Rules

Full rules are available by following [this link].
The basics are as follows:

-This is touch football. Touch by the opponent with one hand, below the neck constitutes a ball handler as down.

-Each game starts on the hour on a half-field. Games are 40 minute total consisting of two 20 minute halves and a five minute halftime. The clock always runs and there are no time outs.

-A team has four seconds to get the ball over the line of scrimmage. The four seconds begins from the snap to the ball crossing the line.

-There are no running plays allowed, though screen passes are acceptable, as long as the four second rule above is recognized.

-The defense may not cross the line of scrimmage.

-The center does not have to snap the ball from between the legs and can strattle the ball and snap from a sideways position.

-All players are eligible receivers./p>

-The ball will start on the 45 yard line. Offenses will obtain a first down by crossing the 40 yard line, then the 20 yard line.
