• Game time is forfeit time. Men's and Women's teams must have at least 5 players present and ready to play to start a game and Co-Rec teams must have at least 6 players to start a game.

• There should be no conflicts for men’s, women’s and co-Rec during pool play. When we get to elimination play, conflicts may occur. If they do occur, players involved in those game conflicts must choose a team. There will be no rescheduling/flip-flopping of games.

women’s competition and six (6) players for Co-Rec competition. Start of the Game

• A game will begin with a coin toss. Options for the coin toss are given to the winner and those choices are: offense, defense, choose a side to defend, or defer your choice to the 2nd half.

Substitutions

• Players may enter or leave the game an unlimited number of times. Substitutions may only enter during dead ball periods.

Scoring

• Touchdown = 6 points men’s and women’s play • Touchdown = rushing or passing by a female or passing a touchdown involving a female

either throwing or receiving in Co-Rec competition = 9 points • Safety = 2 points • Try from 3 yard line = 1 point • Try from 10 yard line = 2 points • Try from 20 yard line = 3 points • Return of intercepted try = 3 points

Mercy Rule

• If a team is 19 points (25 points in Co-Rec) or more ahead when the two minute warning during the 4th period, the game is over. If the 2 minute warning is given and a try needs to be made following a score, play out the un-timed down before evoking the mercy rule.

• The same rule applies if a team scores inside the final two minutes with this differential.

Pool Play Tie-Breaker • The official order of finish in qualifying pool play shall be determined by the Tournament

Director based upon the following criteria: • If a two-way tie exists, it will be decided by who beat whom in head-to-head competition.

9


Pool Play Tie-Breaker cont. • If a three-way tie exists, it will be determined as follows:

• Forfeit – The team that forfeits is dropped to the lowest possible position among the three or four tied teams.

• The difference between total points scored versus the total points allowed. • If two teams have the same point differential, then who beat whom in head-to-head

competition will determine playoff placement. • If all three teams have the same point differential, then the total points scored will

determine playoff placement. • If two teams have scored the same number of points, then who beat whom in head-to-

head competition will determine playoff placement. • If all three teams have scored the same number of points, then the fewest points allowed

will determine playoff placement. • If two teams have allowed the same number of points, then who beat whom in head-to-

head competition will determine playoff placement. Overtime

• In the event of a tie, a coin toss shall determine the first possession. • The same team calling the opening toss will call the overtime toss. • Options are given to winning captain of toss and those options are: offense, defense, or

choose side to play overtime on. • If multiple overtimes are needed, captain’s shall alternate choices but we will not move

from the starting side of the field. • Both teams shall play in the same direction. • Each team will be given four (4) downs from the same 10 yard line. • Extra points will be attempted as in regulation play. • If the defense intercepts the ball and returns it for a touchdown, the game is over.

• Each team is entitled one time out only during the entire overtime period.
