The league follows standard American football rules, with two exceptions. Field goals of over 50 yards are awarded four points instead of three, as in NFL Europe. The league also offers a three-point conversion from ten yards, just as the XFL did in its playoffs. These rule changes are intended to help teams that fall behind in a game to catch up more quickly. The league will not use instant replay (the league has no television contract, making instant replay impossible). The league also will use a slightly shorter play clock.

| - The league follows standard American football rules, with two exceptions. Field goals of over 50 yards are awarded four points instead of three, as in NFL Europe. The league also offers a three-point conversion from ten yards, just as the XFL did in its playoffs. These rule changes are intended to help teams that fall behind in a game to catch up more quickly. The league will not use instant replay (the league has no television contract, making instant replay impossible). The league also will use a slightly shorter play clock. Teams are restricted to 36 players on each roster, with any person 18 years of older eligible to play. Its level of play can be classified somewhere between minor league and semi-professional; players are compensated between $100 and $500 per game, on par with most indoor football leagues, but must pay their own travel expenses for away games.
