Rules for the UK Bubble Chamber Football Tournament

General

No studded boots may be worn; astroboots, trainers or plimsoles only.
Teams will nominally contain 5 players. However, if both sides agree, the game can be 6-a-side.
When squads of 5 play squads of six, one substitution per game is allowed - to give everyone a game. Further blood substitutes are allowed for injuries.
Transfer between squads is only allowed as a result of injury.
Rules as Association Football except
- Back-passes to goal-keepers are allowed.
- There is no offside.
- Only the goalkeeper is allowed in the D. A defender entering concedes a penalty, one yard back from the edge of the D.
- An attacker entering the circle concedes a free kick from inside the area, to be taken by the goal-keeper.
- Goal-keepers get rid of the ball (goal-kicks and after a save or pass back) by rolling it underarm (it should reach the ground within 2 yards); in addition, except for goal-kicks, they may place it on the ground and kick it.
- Throw-ins must be rolled underarm, the ball reaching the ground within 2 yards.
- At free-kicks, the opposition must drop back 3 yards (except near the goal area where the attacking side may choose to drop back).

No (excessive) bodily contact.
Men may run (jog-canter!) when attacking.
Men can score with any part of their bodies other than the front and sides of their feet.
Men can only touch the ball twice without another player touches it more than twice, a free kick is awarded to the Ladies.
