The basic rules of the game are similar to those of regular football, but instead of tackling players to the ground, the defensive team must remove a flag or flag belt from the ball carrier; this is referred to as "deflagging" to end a down. In most organized play, players wear a belt. Flag football was designed in an effort to minimize injuries. However, contact leagues have emerged, where offensive and defensive players can block in certain zones or downfield, adding to the many styles now associated with the game. Love the game, but not necessarily getting knee deep in the action? FlagMag.com is always looking for referees for the BMFFL and beyond. Simply e-mail staff@flagmag.com for more information. FlagMag.com was created in 1998 as an interactive website for flag football players in the USA and around the world. The President/Owner of FlagMag.com recognized the potential in new media resources and said, "It was a perfect prospect for flag football players around the globe to have their own source of information just like any other sport." It was designed as a means for flag football players and enthusiasts to obtain up-to-date information on tournaments, events and leagues both here in the USA as well as internationally. The original idea of the site was to support a quarterly magazine that was sent out to players in the USA as well as affiliates in Canada, Mexico, South America and Europe, however as the business evolved printing of the magazine has gone on hiatus. The interactive nature of the website allows players to communicate via the message board, relive achievements through event stories and photos, and quickly obtain flag football-related information. FlagMag.com also serves as an online retailer of flag football products such as Sonic Boom Flags, Velcro flags, ball markers, rule books, play books, cones, and official FlagMag.com athletic apparel. Flag Football Magazine can be found online at www.flagmag.com. All trademarks and service marks are the property of the respective parties.
