You will be given 2 time outs in the first half and 2 in the second half.
There will be a running clock until the 2-minute mark.
Under two-minutes the clock stops on penalties and if a player goes out of bounds.
As a reminder, if the ball is dropped on the snap, it can be picked up with that player becoming the quarterback.
Please remind players that pull a flag to return it to the offensive player after the play is whistled.
Please maintain a professional environment on both sidelines.
We are allowed to provide clarification for any call made and time updates.
Please refer all feedback on non-agreed upon calls to your league coordinator.
Any questions?
