7 ON 7FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT
SAFETY FIRST
  • This is flag football; there is absolutely no contact.
  • Remove yourself from competition if there is any question of injury. EMT staff is available on site and accessible at any time.
  • Water, Gatorade® and bananas are available on each sideline.
  • A generic mouthpiece will be provided to you at the reception. We highly encourage you to mold the mouthpiece that night and wear it the next day during the 7-on-7 tournament.
GENERAL RULES
  • Use the honor system wherever possible.
  • Seven players are on the field at a time, with substitutions occurring between downs.
  • Each team has one 30-second timeout, not to be used within two minutes remaining in the half. The timeout can be used for a team to catch their breath, huddle up to talk strategy or to make a last-minute substitution.
  • Timeouts do not stop the clock; they simply extend the play clock for 30 seconds.
  • Jerseys must be tucked in. Flags must be worn on the waistline and should not be covered.
OFFENSE
  • Each team will start at the 40-yard line going toward the end zone.
  • A team has four downs to get to the 20-yard line, which is the only first down.
  • Once past the 20-yard line, a team has four downs to get to the end zone.
  • The ball must be snapped by handing or passing the ball to a quarterback; the center is eligible to catch the ball.
  • Two feet must be on the ground and the ball must be secured through the catch for it to be considered in-bounds.
  • Once the ball is caught, there is no downfield blocking. You can box out, but do not initiate contact.
  • Each touchdown is worth one point.
DEFENSE
  • On the defensive side, the play is dead at the spot where the flag is removed. If the player with the ball goes to the ground, he/she is marked as down and the play ends immediately.
  • Rushing the quarterback is allowed for those who start behind the backfield referee (7 yards back).
  • The quarterback can only advance the ball if there is a rusher past the line of scrimmage.
  • Defensive turnover results in ball going to the 40-yard line. Turnovers cannot be advanced.
