                              CO-ED RULE

                                                            (As of 10/2/2022)

Article 1. Touchdowns

• 6 points awarded for all male participation
• 9 points awarded for female participation as the operative player.

Article 1. Extra Points

1 point awarded for all male participation play from 3 yard line

• 2 points awarded for all male participation from 10 yard line
• 2 points awarded for female participation play from 3 yard line. Only qualifies if it fulfills all Operative Player requirements above (i.e. if a male passes to a male and then simply hands off or pitches to a female just before crossing the goal line, this is not a 2 or 3 point play).
• 3 points awarded for female participation play from 10 yard li

By the third (3^rd) offensive play regardless of when it occurs (s) in the Co-Ed League (only) A FEMALE PLAYER “” MUST”” BE INVOLVED IN THE PLAY.  Getting a first down in regards to this rule does not matter.  A female is involved in the play by being the QB, Quasi (and the ball is thrown to her), having the ball laterally pitched to her, having a pass thrown to her (referee’s judgment), or run/running with the ball.  In regards to this rule a female is not involved in the play if she centers the ball, only goes out for a pass and the ball is not thrown to her, in the Quasi position and the ball is not passed to her, in the QB position and the ball is snapped to another male player, or on defense and intercepts the ball.  If on defense and intercepts the ball, male or female, and in the process of returning the ball, pitches, fumbles forward, or lose the ball in the air and the ball is caught by an original offensive female/male player this “”Will  Not”” count as being involved in the 3^rd play. Being involved by the 3^rd play must be done in an offensive capacity. Penalty for this Co-Ed rule violation is 10 yds and loss of down.

In addition to the new Co-Ed Rule officials calling in these games will be required to say--loud enough for teams to hear you—that the play is open or close. Open means any team member can be involved in the play. Close means a female player “MUST” be involved in that play. Also on a close play, the team is allowed to have all females on the field other teams no changes required.
