NSFL RULES

The Rules that follow have been created to maintain a level of FAIRNESS and playability in the NSFL.  The Commissioner reserves the right to adjust the rules at any time the means are necessary.  In the event of problems not covered by these rules, the Commissioner shall be the final arbiter after consulting the League Officials.  Any suggestions for improvements or corrections to these rules should be forwarded to the League front office.

Any Team found to use an illegal play in any NSFL game will forfeit the game played regardless if that play had any bearing on the outcome of the game.  Also, any team that violates the 4th down rule, QB sneak/run rule or Onside kick rule will also forfeit the game regardless if that play had any bearing on the outcome of the game.

DO NOT USE ILLEGAL PLAYS AND DO NOT VIOLATE THE 4TH DOWN RULE, QB SNEAK / RUN AND ONSIDE KICK RULE. If you cannot abide by these rules, please find a different league to play in.

It is not fair to your opponent when you play with illegal plays or break the 4th down rule, QB sneak / run and onside kick rules.
