SINGLE-ELIMINATION TOURNAMENT BRACKET:

        Depending on the number of teams, some teams may receive a 1st Rd. "bye."

2. For each game, the "TOP" team will be designated as the HOME team, while the

"BOTTOM" team will be designated as the VISITOR and will wear the mesh

jerseys.

3. Teams will advance to the next round of the tournament with each victory. The winning homeroom for each
            class will play against the Faculty All-Stars later in the year.

GAME RULES:

1. Each game will begin with the VISITORS taking the ball on their own "10 yard line" -

there are NO kickoffs, punts, or field goals/extra points.

-Subsequent plays start from the spot of the previous "tackle."

2. On each possession:

-Teams will have four downs in which to score - NO FIRST DOWNS!!!

-Teams must rotate players if more than 7 homeroom members wish to play

3. On each play:

-No tackling or excessive physical play will be allowed (determined by officials)

-Offensive Linemen must remain within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage.

-A ball-carrier is considered "down" when a defender removes one flag from the

ball carrier's waist and DROPS it on the ground at the spot of the "tackle."
-A defender may NOT throw the flag back field or hold onto the flag after making a "tackle."
                        Doing so will result in a penalty against the defense.

4. Possession of the ball changes under the following guidelines:

Offensive Touchdown- Defense takes possession from their own "10 yd. line"

Turnover on Downs- Defense takes possession from their own "10 yd. line"

Defense Recovers Fumble- Defense takes possession at spot of fumble recovery

Defense Intercepts Pass- Defense takes possession at spot of TACKLE
(NOTE: Fumbles aren't "returnable" , Interceptions ARE)
