..ID Validation Requirements:

IDs with an expiration date of 9/27 will NOT require a validation sticker.
All other IDs that have not expired MUST have a validation sticker to be eligible to play.
Players without the required ID or validation sticker will NOT be allowed to play.

Alcohol Policy: This past weekend, the league was informed of players drinking alcohol at the fields. This cannot happen. We use public city parks, and alcohol is not allowed.
We do not enforce a full uniform, which is also why we require player IDs. However, all players on a team must wear the same color shirt or similar. Uniform numbers are not required, but matching shirt colors are required and will be enforced moving forward.

Consider this the official warning for the season. Any player caught with alcohol at a city park will not be allowed to play in the SWFFL for the remainder of the season.

1a. If a team wants to protest a player must be done before the end of the half not the end of the game.

1. All teams must be in the same similar color jersey or shirt by the THIRD WEEK OF SEASON. This goes for all Divisions. If one player does not have the same color of Jersey or Shirt that player will not be allowed to play.

2. Mushroom Flags Allowed in all Division.

3. If a team forfeits they are responsible for paying refs fees which is $50

4. If a player is caught playing with two teams other than coed that player will not be allowed to play with any other team that season.

5. Ref fees must be paid at the beginning of each game during ID check which is also at the beginning of each game.

6. Only show refs IDs of players that are there and ready to play the game.

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.
