QUICK 6 GAME RULES

Rules updated April 17, 2014

1.   7 defenders and 7 offensive players (includes Quarterback & a non-receiving center). All formations will be out of a shotgun set. Center is responsible for placing the ball at the spot of the referee's hash mark and yard line request.

2.    Each possession starts on the 40 yard line – going in. 

3.    First downs are made by crossing the 25 yard line and the 10 yard line.

4.    Three (3) downs to make a first down; 1st downs can result inside the 10 yard line on a defensive penalty (holding, interference or personal foul). 

5.    PATs: 1 Point conversions will be snapped from the 3 yard line, 2 point conversions will be snapped from the 10 yard line.

6.    4 seconds to get pass off. It will be a loss of down with a 5 yard penalty for a sack.
NOTE: ALL PASSES must be a forward pass. A lateral pass will be treated as a sack.

7.    4 second clock starts on snap of ball.  

8.    Possession changes after PAT attempt, failure to make a first down, or interception.

9.    Pool Play Games are 20:00 continuous play. Bracket Play will be 22 minutes long with a running clock! Timeouts will only take place if a major injury occurs.

10.   Overtime in Bracket Play consists of 3 plays from 10 yard line on each team’s first possession. Each team has an attempt to score in each overtime period. If both teams tie, then a 2nd overtime period will commence with the ball being placed on the 40 yard line with one play to see who gains the most yardage. The team with the most yardage will determine the winner of that game. THERE WILL BE NO OVERTIME IN POOL PLAY... PERIOD. A coin toss will determine the winner of that match with the Home team calling for heads or tails.

NOTE:  Two-Point PATs only overtime.

11.    Two games will start and end simultaneously on separate fields unless otherwise ruled by the tournament director.

12.    All offensive formations must be legal sets with at least two men lining up on the line of scrimmage. You can bunch 4 receivers to one side, but there must be on receiver on the other side of the ball

13.    The offense has 30 seconds to get the play off once the referee has blown his whistle starting a new down. Failure to get the ball snapped in time will result in a 5 yard penalty and loss of down. Offense is responsible for retrieving the ball and placing it on the QB-Tee.

 14.    Offensive player is down when a defensive player completes a One-Hand touch on the receiving player's torso. A head touch or a touch below the butt will not count as a tackle. The offensive player's knee or back touches the ground. Offensive player cannot use the ball to keep his balance. This will also be considered 'down by contact'.

15.   No running plays allowed.

16.   There is no blocking allowed. Once a receiver has made a catch, his teammates must not shield or block a defensive player.

17.    No double passes or shuffle passes. Laterals from a receiver to a teammate may take place as long as the initial pass is caught over the line of scrimmage.

18.    1 Offensive Coach on the field during play / 4 coaches maximum on the sidelines. No harassing talk to referees during play. Any coach who is disruptive will be warned only once. The referee in charge has the right to ask for a removal of a disruptive player or coach. Let's be respectful & have fun!

19.   SCORING: 

a) Touchdown = 6 points 

b)  Interception = 3 points (no points for INT on PAT) 

c)  Turnover on downs = 2 points 

d)  PAT = 1 point from the 3 yard line. 2 points from the 10yard line.

20. PENALTIES:

IF FOUL OCCURS IN THE END ZONE, THE BALL WILL BE PLACED AT THE 3 YARD LINE (UNLESS THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE IS INSIDE OF THE 3 YARD LINE, THEN THE BALL GOES BACK TO THE ORIGINAL LINE OF SCRIMMAGE).

·         OFFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE = 5 YARD PENALTY AND LOSS OF DOWN.

·         DEFENSIVE HOLDING = 5 YARD PENALTY - AUTOMATIC FIRST DOWN.

NOTE: If the original line of scrimmage was at the10 yard line or closer, the penalty will be half the distance to the goal.

·         PERSONAL FOUL:

NEW RULE: PENALTY BOX INFRACTION

• If both teams begin to exhibit overly aggressive behavior, the head referee or appointed field manager will have the power to call a PENALTY BOX INFRACTION. This means that both teams will be asked to adjourn to their opposing sidelines. The head coach, team captain referees and Appointed Field Manager will meet at the center of the field to discuss the overly aggressive behavior. All this will take place WHILE the clock is running. There will be a maximum of 5 minutes allowed during this phase, if teams cannot resolve their differences to resume playing with sportsmanship, the game will be stopped and BOTH teams will forfeit. If a second PENALTY BOX INFRACTION is called, a minimum of 2 minutes will be imposed no matter if the situation is remedied in less time. A third infraction will result in a forfeit for both teams. PLAY WITH INTEGRITY!
