| Out-of-Bounds / "OB" |
A receiving player’s first point of contact should be in-bounds. On the boundary line is out or OB. One foot in with one foot out, or "straddling" is OB. |
| Point Totals |
Games are to 13, with halftime at 7 |
| Start of the Game / Flip |
The first game of the match begins according to Section 9.A. and the usual choice of end zone, light/dark, or possession. The end zone and possession choices are reversed at the start of the second half. |
| Pull |
Each point starts with a pull.
Any pull that lands in the out-of-bounds area results in a brick. |
| Brick |
The brick mark is at mid-field. |
| Time Between Pulls |
Time limits are adjusted as follows:
30 seconds: Offense must be lined up
45 seconds: Offense must signal readiness
60 seconds: Defense must pull |
| Stall Count |
Stall count is to 7 (starting with 'Stalling 1' going to 7).
Stall occurs at the 'S' in seven. Then call "Stall"
Stall counts resume as in 15.a.5 with the following adaptations:
- "9 if over 8" becomes "6 if over 5"
- "6 if over 5" becomes "4 if over 3"
- Contested stall - First call "5" - Second and subsequent calls when due to a fast count "3" |
| Time Outs |
1 timeout per team per game. |
