- Games consist of two 20-minute halves.
- Each team receives 2 timeouts per half.

- All offensive possessions begin at the team's 5-yard line, unless otherwise determined by a penalty or turnover rule.
- There are no kickoffs or punts.
Downs & First Downs
- The offense receives 4 downs to reach midfield.
- Crossing midfield results in a first down.
- Once the first down is achieved, the offense receives a new set of downs to score.

While inside a no-run zone, the offense must advance the ball through a legal forward pass.

- The quarterback may run the football once per offensive possession.
- Once the quarterback has used their designated run, the quarterback may not run again during that possession.
Defensive Rush
- A defensive player wishing to rush the quarterback must begin at least 7 yards from the line of scrimmage.
- Once the ball is snapped, an eligible rusher may immediately cross the line of scrimmage.
- A defender who begins closer than 7 yards may not rush unless the ball has been handed off or otherwise legally transferred according to league rules.
Seven-Second Rule
- If the defense does not rush the quarterback, the quarterback has 7 seconds to release the football.
