Football rules

Be Fair ! Play with your age group.  If someone wants to "Play Up" that is acceptable.  No players are allowed to play down.   

Each tournament, all participating teams will be required to submit a signed roster prior to the start of their first game.  If a team is found to be playing with an illegal player, the player(s) will be removed immediately and the team will forfeit any game(s) an illegal player participated in. The reason there is no disqualification is because that would affect other teams in the tournament, costing them games.

Players may not play for or be on the roster for two teams in the same division.

Repeated violation of the age requirements could result in removal.

In addition to the roster, every team needs to have copies of birth certificates for all rostered players. These will be used to verify players’ ages. Failure to produce a birth certificate will lead to the player in question being ruled illegal.

Football Games: 40 minutes, (2) 20 minute halves + clock stoppage under 2 minutes at end of game if score is within 1 Touchdown.  Half time: 5 minutes, 2 timeouts per half.  Referee can stop clock at his discretion for disputes or injury.  If game is tied at end of regulation we will go to sudden death from the 10 yard line, passing only.  Each team gets 1 opportunity.
