Altering flags (shortening, greasing, securing, etc. is a serious offense in Flag Football and cannot be condoned in any way. If flags become faulty through use, they should be replaced at once.
Page 7, Article 4: Talks about this kind of thing. "Wrapping, tying, or in any way securing the flags to the uniform or belt, other than prescribed by rule, or intentionaly removing a flag during play, is illegal: Penalty: 10 yards AND POSSIBLE DISQUALIFICATION." Page 41. Section 2, Unfair Acts, Article 1. "....if a play is interfered with by an obviously unfair or unsportsmanlike act not specifically covered by the rules:....the Referee may enforce any penalty he considers equitable..." (which could be Unsportsmanlike Conduct & 15 yards and/or disqualification). Furthermore, each league may determine, based upon circumstances or existing policy, whether or not additional actions (suspensions / fines / etc.) are warrented. - RCJ |

what about flags that are given to our team that are faulty. last state tourney our teams flags were just falling out left and right on there own, and each time we were losing yards and a down. how can this be avoided when those were the only flags we could use. |

every team used the flags provided by the state tourney. other teams dealt with and gained yardage. move on. |
