Article 1: The 80-yard section is to be divided and marked into 10-yard segments with the centerline marked as the 40-yard line.  The other marked lines will go in each direction from the 40 and be marked in ten yard increments designated as the 30, 20, 10, and Goal.  These 10-yard markings may be further sub-divided into halves, so that the field can be divided into a grid of lines 5 yards apart.

Article 2:  Further, the entire field will be outlined with a white line that will be at least 3 inches in width. The lines will be considered to be outside the field of play.  The goal line, and the end zones may be marked in a color other than white.

Article 3: There will also be hash marks on the 10-yard and 5-yard stripes.  These marks will be approximately one yard in length and will be placed 15 yards from each sideline.  No hash marks are to be placed on the goal or end lines.

Section 2 - PLAYER BOXES

Article 1:  An area outside the field of play that extends between the two 20-yard lines is designated as the team box.  All players, coaches, and support people - except the sixteen players participating in the game on the field of play - must stay in their respective boxes.  One team on one sideline and the other team across the field on the other sideline.  Failure to stay within the designated boxes after a warning by the referee will result in a five (5) yard penalty for illegal participation. 

Section 3 - FIELD CONDITIONS

Article 1:  Games will be played in all weather except when officials deem playing conditions to be unsafe.
