FOOTBALL RULES
TITLE 3
SECTION 3.8
3:18.0 MANDATORY PLAY RULE
Every player eligible to participate at game time must participate in the game and specifically must participate in a minimum of six (6) plays from the
line of scrimmage; except for the Mitey-Mite division whose participants must have a minimum of twelve (12) plays from scrimmage.
A play shall not count toward fulfillment of the MPR if the play results in a penalty which causes the down to be replayed.
All players shall be provided their mandatory plays by participation in “active” plays, without the intent to minimize the action or integrity of the plays.
Plays such as, but not limited to, having the center snap the ball to the quarterback who then falls to the ground, or “takes a knee”, while
substitutes are playing the other positions, shall not be considered as “active” plays.
Extra points and kick-offs do not count to satisfy the “plays from scrimmage” clause in this rule. Unless a stricter rule is put into place by National, the
following guide shall be used to determine the exact minimum number of players eligible at game time. Quarterback sneaks and the like shall be
considered violations of this point of this rule. All timed downs, including punts and punt returns count toward mpr requirements.

3:18.1 MANDATORY PLAY-RULE – IMPLEMENTATION
All participants must have their mandatory plays by the end of the third quarter or must start the fourth quarter, and they shall remain on the field until
they have received their minimum mandated plays.
If 12 or more players have not received their mandated plays by the start of the 4th quarter, game will be over by forfeit.
3:18.2 MANDATORY PLAY RULE – DENIAL OF GUARANTEED PLAY
The right of each participant to guaranteed playing time can be denied by a Franchise/team for disciplinary reasons and provided that they are the
result of violations of published rules such as, attendance, scholastic or disciplinary problems in school or as a team member.
The guaranteed playing time of a participant can be denied for medical reasons and as the result of injury during a game. A parent may also request
that their child not be allowed to participate however, this request must be in writing.
When a participant is denied their right to play in a game, this information must be noted on the MPR roster and the opposing team notified during the
pre-game weigh-in. Further, the Franchise must notify parents of this action prior to game-time unless it occurs during the game.
3:18.3 MANDATORY PLAY RULE – NOTIFICATION REQUIRED
COACHES - It shall be the responsibility of the Franchise President to inform and instill upon each coach the provision of the Mandatory Play Rule
prior to their appointment.
PARTICIPANTS – This rule must be explained to all participants, telling them that if a coach is wrapped up in a game and loses track of their playing
time, they should politely remind the coach that they need plays. Further it is recommended that coaches and participants practice interacting
with the MPR Monitors as they go into and out of the game, so that plays are recorded properly.
PARENTS – At parents meetings, through written communication and in all published program rules, Franchises must advise parents of provisions of
the Mandatory Play Rule. If parents believe that their child has not received his or her guaranteed playing time, they must have an opportunity to
be heard and register their complaint with the Head Coach and the Franchise Board of Directors. If the matter cannot be remedied at the
Franchise level, parents shall then be directed to send a letter to the NJAYF for their investigation and disposition of the matter.
PA SYSTEM – At all games where there is a PA System in use, the provisions of the Mandatory Play Rule must again be explained to all spectators
and fans, at all games.
3:18.4 MANDATORY PLAY RULE – ROSTERS AND MONITORS
ROSTERS - A MPR Roster shall be designed and distributed by the Executive Board annually. The roster shall be completed in the very same
manner as the Official Team Roster, and shall contain the jersey number and name of each participant. Players shall be listed on the MPR
Roster in numerical order. There shall also be a column or spaces provided to accommodate those participants who for medical, disciplinary,
tardiness at weigh-in, ineligibility or scholastic reason, are not being permitted to play. Also if a player is injured during the course of the game,
this must be recorded as well.
MONITORS - Each Franchise team shall appoint two responsible adults to serve as MPR Monitors per game. It is recommended that those serving in
this capacity are familiar with the team’s players and if possible, this person should be a permanent part of the team. One monitor will work the
home sideline and monitor his own team, while the other monitor will work the visiting sideline and monitor the opposing team.
During the game, monitors shall record the number of plays run by each participant. Once a player has attained their mandatory requirements, there is
no need to continue monitoring that player. Monitors shall notify the Head coach of each team, at the close of the third quarter of those players
that have not received their required plays and the monitor must remind him again just before the start of the fourth quarter, when all players that
do not have their plays must start.
Monitors are not to coach or signal plays and anyone caught doing so will be ejected from the game by game officials. Monitors have free run of the
sidelines, but may not stay in the team coaches’ box. Should it be determined that they are being used by team officials for other than their
intended responsibilities on the sidelines, the Franchise shall be charged with cheating and the monitor removed.
Each of the 2 completed MPR sheets will be signed by each Franchise Monitor with each monitor taking a copy for his team’s file. The two signed
sheets (one each home and visiting team) shall be kept on file according to franchise procedures and league instructions.
Monitors are instructed not to sign the MPR Roster if he/she feels there are any unresolved discrepancies.
3:18.5 MANDATORY PLAY RULE – MAINTENANCE OF MPR RECORDS
All MPR Rosters are the property of the NJAYF and shall not be destroyed for a period of ninety days. They must be maintained on file by each
franchise and in the event a complaint is filed for alleged violation of the Mandatory Play Rule, these records must be made available to the
Hearing Authority; Failure to comply with this section shall result in a finding against the Franchise for intentionally violating the Mandatory Play
Rule.
3:18.6 MANDATORY PLAY RULE – PENALTIES
Franchise teams found to have violated the Mandatory Play Rule shall forfeit that game. In finding a violation, coaches may be suspended from two
games to one full year, or they may be placed on probation for an indeterminate period of time, by the Hearing Authority.
Participants who were denied their guaranteed playing time must start in a minimum of two of the next scheduled games and must be allowed double
the maximum number of plays allotted for those games, In other words, if at game time, players must receive 8 plays, then the offended player
receives double or 16 plays during that game as well.
The NJAYF Football Commissioner will notify the next two opponents to inform them of this ruling.
3:19.0 LOPSIDED RULE –Score Differential & Game Procedures
An intentionally run-up score occurs when a team continues to pour it on even after the game is in their favor
and far out of reach for their opponents. Coaches who practice this are to be disciplined by the local
Conference/Association. AYF considers this type of coaching contrary to its purposes. The NJAYF
lopsided score rule is 4 touchdowns or 30 points, whichever comes first. Once the score differential
reaches 4 touchdowns or 30 points, the game clock will become a running clock. Once the game clock
becomes a running clock it can only be stopped for injuries, official or team time outs. It will be the
losing team’s preference as to whether they will receive a normal kickoff or they may choose to take the
ball on their own 40 yard line. The winning team is prohibited from running any misdirection, counter,
reverses or “trick plays” of any kind, or any play that has been consistently run with success during the
game. Skill position starts must be replaced whenever possible. Conferences and Associations cannot
limit the winning team to only running between the tackles. Mandatory plays must be completed
regardless of the score or game clock. If the winning team does not complete their required mandatory
plays, the full force of the mandatory play rules will be in effect.
3:19.1 LOPSIDED RULE – Obligation to the Mandatory Play Rule
Franchise teams are obligated to “Mandatory Play Rule” while playing under the provisions of the lopsided rule.
3:19.2 LOPSIDED RULE – MITEY MITE DIVISON
Lopsided rules in 3:19.0 apply to the Mitey mite division with the exception of the # of touchdowns and # of points. The NJAYF mitey mite lopsided
score rule is 4 touchdowns or 24 points, whichever comes first. All other rules apply.
3:19.3 LOPSIDED RULE – INVESTIGATION OF POSSIBLE INFRACTIONS AND PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS
Anytime a Franchise team wins a game by a scoring differential in excess of 36 points, or should it be determined that over a period of time, that a
pattern has been developed whereby the same team is constantly winning by an excessive scoring differential: the Sgt-at-Arms shall
automatically be charged with an initial investigation to ascertain that all of the provision of the lopsided rule have been complied.
In any investigation, the Sgt.-at-Arms and Football Commissioner shall determine whether or not both “The Spirit of the Rule” and the letter of the
rule have been met. In a possible hearing, the Hearing Authority shall make this determination in considering the matter before them.
Franchises shall provide proof of rule compliance or those found to have violated the rule, the absolute minimum penalty to be imposed shall be
the suspension of the Head coach for not less than two weeks, inclusive of two games and the Franchise shall be fined not less than $500.00,
with no fine reduction waiver or revocation.
3:19.4 LOPSIDED RULE – NOTIFICATION REQUIRED
All of the provision of “Mandatory Play Rule Notification Required,” shall also apply to this section and franchises shall be required to give the same
type of detailed notification.
