Order of Tie-Breakers

Tournament points

Head to Head record.

Strength of Schedule.

Touchdown Differential (Touchdowns For - Touchdowns Against)

Casualty Differential (Casualties For - Casualties Against)

If someone is still tied after that then the Tournament Organizer will use his best discretion to break the tie.



Painting

All teams are expected to meet the minimum painted guidelines. They must have 3 colors on them and have had some attempt at making them appear finished.



Sportsmanship

We are here for the fun of the game. Sportsmanship is not encouraged from the coaches, it is required!

Fouling 16 turns in a row and running up the score is not poor sportsmanship, but gloating and ridiculing your opponent while doing so is.



The Last Word

The tournament organizer will be the final arbitrator for any interpretation of the rules
