TackleBar Game Recommendations

Defense:

  • Downing the Ball Carrier:
    • No tackling or throwing players to the ground.
    • No helmet initiated contact.
    • Players may never leave their feet to launch or dive into another player.
  • Defenders should track and engage with proper form tackling technique while wrapping the ball carrier and ripping a bar from the harness.
  • It is not a penalty if the ball carrier inadvertently goes to the ground during this action. However, contact that deliberately takes the ball carrier to the ground with force may be penalized.

Offense:

  • No weight restriction for RB/QB.
  • No helmet-initiated contact.
  • Players may never leave their feet to launch or dive into another player.
  • No blocking below the waist.
  • If a TackleBar or a harness falls off, the ball carrier is down at the spot.

Special Teams:

  • No Kick-offs: Ball is placed on 30-yard line.
  • Punts: No rush, ball places where caught or where the ball comes to rest.

Game Notes:

  • The TackleBar harness must be worn snug. Ensure straps are adequately tightened.
  • Excessive contact penalties (personal foul) can be called for failure to control contact and comply with these safe contact rules.
