*Helmet must be strapped and you may not wear your helmet backwards

3. Moving the ball:

1. Offensive Plays Must be forward passes
2. Field is marked at 15 yard intervals with cones with 1st downs at the 25 yard line and 10 yard line. Each zone will be 3 downs (no 4th downs in 7on7)
3. Possession always begins at the 40 yard line at the right hash mark. Hash mark placement of the ball must be enforced by officials, in accordance with NCAA rules, once the ball has been advanced. Offensive Coach may be in huddle in Youth grades 8th & below. No Coaches on the field in JV or HS Varsity
4. No penalty will be assessed in excess of the 40 yd line. On an unsuccessful or successful offensive play from the 40 yard line resulting in an offensive penalty: The ball will be returned to the 40 yard line and 1st down will become 2nd down; 2nd down will become 3rd down; and 3rd down will result in a turnover.
5. Offenses always move in the same direction
6. All passes must be forward. A pass caught behind the line of scrimmage must be a forward pass
7.  No flea flickers or double passes or laterals at any time

4. Special Rules:

1. No blocking.
2. Receiver/Ball carrier is legally down when touched with one or both hands below the neck. (Excessive force by shoving, pushing, or striking a blow will be penalized by automatic first down and 5 yards. Expulsion of a player(s) if ruled unsportsmanlike & flagrant).
3. Fumbles are dead balls at the spot with the last team retaining possession. A muffed snap is not a fumble/dead ball. The 4.0 second count remains in affect on snaps.
4. Two delay of game penalties in the same possession results in a turnover. A delay of game penalty on the extra point try results in a turnover.
5. The QB is allowed 4.0 seconds to throw the ball. (10U is 4.5) The Official timekeeper starts a stopwatch on the snap of the ball from center and stops the watch as soon as the QB releases the ball.
   1. If release is 4.0 seconds or under, the play goes on.
   2. If the timekeeper sees that the clock has exceeded 4.0 seconds, he waits until the play is over (the play is not blown dead), then brings the ball back to the original line of scrimmage with loss of down unless the Offense Team has thrown a Interception. All passes after the 4 sec clock has expired are live balls (for defense) and can be intercepted and counted as 3 pts for the Defense. So if you throw a pick at anytime it will be a turnover and 3 pts for the Defense even after the 4 sec clock. 
   3. The only infractions possible when a 4 second count is called are holding, pass interference &  unsportsmanlike acts.
   4. Defensive Pass Interference will be a spot foul but not to exceed 15 yards (1st down at the spot).
   5. Responsibility to avoid contact is with the defense. There will be NO chucking or press coverage with hands at the LOS.  No Deliberate bumping or grabbing. These actions will result in a "tack on" penalty at the end of the play (5 yard penalty)
   6. Offensive pass interference is the same as NCAA rules. (15 yard penalty)
   7. Interceptions are worth 3 pts in both League & Tourney Play / this can happen after a 4 sec whistle / take care of the ball
   8. Offensive team is responsible for retrieving and returning the ball to the previous spot or the new scrimmage spot in a timely fashion. Failure to do so can result in a delay of game penalty.
   9. The offensive center is not an eligible receiver (teams must have a center). 
   10. The center will be responsible for setting or re-positioning the Referee's cone at the line of scrimmage. On change of possession, the team moving to offense will ensure the cone gets to the new scrimmage line. (centers on both teams responsible).
   11. No taunting or "trash talking". (5 yard penalty & expulsion if flagrant).  
   12. The offense must gain at least 15 yards in the first 3 or less plays or the defense takes over in all zones
   13. Fighting: the player(s) involved will be ejected from the game.  If a team fight occurs, the teams involved will be ejected from the tournament and denied participation in any league play or tournament.

5. Scoring:

1.  All TD's in League or Tournament play are worth 7 pts (auto XP) unless you elect to go for a 2 pt conversion from the 10 yard line. If you elect to go for 2 you will either end up with 8 pts if you convert or come away with only 6 pts should you not convert.
