Jamboree Format FAQs

What is a Football Jamboree?  A Football Jamboree is a series of shortened games against multiple opponents in a short duration.  Teams will play shortened games or matches and rotate in quick order.

Hopkins Jamboree Format

  • We will be playing 8 games or sessions simultaneously on US Bank Stadium. 
  • The play will be "one way" with offense starting with ball at mid-field.  Touchdowns will be Vikings sideline and as marked with cones.  
  • Balls will start on hash marks.  First downs at approximately 15 yards and goal lines. 
  • Interceptions will be called dead.  Ball location will be noted and stepped from normal hash starting point.  For example, if the ball is intercepted at 5 yards from hash, the teams would be reversed and ball placed 5 yards from end zone.
