JAMBOREE RULES AND GUIDELINES
•
Football:
o A “Running Clock” format will be used for the Jamboree
- Each scrimmage will be (40) minutes in length with a “hard stop”
- Each team will play a (20) minute segment rotating from offense/defense; manage your
time effectively to maximize your play count
- Each team may use (1) timeout for each (20) minute segment; the only time the clock will
stop is during a timeout or injury timeout (official will call)
o The team listed as “HOME” on the schedule will begin play on offense first
o There will be no kick-offs or punts; play will begin on the (40) yard line
o Offense keeps the ball regardless of fumbles, interceptions, loss of downs, etc until allotted
time expires
o Down/distance is tracked for reference purpose only. There is no position change if on a loss
of downs nor will sideline “chains” be utilized
o The football is placed at the point of positive/negative yards after each play with negative
yards never backing a team up beyond the original starting point (40 yard line)
o Referees will officiate every game. This is the first working game for some of the youth
referees so please be patient and respectful as they "learn the ropes"

regular season by using a "game condition" format; Game scores will not be tracked or
posted nor will there be a team check-in requirement, as there is during regular season play.
