OVERALL

• 15 min games (or two 7 min halves)
• Once the buzzer goes there will be 5 plays left
• 6 vs. 6
• 1 point for a touchdown
• Teams can sub after any touchdown or turnover
• Rock-Paper-Scissors to determine who starts with the ball. Team starts with the ball at their ~5-yard line.

GAMEPLAY

• Teams have 4 downs per possession to get a touchdown. If they fall short, it results in a turnover from that line of scrimmage or down.
• Punts allowed on 4th down, giving the ball to the opposing team on their own 5 yard line

DEFENSIVE RULES

• Defence can't pass the line of scrimmage until a count of 6 steamboats
• If the defense passes the line prior to 6 steamboats then they cannot make a tackle and the QB can rush
• Play is dead at 10 steamboats if the ball has not crossed the line of scrimmage
• Interceptions are returnable

OFFENSIVE RULES

• QB can only rush the ball if a defender passes the line of scrimmage
• No direct handoffs, any laterals must be pitched. Any defender may rush once lateraled
• Once the ball has passed the scrimmage line, it cannot be passed forward. It can only be tossed or handed off backwards.
• The ball is dead when it hits the ground, the offensive player’s flag is pulled from their belt, the ball-carrier steps out of bounds, or the ball-carrier’s body—outside of their hands or feet—touches the ground
• If you have less than two flags when you catch the ball then the play is dead once caught and you cannot advance the ball further; this does not apply if the defense pulls your flag prior to the catch

TEAMS & STARTING

* 2 teams of 5 players.

* Start with a pull (throw-off). After a point or at halftime, the opposing team pulls again.

* A pull that lands in the field or end zone is played where it lands.

* A pull that goes out the back of the end zone can be brought to the center of the field, 3 paces forward of the end zone line.

* A pull that goes out the side is played from where it crossed out.

* A pull that is dropped is considered a turnover.

SCORING

* Score a point by catching the disc in the opposing end zone.

* If a player catches the disc just outside the end zone and momentum carries them in, it is not a score. They must step back to the line and continue play.

MOVING THE DISC

* No running with the disc.

* After catching, the player must stop as quickly as possible — up to 4 steps max.

* You have 7 seconds to throw the disc. If the defender counts too quickly, the count is reset to 0 and starts again.

* Defenders must stay at least one arm’s length plus one disc length away from the thrower.

TURNOVERS (CHANGE OF POSSESSION)

* The other team gains possession if:

* The disc hits the ground.

* A pass is intercepted.

* A pass goes out of bounds.

* The thrower exceeds the 7-second limit.

* The pull is dropped at the start of a point or game.

FOULS

* No physical contact — no pushing, hitting, or body blocks.

* A disc batted out of the handler’s hand is a foul. (However once the disc is released by the thrower, batting down is fair play and is a turn over)

* When a foul is called, the play is a re-do — return the disc to the thrower and resume play.

SUBSTITUTIONS

* Players can sub after a point is scored or in case of injury.

SPIRIT OF THE GAME

* No referees — call your own fouls honestly.

* Be respectful, play fair, and keep it fun.

Overall

• Format (No Goalies)
• Each team will have four/five players on the field at a time.
• Each game will be 12 minutes long with no halftime.

Subs

* Each team will have four/five players on the field at a time.
* There are no goalies.
* Substitutions can be made at any time.
* Players must fully sub off before the next player enters.
* Subs should occur near the center line.

Nets / Crease

* Games will use smaller pop-up nets (approx. 6 ft x 3 ft).
* The existing crease/box area in front of each net will be used as a protected area.
* *Defensive players may not stand or camp inside the crease.*
* Players may briefly enter the crease only to retrieve or play a loose ball.
* Goals scored from inside the crease do not count.
* A penalty shot will be awarded for any blocked shot in the crease (no goalie)

Out of Bounds

* Sideline out-of-bounds restarts are kick-ins from the spot where the ball crossed.
* If the ball goes out over the end line:

      Defending team restart = goal kick
     Attacking team restart = corner kick
     No throw-ins.

Offside

* There are no offsides.

Fouls / Free Kicks

* Play stops on fouls.
* Ball is placed at the spot of the foul.
* Free kicks are indirect:

      A second player must touch the ball before a goal can be scored.
     The player taking the kick cannot touch it twice in a row.

* Yellow card level foul (dangerous play / illegally stopping a goal scoring opportunity):
      Results in a penalty - the player sits off and the team must play with one less player for two minutes.

Overall

• Each team plays each other. Two inning games; rock, paper, scissors to determine Home Team

Rules

• Team pitches to own team
• Max three pitches, including foul balls, to get the ball in play
• Pitcher does not field and must get out of the way of batted balls. If batted ball hits pitcher, batter is out and play is dead (all runners return to their bases)
• Everyone bats and fields each inning; more attendance means more batters and fielders!
• Must play with a Catcher on defense
• Line to be drawn from the base to the fence in the dirt at home and first base. Runners should not step on home or first base (to avoid collisions) and instead should run through the line. Defensive players must still step on the base to record force outs.
• Last Batter is out if ball is caught in the air, otherwise defense must get all runners out or throw home to stop all runners. If ball is caught in the air, all runners must tag up before advancing. If ball is not caught in the air, all runners proceed home until they are recorded out or the Catcher has the ball on home plate.
• Dentonia Park rule – HR if ball is hit on the road in the air; ground-rule double if hit on the road on the ground or bounce. Cars are considered part of the road. No exception for last batter (runners can only advance two bases if hit on the road on the ground)

Overall

• Each team plays 3 games against each other team. 0.5 pts for a won game, extra 0.5 pts if you win the series against another team.

Rules

• Game starts with both teams touching their wall with the balls lined up on the center line. Ref says "go" and players run to get a ball. Once you pick up the first balls, you have to retreat back to touch your wall before you can throw it.
• A player is out if they are hit by a ball that they do not catch. If you're out, you immediately put up your hand, call "out", then go to your team's sidelines.
• You cannot use the ball to deflect other balls. If it hits a ball you're holding, you're out.
• Two-man swing: if a player catches a ball thrown at them, then the opposing player that threw the ball is out and one of the players of the catcher's team can return back into play. If you attempt to catch a ball and it hits a wall or the ground before catching it, you're out. You can catch a ball while holding another ball.
• If a ball hits the ground or a wall, it is dead.
• You have 10 seconds to throw the ball. It will be called by one of the refs.
• A single game ends when one team has all players eliminated.

• Can punt on 4th down to put the opposing team on their own 5 yard line
• 6 steamboat before the defence can rush. If the defence crosses the line prior to 6 steamboats then they cannot make a tackle and the QB can rush.
• QB has 10 steamboats total for the ball to pass the line of scrimmage (pass or run). If not, it's a dead play and offence moves onto the next down

• If the ball is handed off, any defender may rush
• Once the ball is past the line of scrimmage no forward passes (same applies after the first forward pass)
• No direct handoffs, any laterals must be pitched

• Interceptions are returnable
• Once the buzzer goes there will be 5 plays left.
• Pass interference on defence = replay the down from same line of scrimmage. Pass interference on offense = loss of a down and play from same line of scrimmage

SPIRIT OF THE GAME

• No referees — call your own fouls honestly.
• Be respectful, play fair, and keep it fun.

Rules

•  (4 vs. 4 + Goalies)
• Players: Each team will have four players on the field at a time, plus one goalie. Substitutions can be made at any time. Players must sub off at the center line. 
• Out of Bounds: When the ball goes out of bounds along the sidelines, it will be put back into play with a kick-in from the spot where it crossed the line. If it goes out behind the goal, it will result in a goal kick for the defending team (if last touched by the attacking team) or a corner kick for the attacking team (if last touched by the defending team).
• Offside: there are no offsides.
• Fouls: When a foul occurs, play will stop, and the ball will be placed at the exact spot where the foul took place. The restart will be a two-touch situation. This means the player taking the free kick must touch the ball once to put it in play, and then a different player from their team must be the second to touch it before a goal can be scored directly from the free kick. The player taking the kick cannot be the second to touch the ball.
• General Gameplay: We'll be playing standard soccer, aiming to score by getting the ball into the opponent's net using our feet. Goalies can use their hands within their designated penalty area.
• Game Duration: Each game will be 12 minutes long with no halftime.

• If the ball is handed off, any defender may rush
• Once the ball has passed the scrimmage line, it cannot be passed forward. It can only be tossed or handed off backwards.
• The ball is dead when it hits the ground, the offensive player’s flag is pulled from their belt, the ball-carrier steps out of bounds, or the ball-carrier’s body—outside of their hands or feet—touches the ground
• Interceptions are returnable

Tournament Play

• Each team is divided out into teams of 2. Example if Blue has 10 players: Blue 1, Blue 2, Blue 3, Blue 4, and Blue 5.
• If a team has odd numbers, we will pair the odd person with a member from another team.
• Play according to image at the bottom of this page.

Gameplay

• Games: Go to 15 points, win by 2, capped at 19.
• Serving: 
  • The server gets 2 serves per play (if needed). 
  • The play starts with one team serving to a member from the other team across from them.
  • A serve is hit roughly 7 feet away from the net and needs to bounce off the net without rolling. 
  • If the serve hits the rim, it counts as a fault.
  • If the serve hits a pocket, it’s an automatic re-serve (NO fault)
  • If the server wins the point, they switch positions with their teammate and then serve to the other opponent. If the serving team loses a point, the other team starts serving. The next time the team gets a point the other member starts serving.
• Points: Points are earned on every single play. You don't have to be serving to win a point. A team earns a point when either: (1) the opposing team fails to return the ball, (2) the opposing team commits a fault like hitting the rim or rolling the ball across the net, or (3) the opposing team's server has 2 faults in a row.
• “Pockets” - If the ball is served into a pocket, then it’s an automatic re-serve (no fault). Hitting a pocket during gameplay is allowed and the play continues.
• Gentlemen’s rule: if the other team accidentally blocks a route to the ball, you can agree to a ‘let’ and replay the point.
• Rally: You can hit the ball with any part of your body to keep it up and in play. A team has a maximum of 3 alternating hits to bounce the ball back off of the net (same player can’t hit the ball twice in a row). Once that happens, it's the opponent's turn to get it back off of the net.

Disagreements: If teams disagree about a play, ex: if it hit the rim or not, then replay the point.
