Event Rules and Information

July 8th @ 11 a.m.

1. Each participant will be allowed three punts, three passes, and three

placekicks as part of his/her competition.

2. Scores are based on both distance and accuracy. Example: If a participant

passes the ball 100 feet, but the ball lands 30 feet to the right of the measuring

tape, the final score would be 100­-30 = 70. Scores will be based on exact feet

and inches (no partial inches, round to nearest inch). No participant will receive a

negative score; instead their score will be "0."

3. The top score for passing, punting, and kicking will be taken and added

together for a cumulative total score.

4. A participant's final score is his/her cumulative total for the three individual

events. Example: If participant scores (40) for punting, (60) for passing, and (22)

for kicking, the participant's final score is 122.

5. If a participant goes over the line prior to or before releasing or making contact

with the ball, he/she will be penalized five (5) feet. Exception: in kicking, a

participant may go over the line without penalty provided the tee is placed on or

behind the line.

6. There is no violation if the kicking tee is kicked with the football during the

kicking event.

7. Scores will be determined from where a participant's punt/pass/kick first makes

contact with the ground. Bounces or rolls do not add to the score.

8. If a participant tries to punt, pass, or kick and misses the ball completely, it

DOES NOT count as an attempt and another attempt is allowed.

9. Trophies will be awarded to the top placer in each age division (6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13 & 14-15)

10. No football shoes, turf shoes, cleats or bare feet are allowed. Soft sole gym shoes are recommended.
