The GameFundamentally based on the Canadian Football League, our game has streamlined the sport by creating a non-contact, offensive based game. Utilizing a 3 down / 10 yard gain format with 6 point touchdowns and 5 yard / 1 point and 10 yard / 2 point conversion attempts replacing extra point kicks, the spirit of our professional league remains intact. Official CFL Rules are enforced throughout the games, which are played with 7 players a side. Touch Football is essentially a non-contact game, with blocking and hitting removed, allowing for a 6 receiver 1 (or more) quarterback based offence, and a 6 defensive back, 1 designated rusher defense. The Regular Season Game is played in 15 minute Quarters, 1 minute call to 5 plays at the end of each half. with a 5 minute half-time.
