After a touchdown, the scoring team attempts a PAT point after touchdown. The captain will indicate from which distance the offense will attempt the PAT. The captain may also designate where, between the inbounds lines, the ball shall be spotted for the PAT. From the 3-yard line — Worth 1 point.

First Downs A team registers a first down when it crosses or touches one of the first down lines zone lines-to-gain. Once the first down has been established, that team may not make another first down by crossing the same line during that series of downs. Line of Scrimmage, Required Number of Players Four 4 offensive players must be on the line of scrimmage at the snap.

At anytime at or after the ready for play signal, all offensive players must momentarily be at least 5 yards inbounds prior to the snap, unless covered recognized by a defensive player.

There is no requirement for defensive players to line-up along the line or be at least 5 yards inbounds prior to the snap. Fumbles A fumble is dead at the point the ball touches the ground.

The ball goes to the team who last had possession with the resulting loss of down. A ball that has not hit the ground can be recovered in the air and advanced by either team. This includes snaps by the center that are not caught by an offensive player i.

Bad snaps are dead at the spot they hit the ground. For the purposes of timing, fumbles and bad snaps are considered running plays and the clock will not stop on. Handoffs Any player may hand the ball forward or backward to any player anywhere on the field.

During a handoff, the ball is in contact with a player at all times. The pass occurs before a change of possession defense may not throw a forward pass following a fumble recovery or interception. It is the first and only forward pass made during the down. Only one forward pass is permitted per down, regardless of whether is pass is completed beyond or behind the line of scrimmage.

Note: An offensive player may run through across the line of scrimmage, then run back behind the line of scrimmage and throw a forward pass OR toss the ball backward to another player who can then throw a forward pass as long as such pass abides by the provisions of this section.

Pass Receptions All legal players are eligible to receive a pass. One foot must land in bounds before any part of the body lands in the out-of-bounds area for a legal pass reception.

One knee is equivalent. Interceptions in the End Zone If a player intercepts the ball in the endzone, the player may return it out of the end zone. If the player is deflagged while running in the end zone, it is a touchback. Interceptions in the end zone during a PAT attempt or overtime immediately end the play no returns.

Screen Blocking The only type of blocking that is allowed is screen blocking. No contact is allowed between the offense and defense. Penalty: Personal foul, 10 yards. Any use of the hands, arms, legs or body to initiate contact is illegal. This position will vary from 1 to 2 steps depending on speed of the defensive player. Retrieval of Ball after a Play The offensive team must retrieve the ball after every play from scrimmage. The snapper will maintain control of the ball and bring the ball from the huddle to the line of scrimmage.

Once a decision is reached, the referee will announce the decision to the defense. If the offense declares to punt, then wants to change their decision, they may do so after a charged timeout or an accepted penalty in which the down is to be replayed. All punts must be announced to the referee. There are no quick kicks. The kicking team must have 4 players 5 in co-rec on the line of scrimmage during a punt.

The kicker must catch and kick the ball immediately in one continuous motion. Neither team may advance beyond their respective scrimmage line until the ball is kicked. Kickers may not punt barefoot. No player from the kicking team may interfere with a player from the receiving team that is in position or moving into a position to catch an airborne punt.

The opportunity for kick catch interference ends when a punt hits the ground. Punts that have not been touched by a player are NOT dead while bouncing on the ground. When a punt touches a player from either team and then hits the ground, it is dead at that spot and belongs to the receiving team. If a punt is muffed by the receiving team and caught in the air by the kicking team, it is dead at that spot and the kicking team retains possession, first and line-to-gain.

If caught in the air by the receiving team, they may advance the ball. Punts may not be returned out of the endzone. There are no fair catches. Fair catch signals that are used in an attempt to confuse the opponent shall be considered Unfair Acts.

During a legal pass, while a snap is in flight, or while a kick is in-flight, the down will be replayed. When a player is in possession or during a backward pass, the team in possession at the time of the inadvertent whistle may choose either to accept the play where it is blown dead or to replay the down.

Pulling or removing a flag belt from an offensive player without the ball is illegal. If the player is an eligible receiver, the violation may be considered pass interference. Illegal Contact by the Ball Carrier Personal foul, 10 yards from the spot of the foul The ball carrier must run to avoid tacklers.

Deliberate charging of an opponent is against the rules. Officials will use the same judgment on charging and blocking by offensive and defensive players as in basketball. If the foul is intentional or unsportsmanlike, then 10 more yards will be added to the penalty and the player will be disqualified. A defensive player may not hold, push, or knock the ball carrier down in an attempt to remove the flag. Similarly, an offensive player may not hold an opponent to prevent a deflagging.

Contact with the passer shall be avoided except in cases where the defensive player is attempting to deflag the passer.

Excessive contact is not permitted at all times. Contact with a thrown ball hitting the ball then the passer in the same motion does NOT affect this rule and roughing the passer may still be called. Roughing the passer does not apply on illegal forward passes; however, illegal contact may be called.

A pass that is intentionally thrown to the ground or out of bounds to avoid a loss of yardage is also illegal. Offensive Pass Interference 10 yards from the previous spot Pass interference occurs when a player contacts another eligible receiver who is beyond the line of scrimmage.
