                                                                     Changes for 2008  

In order to conform more closely with Football Canada Flag Football Rules the following changes are being made:

1-The width of the playing field has been reduced from 40 yards to 25 yards:

Game fields will be 80 yards between the goalposts with 10 yard end zones. Fields will be 25 yards wide.

2-The number of players on the field has been reduced from 12 to 6:

Number of Players:
     Each team will have 6 players on the field at any time.

3-During each offensive series a different player must be the one advancing the ball on each down:

Offensive Plays: 
     
On each of the 5 downs a different player must carry the ball or be the target of a pass.

4-An equal play rule has been put into effect:

Equal Play Rule::

    Each player will play one half of the game on offence and one half on defence. The switch will take place at half time. Where a  team has less than 12 players one or more players will have to remain on the field when possession of the ball changes. This should be done through a rotation that maintains equal play for all. No players are permitted to play the entire game.
