Tournament Rules

Sportmonda Bowl X will use IFAF Rules, with a few changes to suit the tournament format:

Sportmonda Bowl rules:
– Home team will start with the football.
– Match lenght: 2×15 minutes running time, with a final play after the final whistle in each half.
– Ties are allowed in group matches.
– Ties in Play off will be decided by a “2-point Shoot Out”. First team to score, without conceding is the winner.
– All offensive penalties will be loss of down.
– All penalties can be found on the “Officiating Cheat Sheet” below.

CoEd additional rules:
– At least 2 female players on the field (5 yard basic spot & LoD if on offense. If a team does it 3 times in a game, then the game is lost)
– Scoring with a female player either as runner, receiver, returner or throwing a legal forward pass play (pass crossing LoS in the air) gives 1 additional point:

Touchdowns: 7 points
XP from 5 yard: 2 points
XP from 10 yard: 3 points

– A female player forcing a safety is still worth 2 points.
– A female player throwing a pass to a male player first touched behind LoS, which turns into a touchdown is worth 6 points

Tie-breaker
1: Points (2 for win, 1 for draw)
2: Largest Point differential
3: Head to Head
4: Most Points scored
