Teams change ends to start the 2nd half. Game to 10, with scores
equaling 1, halftime when one team reaches 6 points.
Offense has 4 downs to cross each first down line. On 4th down the
offensive team must announce whether it will punt or go for a 1st
down. there is no actual punt . the field will be flipped and the
other team takes possession on their own 20 in the event of a

runner once the flag breaks. The runner can NOT lower his shoulder or
head to intentionally run through the defender.
