Definition: Written & Unwritten• Written rules are found in a rule book.
They're also known as formal rules or, in game activities, the laws of the game. They can dictate how an activity is performed. Officials such as referees, touch judges and umpires make sure written rules are carried out.
• Informal codes of conduct which you won't find in a rulebook. They say how a team or player should behave, and are sometimes called 'etiquette' or 'sportsmanship'. These rules recognise the importance of co-operation, showing respect, and consideration for others.

Official and Unofficial Rules of fair play
• All activities have official and unofficial rules of fair play.
• Football
Official Rule: Offside
Explanation: Attacking players in the attacking half of the pitch must have at least one defender between them and the goalkeeper when in an active position.
Purpose of Rule: The offside rule is specific to football and is designed to define where to and how attackers can move when in the attacking half of the pitch. The rule also provides defenders with a tactic to counter the attacking team’s strengths

Official and Unofficial Rules of fair play
• Football
Official Rule: Tackling
Explanation: When challenging for possession you need to play the ball and avoid having your feet raised off the ground with studs showing.
Purpose of Rule: The rule is designed to ensure safe and fair play. Winning possession by over physical challenges for the ball could injure other players and detract from the official rules about how to tackle.

Official and Unofficial Rules of fair play
• Football
Unofficial Rule: Injury to opposing team player
Explanation: If an opposing team player is injured and requires medical attention it is an unofficial rule to deliberately play the ball out of the pitch. It is fair play for possession to be deliberately returned to the team which played the ball out of the pitch when the game restarts.
Purpose of Rule: Safety! Playing the ball out of play allows the game to be stopped and medical staff can come onto the pitch.
