Rules of the Game We will use a modified version of the NFL FLAG 5v5 rulebook. Exception girls high school 7v7 will play with the Detroit Lions modified rules. Due to the time restrictions of this event, certain rule modifications may be in place (subject to change). Tentative tournament modifications • Two 12-minute halves • Each team is allowed (3) 30-second timeouts per game. • No overtime during round-robin play • Interceptions may be returned (except on an extra point attempt) • No “Replay of Down” rule in the 6U division • Rushing will only be allowed in the 9U + older divisions Special Rule Enforcement for 6U and 7U divisions: "NO RUN ZONES"  in the 6U and 7U divisions have been eliminated. You may run at anytime on the field. There is no 5 yard cushion for 6U and 7U divisions. However, teams may not cross the line of scrimmage until the ball has been handed off (as in every division). Coaches must be off the field prior to the snap (exception: 6U offensive coaches may remain on the field if they are out of the play) Special Rule Enforcement for HS girls divisions: All high school divisions will be played 7v7 using half of a regulation size football field. The ball will be spotted at the 40 yard line. Teams will have 4 plays to cross the 20 for a first down. Team will then have 4 plays to score. All turnovers will begin play at the 40 yard line.  Bracket Play Overtime (Sudden Death) • Coin toss determines first possession • Ball starts at the 5-yard line, driving toward midfield • Each team gets two plays; most yards wins • If tied, repeat the process • Interceptions cannot be returned in overtime • Interception on play 1 = 0 yards total for that team (no second play) • Interception on play 2 = 0 yards for that play; yards from play 1 still count
