For players
A flag football league with a running clock that has you home by nine.
Format and half length are on the league page, so you know what you are committing your autumn to before you commit it.
Finding one
5v5, 7v7 and 8v8 ask for different squads.
The number on the field changes how much running you do, how big a roster you need and how long a night takes. It is a real field on every league here, so each league states its format up front rather than burying it in a description.
Getting in
Squads enter together. Free agents get placed.
A captain enters the squad and either covers the whole entry or has each player settle their part. On your own, you list yourself as available — and in coed leagues the sides still short of their minimum are the ones looking hardest.

What the flag football you enter has already settled.
Every one of these is decided by the organizer before entries open rather than argued about in week three, and whatever they have settled is on the event page under “What is set” — so you read the rules before you enter, not at the field on the first night.

Officials are the organizer's. Nothing here schedules a referee, pays one, or encodes the no-run zone, the rushing distance or the blitz rules — those live in the league's own rules document and are settled on the field.
Common Questions
- Does 8v8 work differently from 5v5 here?
- Only in that it is its own league with its own half length, roster limits and coed minimum. Format is a field rather than a template, so a club running both keeps two real leagues rather than one with a note attached.
- Is there a running clock?
- That is the league's choice and it is stated on the page. It makes a genuine difference to how long a night takes, which is why it is set once at the top of the season rather than decided per game.
- Do I need an account to look around?
- No. Browsing is open to anyone — leagues, clubs, tournaments and races are all readable without signing in. You only need an account to register for something, because a registration has to belong to somebody.
- How does paying work?
- Registering and paying are one step, by card. Where the event asks for a waiver you sign it in the same checkout rather than printing it and carrying it to the field. The money goes to the organizer running the event rather than sitting with us until the season ends.
- What if I do not have a team?
- Races, tournaments and open days take you exactly as you are — one entry, one person. A league season is entered by a team, so instead of registering alone you list yourself as available to play and the teams that are a body short come and find you. Nothing is paid until one of them takes you on.
- What happens if it is already full?
- For a race, a tournament or an open day, a waitlist place confirms itself the moment somebody drops out. A league season queues by team instead, and the side that comes off the queue gets a window to settle the entry before the spot moves on. Where the field is capped by permit, entry may run as a draw with a claim window instead.
- Something went wrong with my registration. Who do I ask?
- The organizer first. They run the event, they can see your registration and they are the one who can change or refund it. If you cannot reach them, we will help — but they are faster, because it is their event.
- What do I keep afterwards?
- One profile carrying every registration, result and standing, across every sport you play here. A season of kickball and a spring half marathon sit in the same place rather than across two organizers and a timing company.
