Full Contact Paper Football Rules Overview
- In Full Contact Paper Football, at all times, there is an offense and a defense on the field. Each team is designated a color (black or white) on the game ball.
- The objective, whether offense or defense, is to have the ball stop at your opponent’s goal line, end zone or hanging off your opponent’s end of the field without falling off. The opportunity to make bigger plays for the offense and defense grows the farther the ball penetrates your opponent’s goal line, end zone or end of field.
- Each player has the ability to control “players” on the field. By means of a lever, these players can be used to defend, block, lift or flip the ball. As such, players can be used offensively or defensively to make plays (tackles, runs, catches, interceptions, etc.) when your opponent flicks the ball.
