Once the ball is handed off, the seven-yard rule no longer is in effect and all defenders may go behind the line of scrimmage. A special marker, or the referee, will designate seven yards from the line of scrimmage. Remember, no blocking or tackling is allowed. If the field monitor or referee witnesses any acts of tackling, elbowing, cheap shots, blocking, or any unsportsmanlike act, the game will be stopped and the player will be ejected from the tournament. Trash talking is illegal.
Officials have the right to determine offensive language.
If trash talking occurs, the referee will give one warning. If it continues, the player or players will be ejected from the game. Penalties All penalties will be called by the referee. Referees determine incidental contact that may result from normal run of play. All penalties will be assessed from the line of scrimmage.
