Play

How exactly do you play flag football? like what are the rules? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.249.85.9 (talk • contribs) 18:16, Apr 18, 2006 (UTC)

Exactly like regular football, except instead of tackling someone, you remove one of their flags. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.204.155.222 (talk • contribs) 23:57, Oct 18, 2005 (UTC)

Some other variations to the rules also due to the size of the teams and fields. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.82.27.131 (talk • contribs) 21:04, Sept 13, 2006 (UTC)

65.82.27.131, Please don't modify others' comments, add your own. --Bdoserror 22:28, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite

I rewrote this page substantially. At somepoint, the "Basics of the Game" section, which seemed like a useful introduction, had been removed; I put it back. I expanded a bit on "Variations". I also deleted entirely the section on the Worcester (Mass) league as being too regional and not generally useful or noteable. Bikeable 04:16, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Notability for external links

I think the external links section wil get bloated with leagues unless kept to WP:NOTABLE leagues. For now, I would take that to mean national level only, especially as North America probably has hundreds. --Bdoserror 03:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Non-notable competition

I removed the following:

One highly competitive flag-football league is the ONCF, based in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. In the summer of 2006 the ! handily won the championship trophy against the undefeated Rage. The ! players received several league awards including League Offensive MVP (Andrew Carnell), and Playoff MVP (Sergio Novelo). Quarterback Chris Greer was selected as the championship MVP.

If someone can provide a citation to back it up, and to show noteworthiness, then it can be replaced. --Bdoserror 03:12, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Triangle Area Flag Football League

I have removed the following link:

• Triangle Area Flag Football League

As this league doesn't appear particularly notable. Please don't add it back until it's notability is established. --Bdoserror 21:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

And also see what Misplaced Pages is not. --Bdoserror 03:19, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

First downs

Not all leuges follow preset first downs, some leuges are more simmulier to nfl play in wich you must gain a sertain amount of yards to get a firs down -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.31.103.10 (talk • contribs) 2007-07-27T01:55:11 (UTC)

Hall of Fame

After initially reformatting the entry about the Hall of Fame, I searched and could not find any reference to the "National Flag Football Council" anywhere online, so I have removed the following:

A Hall-of-Fame for those leagues is being pondered by officials. The National Flag Football Council has submitted James Scorden of Ca., Dashawn Wright of Fl., Arnold Geoffrey of Indiana, and Luis "Luigi" Orengo of New York for consideration.

Question on notability

xflagfootball is on the west coast, including hawaii. It is not a national league but it is in multiple states and will soon expand to Mexico, thus it would be an international league.

X Flag Football —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.247.37.61 (talk) 04:06, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

X does have the busiest message board of any league. Does that qualify as notability? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.247.37.61 (talk) 03:09, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Forums traffic is not a criteria for Notability. See the link for what is. -- Bdoserror (talk) 07:03, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

An active message board is notable, and the most active messageboard seems like a reason to include it in the list.
