Rules
SUPERTOUCH RULES ©
SuperTouch is an advanced and more enjoyable form of touch football. Don’t just hand the ball to the opposition after 6 touches. Our kicking rules create more opportunities to score and opens up the game. More options = more fun.
Kicking Rules
1. Restarts must be a drop kick from the ½ way line, after a try is scored (scorers kick), as well as the start of the game and half time. The ball must go a minimum of 10m and above head height, as determined by the Referree.
2. The team kicking off cannot contest or touch the ball until either 1. It has landed and gone 10m or 2. The opposition has touched it in the air first.
3. If the kick-off goes over the dead-ball line on the full, a penalty to the defending team will be given back at the ½ way line.
4. If the kick-off lands first and then rolls across the dead ball line or touch in goal lines whether touched or not a line drop out occurs.
5. All line dropouts must go 10m but with no height restrictions.
6. If a kick in general play goes over the dead ball line, the defending team will restart play 5m outside their try line. If any kick goes over the sideline on the full a penalty will be given from where the ball was kicked.
7. The touch-in-goal lines are considered the same as the dead ball line for all rules.
8. If a defending player catches the ball “on the full” inside their ingoal area (whether stationary or moving) then he/she can claim a "Mark" and play the ball 5m outside their try line. You can also opt to run the ball after catching it on the full but if touched ingoal while attempting to run it out, a line dropout will result.
9. Kicks in General play can be made any time after the 4th touch and at any height, but you cannot kick the ball a 2nd time until after you have regained possession.
10. If a player is touched while kicking the ball a penalty will result. If they are touched before the ball leaves their foot/leg, same as a "touch-pass" penalty. This rule applies even if they are touched after the ball has left their hand but not left their foot, as they are considered to be still in possession/control of the ball.
11. If a defender is touched in goal a line drop out occurs from the centre of the try line and all defenders must be behind the line.
12. If a line dropout goes over the opposition dead ball line then another line dropout has to be taken by the opposition.
13. You cannot kick or dive on a ball that is already on the ground. You can trap it with any part of the body except the arms. The Ref will determine if a trap was in fact a kick.
14. If an attacking player places their hand on the ball over the tryline but before the deadball line, and they are on their feet at the time, a try will be awarded (even if a defender is touching them at the same time).
15. If the attacking team kicks the ball over the deadball line in general play the defending team will receive a "7-touch set" (starting 5m out from their try line)
16. Maximum of 7 players on the field at one time (6 for mens div 1). In mixed there is a maximum of 4 males allowed on the field at a time.
17. In Mixed divisions a female try is worth 2 points, a male try is worth 1 point. Once the ball has crossed the tryline any pass to a girl at that stage is only worth 1 pt. Boys 12 and under can play as a girl and get 2 pt tries. His team must inform the ref and opposing captain before start of play if they have any U/12 boys and show dob evidence if necesary.
18. There is no marker and the defensive team must be back 7m from the ruck.
19. The defensive line can move forward only after the dummy half has touched the ball.
20. Dummy half can run the ball but cannot score or be touched (even after he/she kicks it) until another player (from either team) touches it and then you are no longer considered the dummy half.
21. You will be penalized if you play the ball more than one step/metre outside the mark. "The Mark" is determined solely by the referee not the defender or attacker.
22. Any dropped ball results in a turnover whether forward or backwards
23. A dropped ball by a defender in the in-goal area is "play on" (advantage) until it is forced down or dead by a defender (Advantage Rule to attacking team who may still score off a dropped/fumbled ball).
24. A penalty will be given if a player kicks or dives on the ball that is already on the ground. Players can kick or dive to score a try only when in possession of the ball.
25. You must be on your feet when you gain possession of the ball.
26. If touched in possession over your own try line, a line drop out will result. You must have both feet in front of the try line or you are deemed caught in goal.
27. If you catch a ball on the full you must have both feet inside the field of play or you will be considered to have forced it out. So catching the ball with one foot over the touch line or dead ball line means you have taken it out.
28. MERCY RULE – if a team gets to a lead of 6pts they MUST drop a GUY off the field regardless of how many players they started with. The player that comes off can still sub with other male players but the team can’t go back to their original contingent until the score gets back to a 5 try lead.
29. Obstruction in-goal. When the ball is on the ground in the in-goal area (or anywhere else on the field) you cannot interfere with or obstruct an opposing player from getting to the ball. A defender may play at the ball to pick it up, ground it or push it dead, but if you are simply putting your body between the attacker and the ball to shadow it over the deadball line, you may be penalised for obstruction, only IF the Referee believes you prevented an opposing player from getting to the ball. The referee will be the sole judge of whether a defender is playing at the ball or obstructing the opposition
30. Have fun and show respect for the referees and other players.
