The fifth Annual Eric Perkins Flag Football Tournament will be held on
Saturday, November 28th. 

Kickoff is at 10AM on the  varsity “Turf” field. 

To reserve a spot for your team, please submit a check for $100 (made out to MHS) to Coach Erik Ormberg
in the guidance office. All proceeds will go to the Eric M. Perkins Memorial Football Scholarship.

The driving force behind this tournament was to commemorate Eric by
celebrating his life and the sport he loved.  In four years this tournament has raised nearly
$10,000 in Eric’s memory.  Previous winners  of the Eric Perkins Memorial Scholarship include:

Rules:

• Games are 12 minutes running time.
• 10 yards is a first down.
• One hand touch downs a player, defense calls it.
• Offense start at the 35 and will go towards the endzone/goalposts.
• Kick the extra-point (2 points) from the 10 with no defense or run a play with a defense from the 2.5 yard line (1 point).
• Field Goals are allowed, all FGs are against no Defense.
• You can blitz once every set of downs.  You must yell “BLITZ” so people know you blitzed.
• Pass rush will be a “5 Mississippi” Count outloud.
• *Center is an ELIGIBLE receiver.  THIS IS A NEW RULE THIS YEAR.
• Fumbled snap is a live ball, defense can recover, but not advance, offense can pick it up and proceed.
• INTs can be advanced/run back for TDs.  Teams flip and start on the yard line where the ball was INTed and downed.
• There is no punting.  If you fail to convert on 4^th down the defensive team takes over on the 35 yard line going in.
• Report scores to me at end of each game, Win/Loss record determines who goes to the playoff.
  

OVERTIME:  If there is a tie:  Teams will kick extra points from the ten yard line.  If both teams make it you move back five yards for each “inning”.  Coin flip determines who goes first.

PLAYOFF/CHAMPIONSHIP OVERTIME:  Five minutes of timed play is the first OT, if still tied, another five minutes.  No sudden death, just who is winning at the end of five minute overtime.  We keep going until someone wins. 

*If there are any questionable calls, teams need to work it out and find a compromise.  There are no officials.

All are welcomed to attend the event and cheer on a team.
