FEEL FREE TO CONTACT DIRECTOR FOR ANY QUESTIONS. FOR RULES READ BELOW, AGAIN WE ASK YOU PLEASE READ CAREFULLY SO YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF OUR RULES!!!
We have divisions: If you’re a coach, team mom, director or commissioner please call or email if you don't understand our divisions or have any questions.
Keep in mind we do our very best to ensure fair match-ups in all age divisions. We set the brackets based off of age, skill & size in that order. We try to have the more competitive teams playing one another and the less competitive teams playing one another.
LINE WEIGHT IS UNLIMITED IN ALL AGES. IF WE HAVE ENOUGH TEAMS PER AGE DIVISION WE'LL HAVE TWO DIVISIONS INSIDE ONE AGE GROUP. (AGAIN - IF WE HAVE ENOUGH TEAMS). EITHER WAY WE PAIR YOU UP AS FAIR AS POSSIBLE. IF YOUR OVER THE SKILL PLAYER MAX WEIGHT THAN YOU MUST PLAY ON THE LINE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL. IF YOU’RE OVER THE SKILL PLAYER MAX WEIGHT YOU CANNOT AT ANY TIME RECEIVE THE FOOTBALL. IF A "HEAVY" PLAYER RECOVERS A FUMBLE THE BALL IS DEAD AT POINT OF RETURN (YOUR TEAM DOES GAIN POSSESSION).
We use the same age cut-off for all divisions. July 1st is the age cut-off for each age division. (Age example of the 10 & under: if your team is made up of kids 10 and younger w/ kids turning 11 after Aug. 1st, then you still compete in the 10u division). We understand certain leagues have DIFFERENT age cut-offs. We do work with everyone as best as possible, give us a call or email and see where your team fits in age wise, we'll be glad to tell you. We do accept teams from GRADE oriented leagues (but there MUST be league proof)... Here is a Division example, if your team is made up of 10, 11 & 12 year olds then you'll compete in the 12u division.
We want every team playing in the proper division, that's why we ask for a roster from every attending team prior to attending the event, we triple check out the birth dates on the roster to ensure you're in a fair age division, then we check the roster to the birth certificates on arriving at the event.
IN ALL AGE DIVISIONS NATIONAL FEDERATION HIGH SCHOOL RULES APPLY W/ THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW MINOR THINGS. Each game is made up of four - ten minute quarters. Two timeouts per half per team. We use a modified clock except the last two minutes of each half (runs regulation then). Clock does stop on all scores and timeouts. We use the modified clock so we can fit in all the games. This lets you play more games and teams (if your winning). With the clock this way each game runs between 65 - 80 minutes.
