The game is to 36 points.
-
How the SFL determines who gets the ball and the side they want to start on is called the Kickoff. Kickoff: 1 player from each team will have to punt the ball from midfield, trying to get the ball to initially touch the ground between the 1 and 2 point lines. Whoever is closer to getting it in between the markers wins. If both players get it between the markers, then whoever gets it in next, or whoever is closest to the marker, wins. If the ball goes into the endzone then the other team wins the Kickoff.
-
The ball starts on the 2 point line.
-
There is one first down at mid-field.
-
After a touchdown, teams can go for 1 point from two yards out, or they can go for 2 points from ten yards out.
-
If a defense scores an offenses' point after attempt, they earn double the value of the attempt. 1 point attempt is worth 2 points for the defense. 2 point attempt is worth 4 points to the defense.
-
This is a moderate contact league; expect to be in situations that will require you to get into hands-on, 1-on-1 situations where you may end up in the dirt, or putting someone else in the dirt occasionally.
-
Safeties provide the scoring team 4 points and the ball gets placed 3 yards behind the midfield mark.
-
Substitutions:
-
The 5 players that start on the field must play one offensive and one defensive drive before they can substitute a player.
-
If teams want to substitute during a drive, they can for 1 or 2 plays at most, per drive.
-
If a team needs 1 or more extra players to have a full team for a week, that team MUST tell the referees and let them get the situation resolved. Any decisions made without the referees' knowledge will be adjusted as needed by the referees. If the team knows they will be short a player before gameday, they should inform the league at (680) 255-2016 to get the situation resolved before gameday.
-
If there is a medical issue that affects the substitution rule, the referees will work with said players and teams to accommodate.
