Flag Pulling: 1. A legal flag pull takes place when the ball carrier is in full possession of the ball. 2. Defenders can dive to pull flags but cannot tackle, hold or run through the ball-carrier when pulling flags. 3. It is illegal to attempt to strip or pull the ball from the ball-carrier’s possession at any time. 4. If a player’s flag inadvertently falls off during the play, the player is down immediately upon possession of the ball and the play ends. 5. A defensive player may not intentionally pull the flags off of a player who is not in possession of the ball. 6. Flag guarding is an attempt by the ball-carrier to obstruct the defender’s access to the flags by dropping the head, hand, arm or shoulder or intentionally covering the flags with the football jersey. Formations: 1. Offenses must a minimum of one player on the line of scrimmage (the center) and up to four (4) players on the line of scrimmage. The QB must be off the line of scrimmage. A. One player at a time may go in motion 1-yard behind and parallel to the line of scrimmage. B. No motion is allowed toward the line of scrimmage. 2. Movement by a player who is set or a player who runs toward the line of scrimmage in motion is considered a false start. 3. The center must snap the ball with a rapid and continuous motion between his/her legs to a player in the backfield, and the ball must completely leave his/her hands.
