    TOURNAMENT RULES

    Official Rules   UPA 10th edition.

    Assessing points    Assessing team must have 7 players on the line. 1st point is at 5 minutes. One point for every 5 minutes thereafter until game begins.

    Time-outs   Two minutes each. Three time outs per game, no more than two per half. Finals: two time outs per half. Each team can use only one time out in overtime (12-all), but NO TIME OUTS IN THE TIME CAP.

    Half-time   5 minute mirror half time at 7.

    Points   Most games played to 13, cap at 15. Semis to 15/17. Finals to 17/19.

    Time cap    Time cap at 1h 15m at the single horn blow: finish that point and add 2 to the highest score. Hard cap at 1h 30m at the double horn blow: finish that point and end the game. If it’s a tie, play one more point. A point is defined to be "in progress" from the moment the offense raises their hand to accept the pull.
