1) Season starts Sunday Sept. 11th and the playoffs will be the Nov. 12/13 weekend. We will NOT be playing on the long weekend in October. This gives us 8 weeks of regular season play and we will have two double headers for a total of 10 games prior to playoffs.
2) Playoff format will be determined once we know for sure how many teams we will have.
3) Rule changes - No Yards is a 10 yard penalty regardless if the ball is caught in the air or not.
5 plays - if there is time on the clock when a play ends, the next play is allowed to be played and when it is done the ref now calls 5 plays. If the time runs out while in the huddle the ref can call 6 plays. The ref should wait on calling 6 plays until time runs out as a team may use a "time out" and could possibly get more than 6 plays.
4) Game sheets MUST BE HANDED IN ON GAME DAY. We are no longer excepting game sheets to be completed by the individual teams or to be e-mailed in. If no game sheet is handed in, your players will not get credit for their stats or credit for the game played (4 game rule still in effect).
5) There is no longer an exception to the 4 game rule...including any junior football players or coaches. If a player is serious about playing, they have to make the effort to be at 4 games for at least a couple minutes.
6) Tie Break - if there is a tie at the end of the season the first tie break is head to head but only if it works (all teams involved played similar amount of games). If plus/minus works we will use that next, otherwise it is points against.
I think that is it. See you all soon,
