Rules of the game ...
What happens if you knock on?
A knock on occurs when a player, carry or attempting to catch the ball; drops or fumbles it so the ball goes onto the ground towards the opponents' goal line.
A free pass is awarded to the non-offending team unless advantage can be played. Play continues if the ball is dropped behind.
What happens if you are offside?
Once a tag has been made, the offside line runs from the touch lines through the middle of the ball parallel to the goal line. All defenders must make an effort to get back on their side of the ball and not deliberately stand offside blocking the pass or waiting for the interception.
Offside is penalised by awarding a free pass to the non- offending team. As a general rule the first pass after a tag must be allowed to be made cleanly.
Going to ground!
All players should attempt to stay on their feet. A free pass will be given to the defending team if a ball carrier goes to ground for any reason. A free pass can be awarded if a defender goes to ground and interferes with play.
Kicking!
There will be no kicking allowed in general play. In the event of a draw teams could be separated by conversion kicks (subject to local rules if posts are available).
