I would make it a 10 team pool play tournament. Pool A would have 5 teams and Pool B would have 5 teams. Each team would play every team in their pool and then you could have crossover games for 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th place. The team with the best record in Pool A would play the team with the best record in Pool B for 1st place, and so on. That way you could guarantee that all teams get 5 games. That is how we do it, except we only have 8 teams.

We do 25 minute games, running clock, except when you get under 2 minutes...I am sure there are rules you could look up and tweak them as you need to, I think the Texas 7 on 7 banner that is on this site would be a pretty good place to look at....

Most of the seven on sevens around here are based on scoring. Five to fifteen yards is a point 15-20 yards is 2 points etc. And the defense gets points as well. Have a clock for the QB usually 4 seconds.
Each team gets 10 downs on offense and defense. after that each team gets 4 downs from the 10 yard line and in. Only a TD in the last round counts.

I have decided on going 20 minute games, no stopping the clock.(except injury)
start at the 40 yard line and go in (co i can have 2 games going at once)
first down after crossing the 20.
For anyone who has done one of these in the past, do you have any tips for making it all run smoothly. WHat do you have teams do inbetween games? Do you provide lunch for the kids?

We usually have a concession stand, only 2 teams sit out per round of games, we also use our baseball outfield so 8 teams are playing at once...We only feed the kids when it's us and a couple of teams, all teams bring something and we eat afterwards...
