Game Walk through
<>Before the game is started the referee's will call over the captains and have the rest of everybody stand in a straight line. <>The captains will then choose their teammates one by one until, no one is left. <>The captain who picks their teammates first will be chosen by a coin toss. <>The coin toss will occur like this, the referee will show the captains the quarter and then will throw the coin up in the air. While the coin is in the air, either captain could call for it, which ever captain calls it first, in the air and is right they will pick first, if not the other captain would pick first. <>If the teams have been picked, the leftover people would have to sit out the game. They could enter the game as a sub, for a injured or tired player or if a player leaves. <>The game will be divided into four quarters of 15 minutes each. In the event the score is tied at the end of four periods, the game is extended by an overtime quarter with 10 minutes, where both teams will get possession of the ball in the middle of the field. <>A team is allowed three charged team timeouts during each half. A charged team timeouts shall be two minutes in length or shorter, depending on the team who called the timeout. <>All timeouts must be called before the ball is snapped by a team member, and showing the referee a T symbol, symbolizing a timeout. <>For every possession instead of a kickoff the ball will be setup on the post ahead of the touchdown post. <>The first down post will be the next post over or where the referee spots it. <>The offense will get 4 downs where they can either run or pass the ball to gain yardage. <>On 4th down the team will be able to either go for it on 4th or punt it, if the team decides to go for it, and is unsuccessful on their try, it would result in a turnover on downs (The other team would get the ball). <>If the team chooses to punt, and the punter kicks the ball out of bounds, then that’s where the ball will be spotted. <>After every play the ball must be set by a referee, where the ball or play was stopped prior by the referee. <>Once the ball has been set, the referee will blow the whistle where the offense will get 20 seconds counted down by the referee. If the offense doesn’t get the ball hiked before the 20 seconds is down, then they will get a "Delay of Game Penalty" but the referee will tell the offense when 10 seconds is left. <>By any chance if the ball has been spotted down and the referee has blown the whistle and the defense isn’t paying attention, the offense could hike the ball, and in that time if a defense player is breaking a rule or making a penalty, the referee gets can call a penalty. (Example: If a defense player is passed the line of scrimmage and the offense has hiked the ball, then the referee would call an "Offsides Penalty") <>For player safety, if the person with the ball is running, and can no longer gain yardage, but his knees or elbows are not down, the referee could call the play or ball dead. <>All turnovers will be discussed thoroughly by the referee crew. (There is no video review) <>If the game does go to overtime (OT) each time will get a possession. The team with first or second possession will be determined by a coin toss with a quarter, by the visiting team picking head or tails while the coin is spinning in the air. <>In overtime the team that wins the coin toss, will be able to choose if they want to get the ball first or second. <>Every possession in OT will start at mid-field. <>All penalties and rules that apply in the game of the 4 quarters before OT, still apply. <>Each team will have to get a touchdown in their possession, if the first time with the ball is unable to score, and the opposing team scores off a turnover or on their next possession then the game is over. <>If the game is still in regular play and its starts to get dark and the referee are unable to see, then the overtimes rules will come in effect to resolve the ending score, unless a team is winning by 2 or more scores.
