Please note the following:
- Games are played with two 12 minute halves.
- There will be no halftime. Teams will immediately switch direction for the second half.
- Each team will receive ONE 30 second time out per GAME.
- The clock WILL NOT stop in the final minute of the second half.
- Both halves will use a running clock. Use your timeout wisely!

- All coaches must be off the field prior to the snap of the ball. EXCEPTION: K/1 Division, offensive coaches may remain on the field as long as they are out of the way of play.
In bracket play, Sudden Death overtime format will be used:
o A coin toss determines possession.
o The ball will be spotted at the 5 yard line. Teams will be driving towards midfield.
o Each team will receive two plays to go as far as they can.
o The team that gains the most yards, wins.
o If tied after Sudden Death, the process will be repeated.
o Interceptions cannot be returned in overtime.
o If there is an interception on a team’s first attempt, this will result in 0 yards total for that team, they will not get a 2nd attempt.
o If there is an interception on a team’s second attempt, this will result in 0 yards for that attempt, but the team’s yardage on their 1st attempt will still count.A $495 donation will be required per team to participate in this event.
