==== READ ME =====
Hello, these are all the new rules placed into the rulebook which are NOW official for Week 5 of Season 4 and beyond until amendments are made.
I have made it EASIER for everyone including Refs to make flags based on actions in game which is located in the rulebook as ==[ALL GAME PENALTIES]== right under the {[ GAME RULES ]} Section! Indicating the exact punishment and whether it be dead or free play.
=====NEW RULES DOWN BELOW=====
[HARASSING THE REFEREES] If a team/player insults a referee or group of referees or shows rude behavior to the referee to the point where it disturbs the referee and does not allow him to work, then the team will be given official warnings for each unsportsmanlike remark made to the referees, after 2 warnings it will result in -5 flag. If the same person repeats the offense several times, they can be ejected. No matter how bad or "biased" the referee is, you cannot disrespect the ones who are officiating your game. You must play it out and then file a complaint to the Referee Department Manager or the Commissioner.
[BANNING REFEREES FROM THE GAME] If a team or Head Coach purposely bans an OFFICIAL league referee that is in the Department from a game because of his performance, because he is disliked, or any other reason then the game can result in an automatic forfeit. Teams are to respect and allow the Referees to do their job personal conflicts aside. If there are issues at all that occur, you can file a complaint to the Referee Department Manager or the Commissioner.
[WHAT REFEREES ARE ALLOWED?] Only Referees from the Official Referee Department may referee. If there is no one available from the department, game must be postponed.
[PLAYER HAT BANS] OFFICIALLY BANNED HATS: - Eggs - Starry Antlers - Picture Frames - Insertable Helmets/Visors All Referees reserve the right to ask you to take off any hat deemed unfair, too big, or interruptive to the game. All Referees also reserve the right to ask you to get into uniform if you are not in it.
[REDOING GAMES] - Placed in League Rules If you have been cheated out of your game because of horrible actions caused by the other team or even horrible actions caused by the referee(s), you may appeal to the Commissioner for a redo of quarter or game (depending on how serious) as long as you have proof or evidence of this. If accepted, a redo of game or quarer will be scheduled. (Note: These occurences are very rare and will not happen for anything).
[UPDATE] Kickoff team must line up at 30 yardline or below. (This was added to the rulebook)
[UPDATE] Field goal movement rules apply to punts as well. (This was added to the rulebook)
[INTENTIONAL GROUNDING] The quarterback will be flagged if he intentionally throws the football out of bounds (Endzone included) AND if the ball is not thrown somewhat or roughly near the line of scrimmage or beyond it, or near a receiver then it will flagged as intentional grounding. Cannot intentionally ground the ball near centers or players not going out to receive the ball either. Intentional grounding results in a loss of down and 5 yard penalty.
[QUARTERBACK/KICKER SETUP] The quarterback or kicker must line up for the snap or kick (whether it be punt or field goal) about and between 4-10 yards from the Line of Scrimmage. Anymore or less once the ball is snapped, will result in a 5 yard penalty.
[INTERCEPTIONS ON EXTRA POINT] If you throw an interception or get "swatted" during a field goal or 2 point conversion, the defense has the opportunity to run it back to the opposite touchdown for 2 points.
[LATERALS ON KICKOFF] Pass laterals on kickoff return is now forbidden, handing off the ball during kickoff return is still allowed. Doing a lateral will result in a 5 yard penalty from the spot where the ball carrier initially threw the ball. |

First of all this is week 5 of season 5**
The interception rule for extra points is bad, whoever suggested it clearly doesn't know the sport completely. PATs are a reward for the team that scored, not an opportunity for the other team to gain points.
Please ban hats with effects such as Telamon's chicken hat (chicken noises), spring fairy (sparkly), and fiery mohawk (fire) |

| It adds a little spice to the games. I doubt it'll happen very often anyway.. basically you would have to do a 90+ yard pick 6. |

| Yeah the PAT rule should be this "If kicking FG and it gets blocked, it's ruled dead/no good, but if the Team going for the extra point goes for a 2 and it gets swatted or an interception occurs, the Defense has a chance to return it" |
