Swamp Soccer is a fun tournament and therefore must be played in a sportsmanlike manner. The rules are similar to regular football, with the following exceptions:

• there are 3 types of teams, each having their own league: all male teams; all female teams; and mixed teams (mixed teams must have at least 2 females playing at any given time)
• each team consists of 6 players (1 goalkeeper & 5 outfield players). The number of substitutes (and substitutions made during any match) is unlimited
• the playing time for each match is 24 minutes in total (12 minutes each way)
• the playing area is slightly larger than a 5-a-side football pitch
• the offside rule does not apply
• kick-offs, throw-ins, corner kicks, free kicks and penalties are taken by using the hands to drop the ball onto a chosen foot. With the exception of penalties, all are indirect
• players in each team must wear the same colour of tops. Fancy dress is allowed

Remember to take out insurance coverage.
