What are the Rules?
Here are some rules of the game, where there have been some additions to the original gameplay. Check it out.
For Extra Points:
After a team scores, that team will have the three options to gain more points which are
- a 1-point kick from the 15-yard line
- a 2-point scrimmage play from the 2-yard line
- a 3-point scrimmage play from the 10-yard line.
However the catch here is that once the team has declared their choice to gain the points, they cannot change or alter their choice.
For Onside Kick:
Teams will be given two options in order to keep the ball:
- An onside kick from the 25-yard line.
- Running a 4th-and-12 play from their own 33-yard line. If team A gets the first touch down it keeps the ball, incase it fails to do so, he defense, Team B gets the ball.
Kickoffs:
One thing is to be remembered that, all kickoffs must be made from the 25-yard line:
- None of the kicking team member must line up any further than one yard.
- After a kickoff travels 20 yards, the first touch must be by the receiving team.
- For punts, gunners may not line up outside the numbers and can’t be double-team blocked until the ball is kicked.
Game Timing:
- Game Clock: 35 seconds (25 for administrative stops)
- The game clock stops for first downs inside the final two minutes of the second and fourth quarters.
Replays:
Each coach gets one replay challenge.
- The crew who replays will be able to overrule incorrect personal foul calls.
Overtime:
- Each team alternates 1-play possessions from the 2-yard line (each score is worth 2 points).
- Each team gets up to 3 plays, and the team that scores the most points wins.
Forward Passes:
- Teams are allowed to throw two forward passes from behind the line of scrimmage.
Penalties:
- Offensive passes interference: while passing the ball, if it does not cross the line of scrimmage then, there will be no pass interference or ineligible player downfield penalties.
- Defensive pass interference: when a defender is intentionally tackling a receiver beyond 15 yards, it is s spot penalty.
