Pro Rules:
Teammates play on the same side to add these rules.
Pick-6 Rule:
Intercept a thrown ball that hits any part of the chair (including goal posts) before it hits the ground:
Option #1:Take a knee immediately after the interception for 3 points.
Option #2: After interception is made, run to opposite goal until touched with 2 hands by opponent. At the spot of contact, attempt your touchdown throw for 6 points and an extra point try. Miss touchdown throw and you get no points (No points for the original interception).
Note: The interception rule is always in play for the other team during the TD throw.
Muffed Extra Point Attempt Rule:
Catch a missed extra point with one hand only!
Option #1: Catch the missed extra point with one hand for one point
Option #2: Catch missed extra point attempt with one hand and run towards your opponent’s goal until contacted with 2 hands. At the point of contact, you can attempt a touchdown throw. Miss the Touchdown and you get no points and the ball goes to the other team.
Note: Interception rule is always in play for the other team
Hail Mary:
A team losing at 54 or greater has one chance at redemption.
- Subtract the winning score by the losing score to determine the paces. (Example: 54-34 = 20) (20 paces away from your goal).
- With back against your goal take the 20 paces away from goal and turn around to face your opponent’s goal.
- If any part of the chair or goal post is hit on the fly from the Hail Mary pass, the game is tied up.
- If a touchdown is thrown from the Hail Mary pass you win. A total miss will result in a loss.
Laterals:
Both Pick-6 and Muffed Extra Point Attempts, laterals can be used to reach or get closer to the opponent’s goal. A lateral is a sideways or backward direction toss.
Blocking:
Blocking is also allowed during Interception and Muffed Extra point returns, to enable the offense to get closer to the opponent’s goal.
