Rules and Regulations
- The 2025/26 NFL FLAG Tournament Rulebook will be used for this tournament.
- All teams will be put into a Pool Play Format with a guarantee of at least 5 total games for the tournament.
- Every team is guaranteed a minimum of (3) three pool play games. a. If there are only two teams, you will play a best of three (first team to win two games). Once a winner is determined in a best of three series, no additional games will be played as the Champion has already qualified. b. If there are three teams in your division, you will play each other team once. From there, the top two teams will go directly into a championship game. c. If there are an odd number of teams higher than 3, one team in that division will be randomly selected to play a fourth pool play game. The fourth pool play game counts towards overall standings.
- Every team will be in the elimination playoffs. If a team loses their first game, they can play a consolation match to make 5 games.
- All teams will be reseeded according to the following criteria for bracket play: a. Most Games Won b. Head-to-Head Record c. Points Against d. Points For e. Coin Toss
NOTES:
- Games are 12-minute halves with a 2-minute halftime.
- No ties. In the event of a tie, each time will have 1 drive starting 5 yards beyond the 50-yard line and will have three plays to score (college football rules). In the event that the game reaches the 4th quarter of overtime, teams must attempt 2-point conversions after touchdowns.
- Each team is awarded ONE 30-second timeout per half.

All games run throughout the day on Thursday, June 18, 2026, from morning through evening. Our younger divisions — especially the boys’ divisions — start earliest in the morning, and we will roll through the rest of the day from there. A full schedule will be released as registration closes.
RULES
Gameplay and penalties follow the official NFL FLAG tournament rules. Full rulebook: https://nflflag.com/tournaments/rules
MULTI-TEAM / PLAY-UP POLICY
Players may roster with multiple teams across age divisions, as long as they only play up — never down. A player’s natural age sets the floor: they can compete in their own division and in any older division, but they cannot drop into a younger one.
Example: a natural 12U player may play on a 12U team and also play up on a 14U team. A 14U player may not play down on a 12U team.
