All games will have two certified referees to enforce the rules and most importantly SAFETY! So, let’s go over the Rosters, Game Play, and Special Rules.
Below is a signup for your team. If you have a team of eight already, please register your team ASAP, as there will only be a maximum of 16 teams.
If you don’t have a team, but want to play, please post your intention to play on Twitter with the hashtag #expoflagfootball, and then you can be located.
ROSTERS
There will only be 16 teams in the competition. Each team will consist of a Team Captain and seven players for a total of eight players.
Each game will only have five starters on the field at any one time. Players can only be on one team.
GAME PLAY
There will be a coin flip. The winner of the coin flip can choose to go first or defer. To begin play, Team A will start at the 35-yard line towards the goal line against Team B’s defense. Each team will only have 5 players on the field.
Team A has FOUR plays to either score a touchdown or gain the most yards possible. There are NO FIRST DOWNS. Once Team A plays all four plays or scores a touchdown, they are done.
At this point, Team B takes the field on offense at the 35-yard line and has four plays to beat Team A’s play. (For example, if Team A scores a touchdown in three plays, they have to score a touchdown in two or fewer plays to win. If they score in three, there is a tie).
If both teams tie (either score a touchdown in the same amount of plays or go the same number of yards in four plays), then there will be a new coin flip for who goes first or defers.
Then each team gets ONE PLAY from the 35-yard line to score or get as many yards as possible. The winner will be the team that goes the farthest or scores on that one play.
