Field Position and Downs
Offense will start on the 40 yard-line with the option of using either hash. First downs will be at the 25-yard line and 10-yard lines. Once the 1st down is achieved inside the 10-yard line you will have three (3) downs to score.
Offense has three (3) downs to gain a first down.
Routes
No offensive routes will be allowed inside the tackle box, unless it comes directly off a mesh with the QB.
Center Requirements
Each team must possess a center to snap the ball. If using a center, he is ineligible to catch a pass. All snaps from the center must come from the game ball resting on the ground. There can only be one game ball on the field during play at one time.
Extra Point Options
After a score, the offense can go for one (1) point at the 5-yard line or two (2) points at 10-yard line. The offense may place the ball on either the hash or the middle.
Running Rules
The offensive team may run the ball on ANY DOWN (Example they can run 1st, 2nd, and 3rd down if they choose). All forms of runs and handoffs are permitted.
The 1st player to receive the ball from the center is considered the QB and can NOT run.
The 2nd player to possess the ball is the runner and is not allowed to throw or lateral the ball.
Blocking Prohibition
NO BLOCKING – THIS WILL RESULT IN A 5-YARD PENALTY FROM THE PREVIOUS LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AND A LOSS OF DOWN.
Fumbles
Fumbled shot-gun snap is a dead ball (loss of down), and the ball will return to the original line of scrimmage. All fumbles are dead where they lay. No points are awarded for a fumble.
Ball Retrieval
Offensive team is responsible for retrieving and returning the ball to the previous spot or the new line of scrimmage.
Formations and Substitutions
All offensive formations must be legal sets. Receivers’ alignment should respect the tackle box.
All offensive substitutions must enter through the huddle or from behind the QB.
Goal Posts
The Goal Posts are out of bounds.
