Also, what do you think about changing the thread name to "Community Football Discussion Thread", as that is what it had effectively become?
How about 'development thread' for a while, then 'discussion' when we think we're done. Personally, I would like to iron out the detail which is missing from the rules, or from the general understanding of game play. I agree with TBI & Carmadin that we've got ourselves a game of Community Football, but are we finished?

I do have a few questions, however.
Offside - Does it exist, can a player be offside? Under what circumstances?
Time - when does each period stop? Some suggestions:
Dead on 15 minutes
When more than 15 minutes have elapsed and the ball next goes out of play
After 15 minutes, plus any time added on to compensate for stoppages
Substitutes - assuming a team is allowed to use five substitutions, do five players sit on the bench, or more?
Players' equipment should probably be defined (each player must wear X).
Fouls - should all fouls give a ground ball? What if a player is two yards from goal and is rugby-tackled by an opponent? A ground ball would give the offending team an advantage.
Those are things I think need to be clarified, however, I also have a few rule ideas:
A team which has fewer than six (five?) players on the field due to either warnings or ejection forfeits the game.
Dissent towards a match official is a foul.
Climbing on the goalposts (to get extra height) is a foul.
Is 5 meters the right height for the crossbar? Rugby crossbars are 3 meters.

No player may score unless
A. An opposing player is between them and the target goal at the time they recieved the ball
B. A does not apply, but the player recived the ball in the inner ring
or
C. A player traveled from the outer ring, through the inner ring, and back into the outer ring on the oppisite side, all the time handling the ball themselves, and not relinquishing possesion

^^^ This. Fix what needs to be fixed, ratify what needs to be ratified, and then have a full-blown tournament. It doesn't matter if it is ever a "demonstration sport" or part of a big multi-sport festival. Let's not dissipate the momentum we've built, and at all costs let us avoid the perfect becoming the enemy of the good.

Positions are still in flux given a sport in its infancy. The two rosters already posted for the ClearCola Classic exhibit different thoughts, and perusing the original Community Football Convocation thread will reveal several other ideas. Feel free to invent your own scheme. The only rules reference to positions involves roles on a center circle start or restart.

Triimoria wrote:Another quick question. I noticed several rosters including players as "lifters" what are they? Thanks.
The centre circle is used for starting play or restarting after interruptions. In a neutral start, one official blows a starting whistle blast and a second throws the ball up in the centre of the pitch. As the whistle blows two lifters for each side physically lift a third player, the centre, to compete for the ball.

I play at a local rugby club, and we have enough to form two teams (working off TBIs roster) and I was tossing up the idea of trying to play a game.
