Boston College Intramural Sports FLAG FOOTBALL RULES Boston College Intramural Sports FLAG FOOTBALL RULES ELIGIBILITY: All members of the Boston College community are eligible to play with the exceptions listed on the Code of Conduct. Please check this form prior to placing players on the team roster. CHECK‐IN: The team captain prior to the start of the game must give all BC IDs to the officials or on site Monitor. Players arriving late are eligible to enter the game and must present their ID to an official for attendance and eligibility purposes. It is the responsibility of the team to ensure that they have been checked off for attending. FACILITY: Shea Field (Varsity Baseball Outfield) during the Fall Semester league; Alumni Stadium during the Spring Semester tournament. DIMENSIONS: Two fields will be set up at one time. Fields will be 60 yards in length (plus the 10 yard end zones) and roughly 27 yards in width. SCHEDULING: Each team will play roughly 6‐8 games during the Fall Semester league and roughly 3 games during the Spring semester tournament ‐ subject to change depending on facility availability. Please see the Intramural Handbook on the Campus Recreation website for further details regarding scheduling as well as our rainout policy. PLAYOFF FORMAT: Playoffs will be single elimination. Playoff ranking will be based on record (with emphasis on divisional/pool play) and then by the tie breaker system detailed in the Handbook. In leagues/tournaments with a large amount of teams, those eligible for the playoffs that have the same record will be randomly seeded. ROSTER MANAGEMENT: Rosters will be limited to 15 spots. This includes any coaches that a team may have. Only 15 pinnies/uniforms will be provided at each game. Only 15 shirts and mugs are available for the eventual champions. Coed teams must have a minimum of 3 female players on the field at all times. MINIMUM PLAYER: Games will consist of seven (7) vs seven (7). Teams must have a minimum of six (6) players to start a game. If for any reason the number drops below this, the team will be forced to forfeit. GAME TIME: Game time is forfeit time. If a team is not checked in, has the minimum amount of players present, and ready to play by game time, a forfeit will be declared by the official. Exception: A team may waive the right to win by forfeit and wait for the opposing team. The game clock will start at the scheduled game time regardless of any situation. If after 10 minutes the team still does not have the minimum amount of players, the present team must accept the forfeit win. If a team waives the right to win by forfeit and the game begins, that team cannot rescind their decision and take the forfeit. MEETINGS: Officials will hold a pre‐game meeting with the two team captains. This meeting will discuss rules of emphasis and game management items. Captains may voice their concerns/protests at the meeting. Officials will hold a post‐game meeting with the two team captains to review the contest. TEAM BENCHES/SIDELINES: There will be a designated area for each team ‘bench’. Teams will be responsible for everyone that is on the bench/sideline. We discourage having non‐roster personnel on the bench/sideline. All non‐ roster personnel located around the team bench/sideline will be seen as part of the team and will be subject to the rules. To prevent any confusion, we encourage teams to allow only those on the roster around the team bench. CLOCK MANAGEMENT: Each game will consist of two 20 minute halves. The clock will run continuously except for the last two minutes (called stoppage time) of each half. The clock will stop within the last two minutes of each half on any dead ball situation. Mercy Rule: If a team faces a deficit of more than 20 points, there will be no stoppage time or 2 minute warning. OVERTIME: will be NCAA style. A coin toss determines which team gets possession first. Each team is given possession on the 15 yard line and given 4 downs to score. Teams must go for 2 in the third overtime. UNIFORM: Each team MUST have coordinating colored shirts for every player. It is strongly recommended that teams provide their own shirts. Pinnies will be provided if a team is unable to provide their own uniform. Teams may have to wear pinnies worn in a previous game. No metal cleats allowed. Flags must be worn over your shift if shirt is untucked. No individual will be allowed to participate in street clothes. This includes jeans, belts, brimmed hats or other “non‐gym” clothing. Players will not be permitted to wear jewelry or anything deemed dangerous to other players. GAME RULES Governing Rules: NCAA and NIRSA rules shall govern all play with the exceptions listed on this rule sheet. Final interpretations and modifications shall be determined by the Manager, Intramural Sports. Coin Toss: Before the start of the game, a referee will toss a coin in the presence of both captains after which the referee designates which captain shall call the fall of the coin. The captain winning the toss shall choose one of the following: To start on offense or defense To designate which goal his/her team will defend To defer their decision until the second half The opposing captain shall exercise the remaining option. No Kick offs: Ball will start on the 10 yard line. Time‐outs: Each team is granted two (2) timeouts per game. An (1) additional timeout is awarded for each overtime. Unused timeouts carry over to every half or overtime. Substitutions: Substitutions may only be made when play has stopped. Diving NEW RULE: Diving is allowed in any circumstance, including, but not limited to, ball advancement, flag pulling, or catching of a live ball. First Downs: Awarded to teams that advance the ball into the next zone within 4 downs. The first down line in any series shall be the original first down zone at the beginning of the series, regardless of negative yards and/or penalties. Hikes: Side hikes are allowed but must be completed in a fluid motion. Player receiving the snap must be at least 2 yards away from the center and 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Centers: No under center snaps allowed. No center rushes allowed. Defensive players cannot line up opposite the center. Goal line: Ball placement can not be spotted within the 1 yard line for offensive teams attempting to score in that endzone. This is to keep in tact the 1 yard neutral zone. Passing: All players are eligible receivers. A team may throw only 1 forward pass during a down, provided all such passes are thrown behind the line of scrimmage. The ball throwers entire body must pass the line of scrimmage for it to be considered an illegal forward pass. Intentional Grounding: Will be called for passes that do not reach the line of scrimmage with no intended receiver in the area. As there is no defined tackle‐box, intentional grounding will be called regardless of the location of the pass thrower. Receiving: A receiver needs only 1 foot in bounds to complete a catch. If a receiver is missing the flag belt when catching the ball (fell off accidentally); the play is blown dead at point where the ball is caught. If the flag is pulled off by a defensive player before it is caught, it will result in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty (15 yards). There is no bump and run coverage allowed. Force out: There is no force out of a player. If a receiver catches the ball in the air, and is pushed out of bounds by a defensive player, it is up to the discretion of the official if receiver would have landed in bounds. Forcing a player out will result in a 10 yard penalty or the result of the play (if official rules receiver would have been in bounds), whichever is greater. Fumbles: The ball is declared dead when it hits the ground. The last team maintaining possession gets the ball at the spot where the ball touches the ground (unless it’s fourth down). Fumbles in the offensive team’s end zone results in a two‐point safety. If fumbled into opponent’s end zone, the play is a touchback. Opponent puts the ball in play at the 10 yard line. In the event that the player fumbles the ball forward, the ball will be marked at the point at which it left the players hands. Inadvertent whistle: If an official blows an inadvertent whistle, the play is dead on the sound of the whistle. The offensive team has the option of keeping the play result or re‐playing the down. Line of Scrimmage: There must be at least 4 offensive players on the line of scrimmage at all times. Linemen: There will be no down linemen of any type (i.e. no 3 point or 4 point stances). All linemen must start with both hands off of the ground. NEW RULE: There must be at least one offensive lineman in the form of a center. There are no restrictions to how many offensive linemen a team may choose to have other than the center. Blocking: No down field blocking is allowed. All blocking must occur on or behind the line of scrimmage. Blocking on the offensive line is limited to the torso. A defensive player may not engage or make contact with an offensive lineman unless the offensive player engages first.

  • Axiomatic Design of a Football Play-Calling Strategy
    Axiomatic Design of a Football Play-Calling Strategy A Major Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering by _____________________________________________________________ Liam Koenen _____________________________________________________________ Camden Lariviere April 28th, 2016 Approved By: Prof. Christopher A. Brown, Advisor _____________________________________________________________ 1 Abstract The purpose of this MQP was to design an effective play-calling strategy for a football game. An Axiomatic Design approach was used to establish a list of functional requirements and corresponding design parameters and functional metrics. The two axioms to maintain independence and minimize information content were used to generate a final design in the form of a football play card. The primary focus was to develop a successful play-calling strategy that could be consistently repeatable by any user, while also being adaptable over time. Testing of the design solution was conducted using a statistical-based computer simulator. 2 Acknowledgements We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the following people, as they were influential in the successful completion of our project. We would like to thank Professor Christopher A. Brown for his advice and guidance throughout the yearlong project and Richard Henley for sharing his intellect and thought process about Axiomatic Design and the role

  • MOL 2019 Rules and Regulations
    MOL Football Rules and Regulations On behalf of the MOL Board of Directors, we would like to welcome you to MOL, and thank you for taking your time to volunteer, coach or referee. It is our intention that all board members, coaches and referees read and understand this document, so that all of us begin the season with the same understanding of our rules and how we intend to referee the games. The objective of MOL football, our rules, and how we referee the games, are very simple: ● Create a fun and enjoyable experience for all of our players ● Promote fair play ● Protect the safety and wellbeing of all players involved ● Achieve these objectives by communicating with and educating the players/coaches first, and by penalizing as a last resort Coaches’ Code of Conduct The MOL Board of Directors has high expectations for our coaches. Not only do we expect you to provide a wonderful experience for your team members, but we also expect you to be examples for your players, your parents, and our young referees. Therefore: ● We expect coaches to ensure the good sportsmanship of themselves, their players, and their parents. ● We ask that all communication with referees be respectful and only between you and the referee. Communication with referees should be limited to questions and interpretations, not for complaints or attempted influence. Expectations for MOL Referees MOL referees are typically local high school or junior high kids that have previously played MOL. While there is only a minimal up front training program, we do mentor the referees on a weekly basis and set forth the following expectations: ● We expect our referees to be familiar with the rules as presented in this document ● We expect referees to hustle and be involved in every play ● We expect referees to blow the whistle loudly and decisively to signal a play is over ● We expect the ball to be spotted accurately where the flag was pulled ● We expect our referees to talk to the kids and help them learn the rules ● We instruct our referees to call as few penalties as possible.

  • Bailey: ‘Barring Any Setbacks, I’Ll Be out There’
    Bailey: ‘Barring Any Setbacks, I’ll Be Out There’ By Stuart Zaas DenverBroncos.com November 27, 2013 Cornerback Champ Bailey talked about his status for this week’s game at Kansas City. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – After missing the past four games with a foot injury, cornerback Champ Bailey feels he’s getting closer to making his return this week at Kansas City. Bailey sat out the first five games of the season with a foot injury before reinjuring the foot at Indianapolis in Week 7. The patience required to let the foot heal is something that hasn’t come easily for the 15th-year veteran. “That’s the hardest thing for me,” Bailey said. “Any time something goes wrong, I want to be in there to try to help. But, I have to make sure I take care of my body. The foot is feeling a lot better. I’m going to keep progressing through the week to make sure that I’m ready for Sunday.” Bailey returned to practice on Wed., Nov. 13 and has been limited in each session since. He was listed as doubtful for the Week 11 game versus Kansas City and then questionable for Week 12 at New England. This week, he said his prognosis could be more positive. “I feel like barring any setbacks, I’ll be out there," Bailey said. "That’s the way I’m preparing myself this week – to play. And if nothing goes wrong, I’ll be there.” Bailey has been listening to the doctors’ advice as well as his own body as he rehabilitates the foot.
