8v8 LEAGUE RULES OF PLAY
Complete 8v8 Match Rules available under the Rules & Forms link at the top of this page.
Womens league only - there is a +5/-5 cap on score differential.
Slidetackles are not allowed in Coed leagues, but ARE allowed in the Men’s and Women’s leagues.
Coed League Rule Only: Designated Player (“DP”) Rule - Minimum 3 females required on the field at all times. One female may be substituted by a male player age 44+. At least one female player must be on the field to avoid a forfeit. A game is not forfeited if the only female player is injured during the course of the match. Possible scenarios:
Option #1 - Three females or more on the field
Option #2 - Two females on the field, plus 1 male age 44 or over
Option #3 - One female on the field, plus 1 male age 44+, and team plays short one player
Option #4 - No female on the field - game is subject to a forfeit, but encouraged to be played as a friendly match
Our use is limited from 2pm-6pm and we should avoid stepping onto any part of the turf field prior to our designated times to avoid encroaching on other permitted groups’ field time. We must vacate all areas inside and outside of the field within 15 mins. of the last game of the evening.
IMPORTANT: Ball Recovery Rule: If a person kicks an opponent’s ball over a fence, that person will not be allowed to play until the ball is returned. Anyone on their team can retrieve the ball. The player themself is advised, but not required, to recover the ball. If there is any confusion as to which team the ball belongs to, the captains should clarify with the referee. If the ball was kicked to an inaccessible area, the player who kicked the ball out should make a reasonable arrangement with the ball’s owner to replace the lost ball. The player who kicked the ball out cannot play until an agreement has been reached. This rule does NOT apply for a person/team who kicks their own ball over a fence.
