At the beginning of the game, the captain winning the coin toss has the choice of: a. Ball possession, defense, or goal they will defend. If winning captain chooses possession or defense, the losing captain has choice of which goal to defend. 3. The game shall be played between two teams of 7 players each (co-rec is 8). A team needs at least 5 players (co-rec is 6) to start and end the game. 4. The game shall consist of two, 18-minute halves. The clock will start on the snap of the first play. It will run continuously until the final two minutes of the 1 st half, and final two minutes of the 2 nd half (unless it is stopped for an injury, team timeout or referee s timeout). 5. Each team has two timeouts per half. Timeouts last no more than 30 seconds and do not carry over. 6. The team area shall be two yards from the sideline and between the 20-yard lines. This rule will be enforced. 7. Adjustment for Spring CoRec ONLY League: Game will consist of two, 15-minute halves. Clock will stop on every whistle in final two minutes of EACH half.

2 UOVERTIME (PLAYOFFS ONLY) There will be no overtimes during the regular season. When a game ends in a tie, then the overtime procedure will be as follows: 1. A coin flip will determine which team has the ball first. 2. The ball is placed on the 10-yard line and the team with the ball first has four downs to score. 3. The other team then gets four downs to score from the same 10-yard line. 4. Play continues until one team scores and the other team doesn t (extra-points included). UCOREC RULES A CoRec game is played between eight players of both teams, split into four males and four females each. Minimum to begin a contest is six players (4M/2F, 3M/3F or 2M/4F). There are some specific rule changes for the CoRec game: 1. No male runner may advance ( run ) the ball through the line of scrimmage. This includes via a run, handoff or completed pass caught behind the line of scrimmage. 5 Yard Penalty. 2. Open and Closed Plays a. A new series will always begin Open (i.e., anything goes except male advancement through the line of scrimmage). A male-to-male completion beyond the line of scrimmage makes the next play Closed. b. Closed plays must include a female passer, receiver or both for a completed pass beyond the line of scrimmage. Female involvement in a play (as listed above) for positive yardage re- Opens the next play. c. At any time a female runner may run or advance the ball through the line of scrimmage. This does not re- Open a play. d. Plays are Open or Closed until positive yardage is gained in such a manner as listed above. e. A first down or touchdown is an extension of a team s possession. The Open and Closed continue to apply. 3. Points: Touchdowns are worth six (6) points. However, if a female is involved as a runner, receiver or passer, the touchdown is worth nine (9) points. USTOPPAGE OF THE CLOCK (FINAL 2 MINUTES) During the final two minutes of the fourth period, the clock will stop for: 1. Incomplete pass or illegal forward pass - starts on the snap. 2. Out-of-bounds - starts on the snap. 3. Safety - starts when the ball is snapped after extra point try. 4. Team time out - starts on the snap. 5. First down - if play ends in-bounds clock starts on referee s whistle, if out-of-bounds clock starts on the snap. 6. Touchdown - starts on the snap (after extra point try). 7. Penalty and administration - dependent on the previous play (usually on the snap). 8. Referee s time out - starts at his/her discretion. 9. Change of possession - dependent on the previous play (usually on the snap). 10. Team A is awarded a new series - starts on the snap. 11. Team B is awarded a new series - starts on the snap. UGENERAL RULES 1. The snapper must pass the ball from the ground with a quick and continuous motion of the hand(s) and can either snap the ball from between his/her legs or the side. Direct snaps (less than 2 yards; under center) are not allowed. 2. Any snap that hits the ground is dead at that spot. The player receiving the snap must be at least 2 yards behind the offensive scrimmage line; there are no direct snaps. 3. There must be at least 4 players (co-rec is 5) on the offensive scrimmage line at the time of the snap. Defensive players have no limit on the number of players needed on the scrimmage line. NOTE: On a punt, the kicking team must have the minimum number of players on their scrimmage line. The receiving team does not need a minimum number of players on the scrimmage line. 4. One offensive player may be in motion, but not towards the opponent s goal. A player in motion may be in motion anywhere behind the scrimmage line. Teams may use a shift, but all players must be in a set position for at least one second prior to the snap.

3 5. To be in the backfield, the player must not break the plane of the line that is drawn through the waist of the nearest player who is on the line of scrimmage. 6. Blocking must be done without the use of the hands or extended arms and in an upright position. A blocker s feet must be in contact with the ground with no other part of the blocker s body in contact with the ground. 7. Offensive players may not run through a blocker, they must run around the block. 8. A runner shall not charge into nor contact an opponent in his/her path nor attempt to run between two opponents or between an opponent and the sideline, unless the space is such as to provide a reasonable chance for him/her to go through without contact. If a runner in progress has established a straight line path, he/she may not be crowded out of that path, but if an opponent is able to legally establish a defensive position in that path the runner must avoid contact by changing direction. 9. There are no fair catches. UPOINTS OF EMPHASIS 1. The neutral zone is from the forward point of the football one-yard to Team B s scrimmage line and extended to each sideline. 2. Encroachment is the act of any player being in the neutral zone after the ball is ready for play, but before the ball is snapped. 3. The ball may be moved with approval by the Referee due to poor field conditions. 4. A team has four downs to reach the next zone line in order to receive another set of downs. The zone lines are 20 yards long and teams must reach the next zone, no matter what the starting position. In other words, the zone line to gain remains the same even if the team loses ground due to penalty or play. The zone line to gain is established when the ball is made ready for play on a first down. 5. A player has been deflagged when the flag belt becomes disengaged by another player. If a players flag belt inadvertently becomes disengaged, then a one-hand tag must be employed between the shoulders and the knees. 6. Forceful advancement, an attempt by the ball carrier to jump or leap over or run through an opponent in any position and at any location on the field IS NOT ALLOWED. The ball carrier may not push off, stiff arm, or etc., any player. If a player falls in front of the ball carrier and jumping could not be avoided, it will be considered inadvertent. 7. A whistle by the Referee will indicate the ball is ready for play. The offense must put the ball in play within 25 seconds from the whistle. 8. A team may ask for a protected scrimmage kick on any down, but they must notify Officials and the opposing team. A team may only change their decision by taking a timeout or end of period. The kicker can be anywhere behind his/her scrimmage line. 9. Substitutes may only enter the game between downs and replaced players must be off the field by the snap of the next ball. 10. Offensive players are responsible for retrieving the ball and returning it to the Referee when a pass is incomplete. 11. Teammates may not push, pull, or help the ball carrier in any way through physical contact. 12. Each team may use their own approved ball while on offense. In free kick/protected scrimmage kick situations, the team kicking determines what ball will be used. UPASSING RULES 1. A team is allowed one forward pass per play. The pass must be thrown from behind the line of scrimmage. Any player is eligible to catch the pass. 2. If a forward pass is caught simultaneously by two opposing players, then it is dead and belongs to the team that put the ball in play. If a backwards pass or fumble is caught simultaneously by members of opposing teams, then the ball becomes dead at the spot of the catch and belongs to the offensive team. 3. A quarterback is downed if he or she is legally de-flagged before the ball is released. 4. Two or more offensive players may touch the ball in succession, but the ball may not be batted forward. 5. A receiver must have control and at least one foot in bounds to define a legal catch. URULES ON FUMBLES AND MUFFS 1. If a player fumbles the ball, then the ball is dead where it hits the ground and is put in play from that spot. If it was fumbled forward, then it is put in play from where the possession was lost. 2. If the ball is fumbled into the air (does not touch the ground), then either team may advance it providing possession was gained while the ball was in the air.

4 3. A ball that is not fielded cleanly by a returner is called a MUFF. When a muff touches any player from either team and then hits the ground, the ball is dead and belongs to the receiving team. If it hits a player on the receiving team and then is caught in the air, it can be advanced by members of either team.
