DON MEREDITH DIVISION AMENDED RULES

​

​

• 'No Run' zones are eliminated. Teams may run the ball anywhere on the field.

• Defenders may NOT rush the passer unless there is a legal handoff executed in the backfield.

• One Coach for each team is permitted on the field pre and post snap to help their players, but post snap at a safe distance to plays completion.

• If the ball falls to, or touches the ground during the initial center to quarterback exchange, the play is ruled a 'Do Over' with no loss of down, once per down. On a second consecutive occurrence, the down is consumed.

• Defenders MUST line up at least five yards from the line of scrimmage prior to the snap. If the ball is spotted on or inside the 5-yard line, the distance is reduced to three (3) yards.
