U12 - 8/1/1997-7/31/1999
U14 - 8/1/1995-7/31/1997

Sign-up online. 

Contestants will be randomly chosen from the sign-ups, so that there are 3-4 contestants per Power game, per age group (boys & girls will compete separately). Contestants will receive free entry into the game.  Part of the competition will be done prior to the start of the game, with the competition completing at half time, and the winners announced during the 2nd half.

Winners will be determined based on total score after all three events. Single game winners will then compete for the Championship at the final Power home game on Sunday July 19th.  

Official Rules:

Eligibility

   1. The competition is open to all boys and girls ages 8 -13. Boys and girls compete separately. The three age classifications are based upon the child's age as of August 1st of the current year.
   2. There is no charge to participate in the Power PUNT, PASS & KICK program.
   3. Participants must register online, and will be chosen randomly.
   4. Participants must be present at the scheduled starting time in
order to compete. Failure to do so may result in ineligibility.

Scoring/Competing

   1. Each participant is allowed one punt, one kick and 30 seconds to pass.
   2. Scores are based on both distance and accuracy. For example, if a participant kicks the ball 100 feet, but the ball lands 30 feet to the right of the measuring tape, the final score is calculated by deducting 30 from 100, for a final score of 70. Scores are based on exact feet and inches (partial inches are rounded to nearest inch). No participant receives a negative score, but they may receive a score of zero.
   3. A participant's final score is their cumulative total for the three individual events. For example, if the participant scores 40 for punting, 10 for passing and 22 for kicking, the participant's final score would be 72.
   4. If a participant goes over the line prior to or before releasing or making contact with the ball on the punt, they are penalized five feet. Passes are only counted if the ball was struck from behind the line.
   5. Scores are determined from where a participant's punt/kick first makes contact with the ground. Bounces or rolls do not add to the score.
   6. If a participant tries to punt or kick and misses the ball completely, it does not count as an attempt, and another attempt is allowed.

Advancement

   1. The top finisher in each of the boys' and girls' divisions from the three age brackets will advance to the Finals on July 19th.  The top finisher is the participant who has the highest final score for that round.

   2. If the top finisher is not available, the 2nd place finisher will move to the finals.

Tie Breakers

   1. If a tie exists for first, second or third place, the winner will be determined based on the individual score in the pass competition.  If a tie still exists, then the kick individual score. If still a tie, the winner will be determined by a coin toss.
