FlagMag.com Flag Football Rule Book

The Flag Football Magazine (FlagMag.com) was created in 1998 as an organization with intentions of developing the game of flag football across all borders. Using its World Cup event as a means to gather players from different cultures to participate in a great sporting atmosphere has been crucial to the federation’s success. Through hard work and dedication the FlagMag.com has gradually developed its concept around the world growing into a fully operational federation with over 12 affiliated countries. Within the USA the FlagMag.com manages World Cup Regional NIT Tournaments for teams that choose to qualify and participate in the World Cup Open Invitational.

One major concern during the early days of this federation was to be able to have a large population of the flag football market playing under one rule book. Due to the size of the market, over 4million people between the ages of 18 and 40 play the sport regularly in the USA. The current FlagMag.com rules were created through strategically picking and mending rules from different organizations, leagues or well organized countries. The rules offered by FlagMag.com were created to be balanced and fair; therefore we can claim that the rules are universalized to complement anyone that plays the game. Certain positive aspects of the game were picked from countries such as the handing back the flag was seen in Canada, while the 7man rules were developed from the Mexican and Canadian game.

In summary FlagMag.com rule book was put together so that a majority of the teams or players meet in the middle. The idea is to make sure that newcomer’s could easily adapt to the rules, hence not as an obstacle to a team or player’s style of play. The FlagMag.com rules have been extremely successful at our World Cup event, USA regional qualifiers, Leagues and our World Tour tournaments positioned on the continents.
