▪ After catching a rebound from the chair, the defending team has a choice
to make.
▪ Option #1: Take a knee immediately after interception for 3 pts.
▪ Option #2: Run to opposite goal until touched by 2 hands by opponent.
At the spot of contact, you can take your regular throw from the new spot. If you miss, no
points are awarded, and the throw goes back to other team. If you score, you will still be
able to go for an extra point.
▪ No blocking is allowed, and only one player on the defending team may
attempt to “down” the returning player.
▪ Teams must allow for the ball to hit the chair first before going for an
interception.

▪ Subtract the winning score by the losing score to determine the paces.
(Example: 54-34 = 20) (20 paces away from your goal).
▪ With back against your goal take the 20 paces away from goal and turn
around to face your opponent’s goal.
▪ If any part of the chair or goal post is hit on the fly from the Hail Mary pass,
the game is tied up.
▪ If a touchdown is thrown from the Hail Mary pass you win. A total miss will
result in a loss.
