Minimum Play Tracker Details

All teams are required to follow the FCFL Minimum Play Tracker Rules (Copied Below), which is to make sure that every player on your team and your opponents team gets the minimum plays per game required for your individual grade.  No Exceptions.  (7th & 8th Grade = 10 plays, 6th = 12 plays, 5th, 4th & Modified = 14 plays)

All teams are required to print one of your opponents Minimum Play Tracker Team Sheets before every game and have 2 of your teams Minimum Play Tracker Team Sheets printed before every game.  All teams are required to find 2 volunteers before every game to complete and sign off on your opponents Minimum Play Tracker and to complete and sign off on your teams Minimum Play Tracker.


VI. MANDATORY PLAY RULE:
A. Team size will be dependent upon the total number of participants in that grade as specified in the FCFL Policy and Procedures document, section VII, A.
B. Each player is required to play a minimum amount of plays required for your grade (7th & 8th Grade = 10 plays, 6th = 12 plays, 5th, 4th & Modified = 14 plays) during the regular season and a minimum of Ten (10) plays during playoffs. Punts and Live PAT/FG do count as plays. Any “dead-ball” play such as dead ball extra points (since they are not live) do not count as plays.
C. At the end of the first, second and third quarters, there will be an official time out, for player monitors to agree on any players who have failed to play 12 plays. If the minimum play rule has not been satisfied by the end of the third quarter, each player who has not played 12 plays must immediately start the fourth quarter and remain in the game until he meets the minimum play requirements. Once both coaches have agreed that all players have met the minimum play requirements, neither team may submit a protest. Coaches shall not agree to waive the minimum play rule. It will be mandatory that each team has at least one play counter and that all play counters from both teams are together on the sideline (outside coaches’ box) of the home team in the first half and the away team in the second half. After each quarter the play counters will have one official play count tally.
D. Each team must use the Player Participation Form as provided by FCFL and maintained during the game by each team's designated player monitor. Head coaches are to provide the opposing coaches/player monitors a minimum play sheet that clearly identifies the following separately: two way starters, offense only starters and defensive only starters and substitutes.
E. Exceptions to the minimum play rule for disciplinary matters or injury must be identified prior to the start of the game. The coach and disciplined or injured player will both be required to notify the opposing coach in person prior to the game to discuss the minimum play waiver.
F. Plays that result in a QB spiking the ball or dropping to his knee with the sole purpose of “playing it safe” or “taking a knee” will not count as plays for minimum play requirements.
