BASIC RULES OF TOUCH RUGBY
-
Two hand touch anywhere on the body counts as one phase.
-
Each offense will get 6 phases total before the ball turns over.
-
After each touch or phase, the defensive team must retreat 5 meters from the mark before advancing forward. Violation of not retreating 5 m will result in an award of 6 new phases to the offense.
-
Offensive players that are touched must retreat to the point of being touched (the mark), and step over the ball.
-
Players who do not retreat to the mark will be penalized and the ball will turn over to the defense. Any mishandled ball or kicking is a turnover.
-
All restarts (ball goes into touch, forward pass, etc.) will occur via one offensive person stepping over the ball and mark, and a second offensive person acting as scrum half.
