shall have four consecutive downs to advance to the next zone by scrimmage. The line to gain shall be the
zone in advance of the ball, unless the distance was lost due to penalty or failure to gain. In such a case, the
original zone in advance of the ball at the beginning of the series of downs is the line to gain.
Unless moved by penalty, the ball shall be snapped on the 15 yard line to start each half and possession.
A live ball becomes dead and an official shall sound the whistle or declare it dead:
a. When any part of the runner other than a hand or foot touches the ground.
b. When a backward pass, fumble or muff touches the ground. A snap that hits the ground before or
after reaching the intended receiver is at the spot where it hits the ground.

If the player is not deflagged with one pull and the official determines the flag belt has been secured
illegally, the touchdown is disallowed and the player is disqualified and it is a foul. PENALTY: 10yards from the previous spot and loss of down.
PLAYER CONDUCT
A. The offensive screen block shall take place without contact. The screen blocker shall have their
hands and arms at their side or behind their back. Any use of the arms, elbows or legs to initiate
contact during an offensive player’s screen block is illegal.
B. Defensive players must go around the offensive player’s screen block. The arms and hands may not be
used as a wedge to contact the opponent.
C. A runner shall neither charge into nor contact an opponent in his/her path nor attempt to run between
two opponents or between an opponent and a sideline, unless the place is such as to provide a reasonable
chance for him/her to go through without contact. If a runner in his/her progress has established a straightline path, he/she may not be crowded out of that path, but if an opponent is able to legally establish a
defensive position in that path, the runner must avoid contact by changing direction (this is the same
principle as the block/charge in basketball). Diving is permissible only in attempt to deflag an opponent.
Diving for extra yards or in the instance of charging – as mentioned above – is not.
D. The ball carrier shall not guard their flags by blocking, with arms or hands, the opportunity for an
opponent to pull or remove the flag belt. The ball carrier shall be prohibited from contacting an opponent
with an extended hand or arm. Examples of flag guarding include, but are not limited to:
a. Placing or swinging the hand or arm over the flag belt.
b. Placing the ball in possession over the flag belt.
c. Lowering the shoulders in such a manner which places the arm over the flag belt.
E. Offensive players must have possession of the ball before they can be legally deflagged. A flag belt
that becomes detached inadvertently (not removed by grabbing and pulling) does not cause play to stop. In
circumstances where a flag belt is removed illegally, play should continue with the option of the penalty or
the play. In all situations where a play is in progress and a ball carrier loses the flag belt accidentally,
inadvertently or on purpose, the deflagging reverts to a one-hand tag of the ball carrier between the
shoulders and knees. Tampering with the flag belt in any way to gain an advantage including tying, using
foreign materials or other such acts. PENALTY: 10-yards from the previous spot, loss of down and player
disqualification.
