Specific NCAA Rules

• No 5-yard halo on restarts. If a defender is in the 5-yard halo and plays the attacker, a technical foul can ensue.
• On a man down face off, a player cannot be brought out of the attack or defense areas to cover the wing line.
• If there is a pre-whistle FO violation, the FO middie does not have to leave the field.
• After 2 pre- or post-whistle violations in a half, subsequent violations on the FO will result in a technical foul.

Game Balls: Each team will receive 6 game balls at check-in. The team is responsible for balls on their offensive end-line.  Additionally, a good plan would be to have each player bring 2 balls in their bag so that your team has enough balls for warm-up and the tournament.

Code of Conduct Violations: In addition to the NCAA rules, any player, coach or anyone associated with the team who violates the Code of Conduct will be subject to a Warning, Ejection from a Game or Ejection from the Tournament depending on the severity of the infraction. An ejection of a coach also results in the offending team being given a two minute, non-releasable penalty.  Any player or coach ejected from a game will not be allowed to participate in the next scheduled game. Any coach or player ejected a second time will not be allowed to participate in any remaining games in the tournament.

Number of Coaches on a Sideline: Each team will limit the number of coaches in the bench area to three, a Head Coach and 2 Assistant Coaches.

Game scores:  After each game, the coaches are required to record the game score in the Field Book and initial. DL staffers or volunteers will gather and record the scores.  For playoff seeding – A win will be given three (3) points, a tie will be given one (1) point and a loss will be given zero points.  –

Clean up of bench areas after games: Each coach is requested to ensure that the bench area is picked-up after each game.

We will make every attempt to play every minute of every game but we will not jeopardize the safety of any player.
