The LFL Rules and Regulations Uncovered

Created By: Brianz815@gmail.com

Complete listing of rules and my source of information please visit: http://www.lflus.com/lfl101/

Most people are not familiar with the rules and regulations of the LFL. I would like to explain to you the differences and my personal opinion of the rules. We are going to discuss these topics: Playing Field, Scoring, Offensive, Defense, Team Roster, and Time of Play.

First lets talk about the PLAYING FIELD, which is 50 YARD FIELD
 8 YARD END-ZONES 
30 YARDS WIDE. This is about half the size of at NFL regulation field. This works out very well since the girls are much smaller than NFL players. Also as a spectator its awesome because every seat in the house is able to view the entire field without bring binoculars.

Scoring is one of the most important parts of any game… Now, Lets discuss how it’s measured in the LFL. SCORING Touchdown’s is consistent to scoring in the NFL, which is 6 PTS. CONVERSIONS on the other hand are much different because teams can only RUN OR PASS; there are no extra point kicks. Now, if a team just scored a touchdown they have 2 options CONVERSION RUN OR PASS … Option 1: (2YD LINE) = 1PT or 
 Option 2: (5YD LINE) = 2PT.
 Although there is no kicking for extra points like the NFL, I actually find it more enjoyable because I think it adds more excitement to the game, since they have to run or pass the ball only.

Next Topic of our discussion is going to be about the Offensive and Defensive players and there roles on the field, this is one the biggest differences from the LFL from the NFL. For both offense and defense each team has7 players on the field at anytime. On the Offensive side the players positions include: 1 quarterback, 2 running backs, 1 down line women, and 3 wide receivers. On the Defensive side the player’s positions include: 2 down line women, 1 linebacker, 2 cornerbacks, and 2 safeties. Each team’s roster consists of 14 Active and 6 inactive players. The extra 6 players are there as replacements for injury or fatigue on the field. Additionally they help motivate other teammates during play.

The last but least thing you should know about the LFL is the time of play. Each team only receives 35 seconds in between plays similar to the NFL, but the Time of play is quite different it consists of two 17-minute halves, one 15-minute halftime and 8-minute sudden death overtime if the need arises.

Well thanks for following, that’s the Scoop! Stay with us and learn more about the LFL. If you have any questions about the league please shoot me an email and I will get them answered.
