Flag Football League Rules
NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 7 field players (7 vs. 7) per team. Each team

deadball stopage at 5 minutes. The first team ready to play (7
players present) will receive the referee choice at the beginning
of the game (first-half OR second-half possession at the 10 yard
line). With overtime, there will be a 2-minute intermission prior
to starting...first score wins.
TIME-OUTS: Each team gets one 1-minute time-out per half.
OVERTIME: If the game score is tied after regulation time, the
officials will do a coin toss to determine first possession. The
team that has more points after equal possessions will be declared
the winner. OT possessions start twenty yards from a TD.
EQUIPMENT:
* sneakers & provided flag belt/ball
* no jeans, watches, jewelry, spikes or exposed braces
LINE OF SCRIMMAGE: Once the center has placed his hands on the
ball no player, offensive or defensive, may enter the neutral zone
(football spot). The offense must have no less than 3 players on
the line of scrimmage. 5 yard penalty for offsides & lining-up
in the neutral zone.

out-of-bounds belongs to the offensive team at the out-of-bounds
spot. The ball is dead at the spot of a fumble. Exception: QB may
pick-up a fumbled snap within 3 seconds.
FORWARD PASSES AND INTERCEPTIONS: If a player is in the air
attempting to catch a ball, the player must contact the ground
in-bounds with the ball in their possession prior to going out of
bounds, unless contact by an opponent causes the player to first
touch out-of-bounds. If possession of the ball is lost
simultaneously when they hit the ground, it is not a catch. If a
forward pass is caught by a member of opposing team, the ball is
dead and it is a change of possession. All possessions
start at the 10 yard line.
PASS INTERFERENCE: It is interference if an eligible receiver is
deflagged or touched prior to touching the ball on a pass thrown
beyond the offense's line of scrimmage. If the pass interference by
the defense is intentional and/or unsportsmanlike, the defense may
be penalized 10 more yards.
SCORING: Touchdowns equal 6 points...extra points equals 1
point from 5 yard line & 2 points from 10 yard line. Once

downs (no punts). Turnover on downs...possession starts at the 10
yard line.
SAFETY: If a player carries the ball across the goal line they are
defending and the ball becomes dead while in their team's
possession, it is a safety and the opposing team will be awarded 2
points. A foul in the end zone where the spot of enforcement is
designated as the spot of the foul...is a safety.
EXCEPTION: When a player intercepts a forward pass between their
five-yard line and their goal line & their momentum carries
them into the end zone where the ball becomes dead, the ball will
belong to the receiving team at the 10 yard line.
PERSONAL FOULS: Any act listed below or any other act of
unnecessary roughness is a personal foul (10 yard penalty): down
field blocking, picks, screen blocks, stiff-arming,
punch/strike/strip/steal or attempt to steal the ball, trip or

hurdling players, contact before or after declared dead ball,
unnecessary contact with fists, locked hands, elbows, legs,

grasp, or obstruct the forward progress of the runner when
attempting to remove the flag belt...Personal Foul Penalty.
THE FLAG BELT: All shirts must be tucked in, shirts are not
permitted to hang over the flag belt. Should a player loose their
flag belt legally or illegally during a down and should that player
gain possession of a live ball, that player will be considered down
when a legal tag (with one hand between the shoulders and knees,
including the hand and arm) is made. If the belt has been illegally
secured (follow referee instructions) any score on the previous
play will be disallowed, the player ejected and a 10 yard
Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty will be administered from the
previous spot.
GUARDING THE FLAG BELT: Runners shall not flag guard by using
their hands, arms, or the ball to deny the opportunity for an

penalty) shall include such things as: Swinging the hand or arm
over the flag belt to prevent deflagging. Placing the ball in
possession over the flag belt to prevent deflagging. Lowering the
shoulder or using hands/arms to prevent deflagging.
FLAG BELT REMOVAL: Players must have possession of the ball before
they can legally be deflagged. When a runner loses their flag
belt either accidentally, inadvertently, or on purpose, play
continues. The deflagging reverts to a one hand tag of the
runner between the shoulders and the knees. In cases where a flag
belt is removed illegally, play should continue with the option of
the penalty of the play (Penalty : Personal Foul, 10 yards).
It is illegal for a defensive player to intentionally pull a
flag belt from an offensive player who is not in possession of the
ball. Tampering with the flag belt in any way to gain an advantage
is considered unsportsmanlike. An Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty
will be issued and the player will be disqualified. A referee's
whistle may conclude a play at the time they conclude that a belt
is deemed to difficult to remove.
