• To avoid a forfeit, a team must have at least five (5) players to start a game in men’s and women’s competition and six (6) players for Co-Rec competition. Start of the Game • A game will begin with a coin toss. Options for the coin toss are given to the winner and those choices are: offense, defense, choose a side to defend, or defer your choice to the 2nd half. Substitutions • Players may enter or leave the game an unlimited number of times. Substitutions may only enter during dead ball periods. • Substitutions must enter and leave the field from their respective sideline. Time-Outs • Each team is allowed three (3) time-outs per half. These time-outs shall be one (1) minute in length. Unused time-outs from the first half do not carry over to the second and second half time-outs do not carry over to overtime.

Pool Play Tie-Breaker cont. • If a three-way tie exists, it will be determined as follows: • Forfeit – The team that forfeits is dropped to the lowest possible position among the three or four tied teams. • The difference between total points scored versus the total points allowed. • If two teams have the same point differential, then who beat whom in head-to-head competition will determine playoff placement. • If all three teams have the same point differential, then the total points scored will determine playoff placement. • If two teams have scored the same number of points, then who beat whom in head-tohead competition will determine playoff placement. • If all three teams have scored the same number of points, then the fewest points allowed will determine playoff placement. • If two teams have allowed the same number of points, then who beat whom in head-tohead competition will determine playoff placement. Overtime • In the event of a tie, a coin toss shall determine the first possession. • The same team calling the opening toss will call the overtime toss. • Options are given to winning captain of toss and those options are: offense, defense, or choose side to play overtime on. • If multiple overtimes are needed, captain’s shall alternate choices but we will not move from the starting side of the field. • Both teams shall play in the same direction. • Each team will be given four (4) downs from the same 10 yard line. • Extra points will be attempted as in regulation play. • If the defense intercepts the ball and returns it for a touchdown, the game is over.
