Intramural Rules
4-on-4 Flag Football
All current University of Nebraska Flag Football rules will be in effect with the following modifications:
Game balls will be available at the playing site.
All players must present their current UNL photo I.D. prior to each game.
Teams will consist of 6 playing members.
A minimum of 5 players must be on site, signed in, and ready to play to avoid a forfeit. Game time is forfeit time. Teams should check in with Intramural Staff Assistant a minimum of 15 minutes before their scheduled playi ng time.
A coin flip will decide first team possession.
Each team will receive 5 possessions to score as many points as possible. Teams will alternate possessions of the ball.
Teams will begin each possession at the 30 yard line (unless changed by penalty) with a first down. Teams will receive an additional first down after crossing the 20 yard line.
The 40 yard line serves as the offensive team's own goal line. If the offensive team is downed behind the 40 yard line, a safety is called, the defensive team receives 2 points and their possession of the ball begins at the 30 yard line.
Interceptions may not be returned and will result in an immediate dead ball and two points awarded to the defense. The offensive team will lose possession and the defensive team will take over at the 30 yard line. This includes passes intercepted in the offensive team's own end zone.
Four players must be on the line of scrimmage at the time of the snap.
No time limit on games. Each team will receive 1 time-out per game and 1 time-out per overtime period (if necessary).
Scoring: Touchdowns - 6 points, PAT from the 3 yard line - 1 point, PAT from the 10 yard line - 2 points, safety - 2 points.
Mercy rule: If the point differential is too great to recover from after 4 possessions the game will be called due to the mercy rule. (example: team A is leading by leading by 11 or more points and team B has 1 possession remaining)
Participants should be aware that there is a risk of injury in participation of intramural sports. Individuals participate in intramural sports at their own risk.
