Hellraisers Rules
In

code of conduct, players should also
familiar with the
NGFFL (National Gay Flag Football
League) rules & bylaws, which can be
downloaded or viewed as in portable
document format (pdf). Be aware the
official rules are lengthy, and cover
such details as equipment, plays,
penalties, and an additional code of
conduct. Being that the PHOENIX
HELLRAISERS organization is a part
of the NGFFL, you will be governed by
these rules in addition to any imposed
by our organization, most of which are
for clarification purposes, safety, and
exist to promote the league values of
self-respect, awareness, and
inclusiveness. If you have any
questions about the rules or
regulations, please
contact us.
