SAN DIEGO COUNTY FOOTBALL OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION - THE WEEKLY BULL FOR FLAG FOOTBALL – October 5, 2026
Players Writing on Their Arms and Legs – This should be considered adornment and removed prior to the game. Thank you.
Pink Jerseys in October – Totally legal as long as the opponent is wearing their white, visitor jerseys.
Intentional Grounding and Spiking the Ball – Intentionally throwing a pass into an area unoccupied by an eligible receiver is an Intentional Grounding foul. The only exception to this rule is when the QB receives the snap and throws the ball straight down into the ground to stop the game clock. We call this “spiking” the ball and it is legal.
Flag Guarding – Reminder that the runner may not use her hands, arms or the ball to contact the opponent and deny the opponent the opportunity to pull or the flag.
Review of Legal Screen Blocking and Illegal Blocking
Screen blocking is taking a position to obstruct the path of an opponent without contacting the opponent with any part of the blocker's body. After assuming a legal position, a screen blocker may move to maintain a legal position by moving in the same direction or path as the opponent. Screen blocking shall take place without initiating contact during the process of the block. Establishing a stationary stance and obstructing your opponent’s path is Right of Place. If there is CONTACT, someone has committed a foul.
