Rules
These rules discuss the most common form of touch as governed by the Federation of International Touch but minor local variations are sometimes used. For the full set of rules see the F.I.T. Rulebook (pdf)
Note that the sport of Touch has a number of recognised variations including:
- Beach Touch, where the defence has one less player than the attack and as the name suggests, is played on beach.
- 1-Touch, where the attacking team is allowed 1 possession to score before handing the ball over.
- 2-Touch, same as above except the attacking team is allowed 2 touches.

Famous quotes containing the word rules:
“Carnal lust rules where there is no love of God.”
—St. Augustine (354–430)
“However diligent she may be, however dedicated, no mother can escape the larger influences of culture, biology, fate . . . until we can actually live in a society where mothers and children genuinely matter, ours is an essentially powerless responsibility. Mothers carry out most of the work orders, but most of the rules governing our lives are shaped by outside influences.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“[O]ur rules can have authority over such natural rights only as we have submitted to them. The rights of conscience we never submitted, we could not submit. We are answerable for them to our God.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
