What are the rules most of you guys do at your 7 on 7 camps?

Keep it as real as possible, especially the scoring. Only award points for TD's and extra points. Some 7 on 7's award points every play, depending on how much yardage is gained, and that is not very realistic.

We've done it both ways depending on the situation. For an in camp activity I think the regular scoring is best as it keeps things simple and flowing. For tournaments you can be a bit more flexible depending on your field(s) and supervisory personnel. Just make sure your "rules" are clear to everyone - players, coaches, and refs - to help avoid fist fights (disagreements) during competition.

I think the "general" rules are
6pts for TD
1pt on try after from a certain spot (5 maybe)
2pts on try from farther back
Then 3 pts for an interception.
Some places try to give points for stops.. but isnt that the same in the grand scheme of things?? if you do stop them, you get 3? you dont.. they get 6?? Wouldnt them not getting the 6 work?

We have the following rules;
1. Don't keep score
2. Go from the 40 into the end zone on both sides of the field
3. Only have 7 on 7's at home
4. Only invite teams whose coaches that I like
5. Thursday nights under the lights
6. 10 plays (3 from each hash, 4 in middle)
7. As many plays as you can get in 50 minutes
We let the coaches coach, players play , and everyone gets some work done

CI--
LOVE it... I would add considering scripting down and distance situations as well if it suits you. For example, even if the other team is a 4 wide spread team..I might be in an 8 man front concept on 1st down. Also, on 1st and 10, 2nd/3rd and short, we are more likely to see a PAP.

We use a couple of formats.
We have a one day round robin where we invite teams in (coaches who have perspective) and charge $100 per team - It's a nice fundraiser but it's not over the top.
We also invite many of those same teams in (no charge) on Tuesday mornings throughout the summer.
We keep scoring simple and have no problem stopping the action to help kids get their schemes or plays down correctly.
Works for us.

Ours is very similar. We do a 4 team round robin (two play on the N side, 2 on the S). We have one here and one 60 mi. away (60 miles is CLOSE here). Same 4 teams at each location. We usually do some PATs in the last 5-10 min. 2 games per night.
RE: Keeping score, we don't, but I think the kids do. I have a hard enough time keeping track of how many plays we have left.

www.state7on7.com details the rules by which we play official tournaments here in Texas. Various leagues occur throughout the state and the rules may be slightly tweaked to fit accordingly. However, we use these rules and format for the state tournament and qualifying tournaments (team must place 1st or 2nd in a qualifier to earn trip to state tournament)

one suggestion I have if you are hosting a tourny is to hire someone to ref it. just having one ref on the field to me makes a huge difference in keeping things under control, the last thing anyone wants is to get someone hurt during these things.
