• Captains must manage their teams.
  • Sub fairly. Calm down or sub out aggressive players.
  • Dangerous or hotheaded players will be removed from the league.

• Share team players with the opposing team if they are short-handed and you have extras.
• Teams call offsides on themselves.
  • Ignore calls from the defense.
  • Do not call offside on newbies unless they’re way behind the defensive line and waiting for the ball.

• Newbie Rules:
  • New players wear an armband. Experience players should let them play the ball.

  • A whole team can be dropped if multiple players are causing issues.
• 3-Goal Rule
  • No more than 3 goals per player per game will count.
  • After that, support teammates – don’t dominate.
