Touch Rugby was formerly known as Touch Football. It is a variation of rugby union played on grass. It is played for men, women and mixed teams. A team's aim is to score a try by grounding the ball behind the try-line.
Touch rugby is played on two H-shaped goalsposts. Each team can have no more than six players at any one time. The number of players allowed in each team is adjustable by substituting players at anytime. Each team must have at least one woman player. The field of play is bounded by sidelines and the Touchdown Zone lines. It is also marked at both ends.
Six touches are allowed for the player who is in possession of the ball before the team can take possession. The player may also be punished for violating touch rules. There are many reasons that penalties may be applied. Additionally, pass and touch penalties are common.
Touch refers to a touch on the ball carrier, or another part of the player's bodies. It can also touch clothing. It can also be a touch on clothing.
Roll ball must be performed by the ball carrier at the contact point. A roll ball is a play that a player makes after the ball has been touched. This is the most common way to return the ball into play after a possession change.
If a player from the defending team touches an attacking player, he should retire behind the try line to wait for the opposite player. A touch from an opponent is considered to be forceful. To indicate that he has done the touch, a player shouting "touch" should be heard. The ball must be stepped over by the player. If the player is forced to retreat, the referee can award a penalty. He can also be sent off for making a forceful contact with an opponent.
After a touch, the opposing player has a five-metre limit to retreat to. If they touch the ball, or play it away from the five metre line, players from the opposing team have to leave their try lines. In addition, a player may not pass the ball into the opposing team's possession. If the ball is passed into the opposing team's possession, a penalty is awarded.
The half-point mark is the starting point for the team that scored a try. The opposing team then has six opportunities to score a touchdown. One point is awarded to mixed leagues. In men's leagues, a tap can result in a team being penalized.
The touch count restarts at the mark where the ball went to the ground. The defending side must then withdraw five meters from the mark, and move behind the tryline.
