CHEATING/GLITCHES

Possible Glitches and Cheating Methods:

-Procedure After a Glitch Penalty: In the event that a tournament
administrator determines a penalty was caused by an unauthorized glitch, one or more of the following actions will be taken to return the game to a fair state, depending on the result of the play:
- If the ball wasn’t advanced by the offense OR the result of the
the play was in favor of the defense (turnover, sack, defensive TD),
then the offense will be forced to decline the penalty (in the end, the penalty for a glitch is a loss of a down).
- If the ball was advanced by the offense, then the offense will
be forced to take penalties, until they are equal or behind the
line of scrimmage at the start of the play where they
intentionally glitched (in the end, the penalty for a glitch, is a
loss of a down).
