The NGFFL Board has approved four rules changes for 2010. These proposals are now being sent to the representatives of the 18 member cities; A proposal needs the support of 50% plus 1 of the voting members.
Here you can find the proposed rules changes, ask questions about the proposals and have your say.
The four proposed changes are:
1) Add 5-yard penalty for flag-guarding
2) Change the rush rule from the ‘box’ to a 5-yard offset
3) Allow teams to gain a first down in overtime
4) Change end-of-half timing and the extra plays
You can read all about the proposals, arguments for and against, and how they will specifically change the rule book by clicking here (Word document).
so if there is a strait rush can the qb run at any time past the line of scrimmage?
The QB can run for a gain once per possession. And he can cross the LOS at any point along the line.
