Intramurals Game Rules Football 3: Participation Rules
Shirts/Jerseys
- All jerseys and shirts must be tucked into the player's pants so there is no interference with the pulling of the player's flags.
- Shirts must be long enough so they remain tucked in the pants/shorts during the entire down. (Exception: If a player's shirt falls out due to the action of the game, as long as the player continues to tuck in his/her shirt, no penalty will be assessed.)
- Offending player(s) will be warned and asked to tuck in their shirt. If a player refuses and fails to tuck his/her shirt, then the referee may give an unsportsmanlike conduct foul and assess a 15 yard penalty to the offending player's team.
Shoes/Cleats and Other Clothing
- All players must wear shoes with closed toes and heels. No bare feet or thongs will be allowed.
- All cleats must be made of rubber. No metal cleats will be allowed. Use of illegal cleats may result in expulsion from the game.
- Players may wear gloves and headgear that consist of a soft, pliable, and non-abrasive material (see jewelry policy). If any clothing or equipment is considered dangerous, a supervisor or official has the right to declare it illegal.
