NFL FLAG Tournament Rulebook will be used.  

  • All teams will be put into a Pool Play Format. 
  • Every team is guaranteed a minimum of (3) three pool play games. 
    • If there are only two teams, you will play a best of three (first team to win two games). Once a winner is determined in a best of three series, no additional games will be played as the Champion has already qualified.
    • If there are three teams in your division, you will play each other team once. From there, the top two teams will go directly into a championship game.
    • If there are an odd number of teams higher than 3, one team in that division will be randomly selected to play a fourth pool play game. The fourth pool play game counts towards overall standings. 
  • The TOP 50% teams from Pool Play in each division will advance to a single elimination playoff bracket. 

All teams will be reseeded according to the following criteria for bracket play: Least Games Lost, Most games Won, Head-to-Head Record (2 teams only), Points Against, Points For, Coin Toss.
