SATURDAY LEAGUE RULES OF PLAY
Complete 8v8 Match Rules can also be viewed by clicking the above blue link or under the Rules & Forms link at the top of this page.
Slidetackles are not allowed in BAASL coed leagues.
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.
