Games will begin once all players arrive on the field and will end when the lunch bell rings. The team with the most points will advance to the next round.

Flag Football Rules

1. Each team consists of 7 players.

2. Each game begins with rock, paper, scissors to see who gets the ball.

3. The starting team begins on their own 5-yard line and has 4 downs to cross midfield for a first down.

4.  If the offense fails to advance after three tries, they have two options: they can "punt," which means they turn the ball over to the opposing team who starts its drive from its own 5-yard line, or they can go for the last down. If they still fail to cross midfield, the opposing team takes over possession from the spot of the ball. 

5. If the offensive team crosses midfield, they have four downs to score a touchdown (7 points).

6. Any flag guarding, blocking, or tackling will result in a 5yd penalty.

7. Quarterbacks have 5 seconds to hand-off or pass the ball before the defense can rush. Quarterbacks are not allowed to run the ball until after 5 seconds.

8. No hand-offs are allowed inside the opposing team's 5-yard line.
