7 VS 7 FLAG GAME RULES

To start the game, the offensive team takes possession at the 45 yd. line or a location designated on modified fields. The offense has four (4) plays to cross the 20 yard line (or field designated first down location if using an approved, modified field.) Once a team crosses the first down location and achieves a first down, it has four plays to score a touchdown.

  • Only 1 first down is awarded per possession unless granted by penalty.

  • If the offense fails to score, the ball changes possession and the new offensive team starts on the 45 yard line (or field designated location if using an approved, modified field.)

  • In the event of an interception, the ball is immediately dead.

  • The defensive team receives 3 points and then possession at the 45 yard line.

  • There is no kicking game.

  • In the event of a dropped ball or “fumble”, the ball is IMMEDIATELY DEAD and retained by the offensive team.
  • THERE ARE NO FUMBLES.


SCORING

  • Each touchdown = 6 points
  • Interception = 3 points
  • Extra points from 5 yard line = 1 point (no kicking)
  • Extra point from 10 yard line = 2 points (no kicking)
