Basic Rules For East Broadway Middle School

 

1.     ANYONE DAMAGING SCHOOL PROPERTY IN ANYWAY COULD BE IMMEDIATELY EJECTED FROM OUR LEAGUE AND DEPENDING ON THE OFFENSE THE ENTIRE TEAM COULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.  PLEASE RESPECT THE SCHOOL AND its PROPERTY.  WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN A GREAT OPPORUTNITY TO UTILIZE EXCELLENT FIELDS – LET’S NOT BLOW IT.

2.     Please park in the parking lots and on one side of the bus loop only.  Do not park on the grass or in the student drop off loop located in front of the school.  There is plenty of parking located at the site.

  1. The main school parking lot is only has one entrance located on the south side of the school.
  2. The bus loop and school of technology parking lot entrance is located on Oakdale between East Broadway and the railroad tracks.  If you park on the bus loop please only park on the right hand side of the pavement only and be completely on the pavement – Stay off the Grass!!!!!
  3. There are two gates into the fenced in fields but only one will be open and the tent will be set up in front of it.  The gate that will be open is located directly behind the school and between fields B & C.  Porta Johns will also be located at this gate.
  4. VERY IMPORTANT – DO NOT FOR ANY REASON CLIMB THE FENCE INTO OR OUT OF THE FIELDS.  IF YOU DO JUMP THE FENCE YOU SHOULD JUST KEEP GOING TO YOUR CAR BECAUSE YOU WILL BE EJECTED AND FINED ($100) IMMEDIATELY.  PLEASE ENTER AND EXIT THROUGH THE DESIGNATED GATE.
  5. Do to the fact we have all (5) fields set up inside the fenced area there is very little warm up area inside the fence.  Please use the large field (soccer) field located outside the fence and inside the bus loop if you need more space to warm up.  Please do not use any of the smaller grass areas locate immediately next to the school. 

 

**Local Rule Modifications**

 

  1. The latest USFTL Rulebook governs all play and is applied as interpreted by the local Director with the exceptions of the items listed below.
  2. “Point Rule” – In addition to the USFTL rule of a game ending when a team is up 17 pts. with two minutes to play, in Toledo, a team that is up 33 pts. at anytime in the second half or 25 pts. with 10 minutes to play will end the game.  This rule is modified to help shorten “blowouts” and keep the tournament on schedule.  The Referees should let both teams know when a team is approaching this margin of victory.
  3. “Ejection Rule” – Referees do have the authority to sit players down for any number of plays to diffuse a situation.  Any game ejection carries a game you are in PLUS two additional games and a $50 fine no matter what point in the game the ejection takes place.  .  If you throw a punch, you are automatically ejected from the tournament and fined $50.  The tournament director has the authority to modify the ejection rule at any point to adjust for the situation
  4. “Player Protests” – Player protests must be made before the end of the first half along with a $50 refundable protest fee should the protest go through – THIS APPLIES TO A PLAYER PROTEST ONLY.  You must pay $50 to even view another teams roster.
  5. “Rules Interpretation Protest” – Should you feel a rule was misapplied on the field, you may call timeout BEFORE the next play begins and present the head referee with the rule IN THE USFTL RULEBOOK within 3 minutes of the timeout.  Should the rule show the referee was in error the play will be corrected and you will receive your timeout back.  Have your rulebook ready, we will not wait for you to find it.  THIS RULE ONLY APPLIES TO HOW A RULE IS APPLIED – NOT - A REFEREES JUDGEMENT CALL.
  6. “Game Over” – once the final whistle blows the game is considered complete and final.  NO protests of any type will be allowed or even listened to once a game is over.
