|
- The playing area must
have the following measurements: Length: 31 meters (tolerance +/- 1 m)
including In-goal (3 meters each)Breadth: 25 meters (tolerance +/- 1 m).
- The teams are made up
of 5 in-field players, 7 replacements are admitted and interchangeable
at times during the match without any need to call for the referee’s
permission, although only during a standstill. In this event, players
may enter the field a single time approx. 1 meter from the enclosure in
a central position, although they may exit from whatever position. As
soon as the referee becomes aware that a team has more than 5 players on
the field, he may disallow any action that has taken place in the
meantime, unless the opponent team have gained an advantage (Ex. 1: a
try is scored and the defending team has 6 players on the field: the score
stands. Ex. 2: a try is scored and the attacking team has 6 players on
the field: the goal is disallowed).
- Only the recognized
captain may report to the referee to ask for explanations or flag
serious infringements such as the opponents having 6 players on the
field.
The try is worth one point and there are no goals after a try.
- The ball used in the
game shall be a no. 4 type.
- It is not allowed to
kick the ball.
- Line-out and
scrimmage are eliminated and play is reassumed by a free kick.
- When the player
carrying the ball is caught by the opponent, he must release the ball
within 2 seconds from the halt by passing it over or leaving it to
anybody’s disposal, unless he/she runs forward by at least 3 meters
within the 2 seconds. In case this law is not observed, his/her team
will lose possession of the ball.
- After scoring a try,
the ball will be free-kicked from the middle of the field by the team
suffering the try, quickly if the ball has been brought to the In-goal
without any forward passes; otherwise, they will have to wait until the
opponents have taken their positions.
- The distance from the
ball for penalty kicks or kick-off shall be 5 meters. If this distance
is not observed, the referee will ascribe a further 5-meter penalty to
the player.
- A match consists of
two halves of 5 minutes each with a 3 minutes’ interval.
- In case a match ends
in a draw, an additional limitless period will be played under the
sudden-death rule, i.e. the fist scoring team is the winner.
- In case some teams rank
with the same score during qualification rounds, the team with the
highest number of tries will qualify (regardless of their type); in case
parity should persist, the type of tries will count; if again parity
persists, the youngest team (obtained by summing up the players’ years
of birth and then dividing them by 12) will win.
- The players shall
wear tear-resisting jerseys and NOT T-SHIRTS with the players’ numbers
or names on the back; the jerseys will be homologated at the beginning
of the Championship by a Technical Commission formed by the Championship
Manager and/or L.I.B.R. representative and a referee. The homologation
process will be repeated for each Championship even though the jerseys
have been previously deemed appropriate.
