TOURNAMENT RULES

She is a Baller: Female Flag Football Tournament - Rules & Regulations Outline

This outline provides a general framework for the rules and regulations for a female flag football tournament. Specific leagues or tournaments may have variations, so it's crucial to finalize these details and communicate them clearly to all participants.

I. General Game Play

Field Dimensions:

Typically 50-70 yards long by 20-30 yards wide.
Includes two 10-yard end zones.

Team Size:

Most common is 5 players per side on the field (5-on-5).
Roster size limits should be specified (e.g., maximum 10-12 players per team).

Game Duration:

Two halves, typically 20-25 minutes each (running clock).
A short halftime break (e.g., 2-5 minutes).
Clock stops only for timeouts, injuries, or specific scoring plays (e.g., last 2 minutes of the second half).

Starting Play:

Coin toss determines first possession.
Teams start possession at their own 5-yard line after a change of possession, score, or turnover.

Scoring:

Touchdown: 6 points
Extra Point (from 5-yard line): 1 point
Extra Point (from 10-yard line): 2 points
Safety: 2 points (and possession to the defending team)

II. Offense

Downs:

Teams have four (4) downs to cross midfield.
If midfield is crossed, they get another four (4) downs to score a touchdown.
Failure to cross midfield or score results in a turnover on downs at the spot of the ball.

Line of Scrimmage:

All offensive players must be on or behind the line of scrimmage at the snap.
Only the center can snap the ball.

Passing:

Only one forward pass per down.
A pass must be thrown from behind the line of scrimmage.
All players are eligible receivers (unless specified otherwise).
Incomplete pass: Ball returns to the previous line of scrimmage, next down.

Rushing (Running with the ball):

The quarterback (QB) cannot directly run with the ball past the line of scrimmage unless a blitz is called (see Defense section).
Hand-offs, laterals, and pitches are allowed behind the line of scrimmage.
Once the ball crosses the line of scrimmage, it cannot be handed off or pitched forward.

No Blocking:

Offensive players cannot block defenders. They must avoid contact.
Screening (positioning oneself to impede a defender without initiating contact) may be allowed, but clear rules on this should be defined to prevent illegal blocking.

Dead Ball:

Play is dead when:

A flag is pulled from the ball carrier.
The ball carrier's knee or any part of their body (other than hands/feet) touches the ground.
The ball carrier runs out of bounds.
An incomplete pass.
A score is made.
A fumbled ball hits the ground (ball is dead at the spot of the fumble, no change of possession).

III. Defense

Flag Pulling:

A "tackle" is made by pulling one flag from the ball carrier's belt.
Flags must be worn correctly (no tucking, no clothing obstruction).
Defenders cannot hold or push the ball carrier to pull a flag.

Rushing the Passer (Blitzing):

Typically, a "rush count" is enforced (e.g., 7 seconds, or a designated "blitzer" from a certain distance).
If a rush count is used, the QB can run after the count is reached.
If a designated blitzer is used, only that player (or players) can rush the QB.
Rules on how many players can blitz per down should be clear.

Interceptions:

If a defender catches a forward pass thrown by the offense, it's an interception.
The play continues, and the defender can advance the ball.
If the defender's flag is pulled during the return, the ball is dead at that spot.
If the defender scores, it's a touchdown for the defense.

IV. Penalties

Common Offensive Penalties:

False Start (5 yards)
Offsides (5 yards)
Illegal Motion (5 yards)
Illegal Forward Pass (5 yards from spot of foul, loss of down)
Flag Guarding (5-10 yards from spot of foul, loss of down) - This is a crucial rule in flag football.
Illegal Blocking (10 yards from spot of foul, loss of down)
Pass Interference (10 yards from previous spot, automatic first down)

Common Defensive Penalties:

Offsides (5 yards)
Illegal Flag Pull (5 yards from spot of foul, automatic first down) - Pulling a flag before the ball carrier has possession.
Illegal Contact (10 yards from previous spot, automatic first down) - Pushing, holding, or tackling.
Pass Interference (10 yards from previous spot, automatic first down)
Illegal Rush (5 yards from previous spot, automatic first down) - Rushing before the count or by an ineligible player.

V. Sportsmanship & Fair Play

Respect: All players, coaches, and spectators are expected to show respect for opponents, teammates, officials, and the rules of the game.
No Taunting/Abuse: Taunting, trash talk, or any form of verbal or physical abuse will not be tolerated.
Official's Authority: All decisions by game officials are final. Disputing calls disrespectfully may result in penalties or ejection.
Player Safety: Emphasis on safe play and avoiding unnecessary contact.

VI. Tournament Specifics

Tie-Breaking Procedures: Clearly define how ties are broken in pool play and during playoff games (e.g., head-to-head, points differential, coin toss).
Forfeits: Rules regarding forfeits and their impact on standings.
Protests: Procedures for protesting a game or official's ruling (if allowed).
Equipment: Requirements for player equipment (e.g., flag belts provided, no pockets, cleats allowed/disallowed).
Coaching Boxes/Sidelines: Rules for coaches and non-playing personnel.

This outline should provide a solid foundation for your tournament's rulebook.
