Officials can stop the clock at their own discretion. e. Moving the Ball i. Offensive Plays Must All Be Passes! (No Run plays or Kicking/Punting) ii. Field is marked at 15 yard intervals with cones. (3 first downs without a penalty would result in a touchdown) iii. Possession always begins at the 45-yard line at the right hash mark for 5 th and 6 th Grades and placed on the 30-yard line for 3 rd and 4 th grades. Hash mark placement of the ball must be enforced by officials, in accordance with NCAA rules, once the ball has been advanced. iv. No penalty will be assessed in excess of the 45-yard line. On an unsuccessful or successful offensive play from the 45 yard line resulting in an offensive penalty: The ball will be returned to the 45 yard line and THE NEXT SUCCEEDING PLAY WILL BE FORFEITED. I.e. 1st down will become 2nd down; 2nd down will become 3rd down; and 3rd down will result in a turnover. v. Offenses always move in the same direction vi. No Double Passes are allowed. vii. Once a forward pass has been thrown, a backward pass (lateral) is allowed.
7 viii. Should a swing pass not cross the LOS and a defensive player tags the ball carrier behind the 45-yard line, it is a safety. f. Scoring i. Touchdown: 6 points ii.

(Excessive force by shoving, pushing, or striking a blow will be penalized by automatic first down and 5 yards. Expulsion of a player(s) if ruled unsportsmanlike & flagrant). iii. Fumbles are dead balls at the spot with the last team retaining possession. A muffed snap is not a fumble/dead ball. The second count remains in effect on snaps. iv. Two delay of game penalties in the same possession results in a turnover. v. Any offensive penalty on the extra point try results in a turnover. vi. The QB is allowed 5.0 seconds to throw the ball for 5 th and 6 th Grade and 6.0 seconds for 3 rd and 4 th grade. The Official timekeeper starts a stopwatch on the snap of the ball from center and stops the watch as soon as the QB releases the ball. vii. If release is under 5.0 or 6.0 seconds, the play goes on. viii. If the timekeeper sees that the clock has exceeded the seconds, he waits until the play is over (the play is not blown dead), then brings the ball back to the original line of scrimmage with loss of down. Play is live on a defensive interception after the 5.0 or 6.0 second count. (The timekeeper will be an official) ix. All penalties will be marked off on a 5.0 or 6.0 second count EXCEPT for pass interference. x. Defensive Pass Interference is the same as NCAA rules. (automatic 1st down & spot foul up to 15 yds) xi. Responsibility to avoid contact is with the defense. There will be NO chucking, deliberate bumping, or grabbing. These actions will result in a spot foul and 5 yd. penalty tacked on at the end of the play. xii. Offensive pass interference is the same as NCAA rules. (15-yard penalty) xiii. Interceptions may be returned ( no blocking rule applies). If an interception is returned beyond the 45-yard line (the offensive origination point) it is a touchdown and point after attempt should ensue. The teammates of the person who intercepted the ball may trail the runner so as to be in position to take a backwards pass. They may not block for or screen for the runner. xiv. Play is live on a defensive interception and may be returned for a touchdown. xv. Offensive team is responsible for retrieving and returning the ball to the previous spot or the new scrimmage spot in a timely fashion. Failure to do so can result in a delay of game penalty. xvi. The offensive center is not an eligible receiver (teams must have a center). The ball must be snapped from the ground between the snapper s legs. (mirror the game of football) xvii. The center will be responsible for setting or re-positioning the Referee s bean bag at the line of scrimmage. On change of possession, the team moving to offense will ensure the bean bag gets to the new scrimmage line. (centers on both teams responsible). xviii. No taunting or trash talking. (5-yard penalty & expulsion if flagrant). xix. The offense must gain at least 15 yards in the first 3 or less plays or the defense takes over. (There is no kicking). Four down territory occurs only after offense proceeds to or inside the 15-yard line cone (third quadrant). xx. Fighting: the player(s) involved will be ejected from the game and tournament. If a team fight occurs, the teams involved will be ejected from the tournament and denied participation in any/all state qualifying tournaments! They will also be disqualified from participating in the state tournament. Throwing a punch will be disqualification for that SQT.
8 xxi. xxii. Any dead ball foul on a play that results in the defense getting the ball and it is unable to be penalized back to the 50 yard line will result in a loss of down penalty. The defense, now the offense, would be starting play with 2nd down. There will be an area referred to as the tackle box that extends 3 yards on both sides of the center and extending 3 yards deep into the backfield. No eligible receiver may align within the tackle box. h. Receiving i. All players are eligible to receive passes except for the Center. ii. Only one player is allowed in motion at a time. iii.

A penalty of 10 yards will be assessed. k. SPORTSMANSHIP/ROUGHING i. If the field monitor or referee witnesses any acts of tackling, elbowing, cheap shots, blocking, or any unsportsmanlike act, the game will be stopped and the player will be ejected from the game. FOUL PLAY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED! ii. Trash talking is illegal. Officials have the right to determine offensive language. (Trash talk is talk that may be offensive to officials, opposing players, teams, or spectators). If trash talking occurs, the referee will give one warning. If it continues, the player will be ejected from the game. iii. UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED AT ANY TIME! Two official options: REMOVAL: The referee has the right to remove a coach or player from the game for minor infractions (REFEREE S DISCRETION), but the coach or player does not have to leave the facility/park.

EJECTION: Any player, coach, team manager or fan who displays any unsportsmanlike conduct, such as profane language or abusive language while playing, sitting in the stands, or coaching will be dealt with in the following manner: a) Any player, coach, team manager or fan ejected from a regular or post season scheduled game due to verbal abuse toward any assigned game official, player, or fan will draw a minimum of one (1) game suspension.
