New Season -- New Rules
For the 2024 season, we have modified many of our rules to make it a more safe game for players and officials alike. Generally speaking, we will be abiding by the NFL Flag Rules found HERE. As is often the case, we have modified a few things to tailor the league to the Diamond City Sports mission, and they are outlined below.
1. 7-on-7, with a roster limit of 20.
2. Three-player line for both offense and defense, with one player allowed to release on offense.
3. The neutral zone will make its return (a one-yard physical marker that provides a buffer between the offensive and defensive lines). 4. Only the line may have contact.
5. Three timeouts total.
6. Clock stops only at the two-minute warning and on timeouts and official stoppages.
7. All fumbles are live.
Please see the Frequently Asked Questions section below, as well as this recorded rules call with Diamond City Sports President Kevin Sickle and representatives from some of our teams: 2024 Diamond City Flag Football Rules Call
