Rules for 2007 TFL Season

1. Games will start at 12:00 and 1:00. If you are scheduled for the 12:00 game, please make sure you are there and ready to go by 12:00. We don't want to make the second game start more than a half hour late like we had to last year on a few occasions.

2. Games will be at the Terrace Fields on the West Side of the stadium unless otherwise noted.

3. Tackling will be two hand touch.

4. All touchdowns are worth 7 points. There are no PATs or conversions.

5. A first down will be awarded after advancing the ball over two white lines on the field.

6. Games will be played in two 20 minute halves. The clock will be a running clock with stoppages only occurring on timeouts and in the last two minutes of the second half. Each team will receive 3 timeouts per half. In the final two minutes of the second half, the clock will stop on:
--a first down
--touchdown
--ball out of bounds
--incomplete pass
--change of possession
--timeout

The clock will restart with the snap of the ball on the next play.

7. All kickoffs must be either punted or placekicked.

8. Every team will play a six game regular season. At the end of the regular season, the teams with the two best records will play a championship game. The teams with the two worst records will play a consolation game. If teams are tied in the standings, the tiebreakers will be head to head followed by point differential. If the teams are still tied after the tiebreakers, the tiebreaker will be whoever scored more points combined in the two head to head matches.
