    Abstract: FlagDown is an interactive (non-electronic) game that is played while watching a live or taped football game. The object of FlagDown is to receive the most penalty yardage by calling penalties as the live or taped football game is being played. The players of FlagDown compete between themselves by identifying penalties in the football game before their opponent and obtain yardage points by being the first to identify actual and/or potential penalties. Correctly identifying a penalty or potential penalty before the other opponents provides positive points. Incorrectly identifying penalties results in negative points. FlagDown can be played by a single player competing against their own past scores, single players competing with each other, teams competing with teams. Penalty flags, score keeper and game rules are included in package.
