EXTENDED RULES – DEVELOPING THE GAME
JagTag is designed to be flexible so there are a number of ways in
which you can change the rules to suit your own preferences or to
suit games with either smaller or larger numbers of people:
• Line of Scrimmage: Basic JagTag rules suggest defensive
players are not allowed to step over the line of scrimmage
(ie. to get close to the quarterback etc) and equally that the
Quarterback cannot step over the line of scrimmage. For
larger games, you can open up the field so that defensive
players can cross the line of scrimmage and the Quarterback
can also cross over once play starts.
• Quarterbacks:
- T
o keep the game flowing, you may decide to give the QB
a time limit in which to throw the ball (ie. within 10 seconds
of shouting “hut”).
