We do tackle football too! Please don't try and block people into punts, it will make me very sad.

Easy foul, funky enforcement!

Interesting one from the @bafaflag National semifinal between @glasgowhornets and @cardiffhurricanes. Because the first defender pulls the flag before the collision, that makes it a dead ball foul. Instead of going 10 yards back from the previous spot, we go 10 back from the end of the run instead.

(Yes, in slow motion, it was a lot closer than 2 yards out when the flag pull happened 😳)

10 athletes moving at high speed in a small space means collisions do happen that aren't necessarily fouls. Here's one from the @bafaflag national semifinal between @glasgowhornets and @cardiffhurricanes (AKA the @thewaywehncit_flag_football bowl between @disco.eightfive and @bourke20)

(Bonus footage of Cammy getting nailed by the ball after the play)

Question: When is a jump not JUMPING?

Answer: When the defender isn't trying to pull the flags!

Really interesting play from the @bafaflag Premiership Final between @coventryphoenixflag and @bordercitycenturions showing the intricacies of the rule!

@copenhagen_bowl clinic highlights!

In a perfect world, the officials get everything right all the time. We don't live in a perfect world!

@zetaref offers his thoughts on why no calls (where we don't flag something that turns out to be a foul) are better than incorrect calls, where we have a flag down when there wasn't actually a foul.

If in doubt, play the percentages and keep your flag in your pocket!

What do you think?
