CHANGES TO NFL SCHOOL FLAG RULES - 17th June 2006
New rule changes from the NFL, which have been adopted by EFAF for Schools take effect immediately.

and forward hand-offs are all covered in the amendments.
The changes will be published by EFAF as soon as possible.
These rules have NOT yet been accepted by the SFFA therefore all members and referees officiating
SFFA League matches must adhere to the accepted rules for SFFA play.
These rule changes will be discussed at SFFA Committee level and possibly at the next GCM.
Please note though that they may well be accepted by EFAF and therefore will apply to any
International/ National play for 2007 onwards. They may even come into force for Euroflag 2006.
The SFFA will keep all players and coaches posted on further developments.
