January 27, 2010

1) Equipment-
In accordance with FIFA and other adult soccer leagues, no jewelry of any kind will be allowed for player safety. The sole exception is smooth wedding bands with no stones.

2) Line Judge Fines-
In order to give all teams the best playing experience, the team line judges are required to show up on time and actively be a part of the game. Coming late in the first half or not participating in the game will result in a $10 team fine. The "no show" fine remains at $25, which includes coming at halftime or later.

3) Goalie Punts-
Are now permitted to go past midfield.
