2007 Punt, Pass and Kick Rules

Eligibility

The competition is open to all boys and girls ages 5-15. Boys and girls compete separately. The four age classifications are based upon the child's age as of December 31 of the current year.

There is no charge to participate in the NFL Pepsi PUNT, PASS & KICK program.

All participants must show proof of age at all levels of competition. Failure to provide a birth certificate or religious document (baptismal record) will result in that participant being ineligible to compete.

Participants may register and compete in only one (1) Local Competition. Competing in more than one Local will result in the automatic disqualification of that participant.

Scoring/Competing

Each participant will be allowed one punt, one pass, and one placekick as part of his/her competition.

Scores are based on both distance and accuracy. Example: If a participant passes the ball 100 feet, but the ball lands 30 feet to the right of the measuring tape, the final score would be 100-30 = 70. Scores will be based on exact feet and inches (no partial inchesround to nearest inch). No participant will receive a negative score; instead their score will be "0."
A participant's final score is his/her cumulative total for the three individual events. Example: If participant scores (40) for punting, (60) for passing, and (22) for kicking, the participant's final score is 122.

If a participant goes over the line prior to or before releasing or making contact with the ball, he/she will be penalized five (5) feet. Exception: in kicking, a participant may go over the line without penalty provided the tee is placed on or behind the line.

There is no violation if the kicking tee is kicked with the football during the kicking event.

Scores will be determined from where a participant's punt/pass/kick first makes contact with the ground. Bounces or rolls do not add to the score.

If a participant tries to punt, pass, or kick and misses the ball completely, it DOES NOT count as an attempt and another attempt is allowed.

Regulations

No football shoes/cleats/turf shoes are allowed. Only gym shoes (soft sole) will be permitted. No bare feet allowed. Failure to wear gym shoes will result in the disqualification of the participant.

The hosting association needed will provide all equipment, other than shoes. Participants may not utilize their own equipment (tees or footballs).

The 5, 6 and 7 year olds will use the K-2 or equal football. The 8-9 and 10-11 year olds use a TDJ (junior size) football and 12-13 and 14-15 year olds use a TDY (intermediate size) football.

Participants will be divided up into the following groups:
