OFFSIDES
The team against which the penalty was made
has the option of accepting or declining the
penalty. If the penalty is accepted, the off end-
ing team is penalized 5 yards, and the down is
repeated. If the penalty is declined, the result
of the play stands and the ball is put into play
at the yard line at which the play stopped. The
down advances as normal.
INELIGIBLE RECEIVERS
If a forward pass hits an ineligible receiver (of-
fensive tackle, guard, or center), the off ensive
team is called for illegal touching and is penal-
ized 15 yards from the line of scrimmage and
play is resumed on the next down.
Touchdown 6 pts
Field Goal 3 pts
Safety 2 pts
Extra Point after TD 1 pt
2-Point Conversion 2 pts
Football games are divided into four quarters,
with a special break in the action at halftime.
You’re probably familiar with how football
works, but here’s how it works in NFL Vibrating
Football:
1ST QUARTER:
Play begins with the opening Coin Toss and
the ensuing Opening Kickoff .
2ND QUARTER:
Teams switch end zones at the start of the
second quarter and play continues at the op-
posite end of the fi eld. The team that has the
ball retains possession and continues its drive.
3RD QUARTER:
The 2nd Half begins with a kickoff . The team
that received the opening kickoff must kick off
to begin the 3rd quarter.
4TH QUARTER:
This is the fi nal quarter of regulation, so pay
attention to the score and plan your play
accordingly. The fourth quarter begins as the
second quarter, with the off ense and defense
swapping goals.
END OF THE GAME
At the end of 4 quarters, the team with the
most points is declared the winner. If the
teams are tied, a sudden-death overtime
period must be played. The length of the over-
time period will be equal to the length of the
quarters you decided on before the game.
The fi rst team to score wins. If neither team is
able to score by the end of the overtime pe-
riod, a second overtime period is played. This
is continued until one team is able to score
and win the game.
OVERTIME RULES
The overtime period is played following the
same rules as the regulation game. The over-
time period begins with a coin toss, following
the same rules as those that began the game.
If a second overtime period is required, the
team that received the kickoff to start the fi rst
overtime must kick off to begin the second
overtime. Teams will continue alternating the
overtime kickoff until one team wins.
Quarter Length: A quarter consists of
30 plays. For a faster game, the number
of plays per quarter may be reduced.
Players must agree to the quarter length
before the game begins.
