is when a defensive or offensive player is obstructed from catching a “thrown ball.” Pass interference is not assessed when both players are making a play for the ball and have inadvertent, incidental contact. If feet get tangled inadvertently while running a route, there is no illegal contact or interference. Ball catch­ability negates pass interference. If defensive pass interference occurs in the end zone, the ball will be placed on the one­yard line with an automatic first down. Illegal contact is contact made during pass routes by either player, offensive or defensive, prior to a ball being thrown which obstructs either the running of a route or the allowance of coverage of that route. Ball catch­ability is irrelevant. An offensive player making contact with a defensive player past the line of scrimmage is illegal contact. “Contact picking” or blocking a defender off coverage of another receiver is illegal contact. An offensive player may, however, block a defensive player either after a ball is caught or after the ball carrier crosses the line of scrimmage. KNEE/FALL DOWN: If a player’s knee touches the ground or falls down while his flags are still on, he may get up and advance the ball until he is de­flagged. If the ball carrier, while still on the ground, is touched by an opposing player, 23 the ball carrier is considered de­flagged and the play will be blown dead. If the referee determines that the ball carrier is in an unsafe position, he or she may whistle dead without an actual “touch” by an opposing player. FUMBLE: All fumbles are dead at the spot. In the event a QB drops the snap, the ball is considered fumbled and will be spotted from the location of the drop. If a ball is fumbled mid­air, any player may recover the ball before it touches the ground and advance the ball. If a ball carrier uses his ball carrying hand to keep his body from contacting the ground, and the ball touches the ground but the carrier remains in control of the ball, the carrier is not down and the play continues. A CATCHABLE BALL: must be released and in the vicinity of an ascertainable receiver. OFFENSIVE PLAYER STEPS OUT OF BOUNDS: If an offensive player steps out of bounds, and it is NOT as a result of being pushed out by a defender, the player becomes an ineligible receiver unless and until the ball is first touched by another player on either team. For example, if Player A steps out of bounds (including out of the end zone) and then runs back in, they have made themselves an ineligible receiver. If they then catch a pass that is not first touched by another player on either team, it is ruled an incomplete pass. (There is no further penalty assessed.) PADDING: No pads allowed. EXCEPTION: To protect an injury. ONE RUN PER POSSESSION: Only 1 run is permitted per possession; all other plays must be pass plays. Note that extra point attempts after a touchdown constitute separate possessions, and therefore a new run play is available. RUN PLAYS: A run play occurs when any player advances the ball across the line of scrimmage by running; this includes forwarded passes caught behind the line of scrimmage and subsequently run across. In comparison, a pass play occurs when the ball is passed over the line of scrimmage. PASSING: A legal forward pass requires that both feet of the throwing player are behind the line of scrimmage. Any individual down may not have more than one forward pass in its execution. RECEPTION: One foot in bounds for legal reception. BLOCKING: No contact above shoulders or below waist. You may not leave your feet to block. No high/low blocks allowed. 5 yard chuck on pass coverage is allowed. SCORING: ●
Touchdowns = 6 points ●
Extra Points = Ball placed on 5 yard line, if run or passed in, 1 point. Ball placed on 10 yard line, if run or passed in, 2 pts (in either case, a return by the defense to the opposing teams end zone equals 2 points for the defense). ●
Safety = 2 points (ball taken mid­field by opponent) 24 Flag Football Quiz

Quick Recap of Today’s Games Today was the second day of the flag football Round Robin Tournament, being played in Mr. Niemiec’s 2nd period PE class, and what a day it was. The day was jam­packed with a vast array of fierce and competitive matchups. If you are a fan of electrifying, heart­stopping action, this is the kind of stuff you wanna watch. Here’s a quick recap of today’s action. New Orleans Saints vs New England Patriots One of the first games of the day included the Saints and the Patriots. Both teams were coming off of a 1­1 start and were hungry for a victory. The game started with a bang, when QB Michelle Obama found WR Jared Bauman for a 50 yard TD of the first play of the game. The Saints would go on to tie it up with a lengthy drive that included big plays from QB Mike Tyson and RB Hermione Granger. The Patriots would end up holding onto the victory, with the final scoring being 34­24. “We really enjoyed getting this victory today.” ­ Sue Flay Cincinnati Bengals vs Minnesota Vikings The other game that was being played included the Bengals and the Vikings. The Vikings came in with an unscathed 2­0 record and the Bengals 1­1. This one was a defensive battle. The teams had a tough time getting into the end zone in the first half, with the Bengals leading 13­7, and it didn’t get any easier in the second. It came down to a final minute TD scored by WR David Zaldivar that gave the Vikings the victory, with a final score of 21­13. Cincinnati Bengals vs New Orleans Saints The second round of games began with the Bengals and the Saints. With both teams coming off of heartbreaking defeats, a victory was strongly desired by both. Both teams showed extraordinary sportsmanship and effort throughout the entire game, and the Bengals came out victorious with a final score of 22­6 on the back of QB Muhammad Fareeq­Mourad. Arizona Cardinals vs New England Patriots The other second round game of the day was the most entertaining of them all. This game came down to the final minute. With :34 remaining in the game, the Cardinals had possession, down by 5. The Cardinals marched down the field and scored at the final whistle 36 with QB Ted Williams connecting with WR Vicki Valencourt for the game­winning 5­yard score. Final Score: 41­40. “I can’t believe we won on the last play!” Ibraham Moizoos Side Note: Let’s not forget about the duty teams today. They did a phenomenal job in recording stats, officiating the games, and motivating the players. Keep it up!
