 alright everybody what is going on welcome back to another video today we're going to look at canadian football we're going to look at the rules we're going to look at my man nin li explains the differences between american and canadian football this is a game of american football and we're going to click on a link that comes up right now they both look the same so they must be the same sport right well no not quite there's several rule differences between the two that makes them almost completely different sports before i explain the differences if you guys want some more detailed explanation of the rules click here for american football and click here for canadian football okay nin explains the rules of canadian football the object of the game is fuel the rules of canadian football explained i can't wait from what i saw in my previous video looking at the differences between american football and canadian football i really liked it and i guess i'm just going to have to watch some to just get the feel of of how how it works and how they play both teams score more points than the opposing team teams are made up of 44 players with 12 players taking the field at any one time the field is 110 yards long by 65 yards wide with two 20-yard end zones at each end white markings on the field help players referees and spectators keep a track of what's going on the game starts with a kickoff the team with possession of the ball is known as the offense and the team without the ball is the defense the job of the offense is to move the ball up the field and score points this can be done by either running forwards with the ball or by throwing up the field for a teammate to catch the offense has given three chances or three downs to make at least 10 yards so the difference so for these three 10 yards or more they will retain possession of the ball whilst giving another three downs to make another 10 yards on your tv screen you'll see this graphic this tells you what down the team is on and this tells you how many yards they need to make if you're also watching this on tv they will also show you the lines that they need to cross in order to make their downs okay so these these are some very very basic rules but but i appreciate the defense's job is to stop the offense moving the ball by tackling this includes pulling them to the ground stopping them from moving forward or forcing them off the field if the offense fails to move the ball 10 yards within three downs the ball is given to the defending team at that point the defending team will then bring on their offensive players and try and move the ball in the opposite direction so that they can score you'll most likely see the offense kick the ball away on third down you know what rugby league may have been made from canadian football how was i don't want to get this wrong how was how was canadian football invented while canadian james naysmith invented basketball americans american style football also came from canada after americans played a game developed in canada huh let me read this in canada the term football may refer to canadian football and american football collectively or to either sport specifically defending depending on context the two sports have shared origins and are closely related but have some key differences rugby football in canada originated in the early 1860s and over time the game known as canadian football developed there you go rugby football rugby rugby in canada originated in the early 1860s and over time the game known known as canadian football developed i'm proud to be a rugby player i love it for the other team to score the teams will usually have three different units of 12 players that come on the field at different times they include the offense these players will usually come on the field when they have possession of the ball the offensive unit consists of these positions the quarterback is the most important player on the field and he's the one who decides to pass the ball at the field handed off to a team mate so that they can run with it or decide to run with it himself the offensive line positions are usually responsible for protecting the quarterback the wide receivers and slot backs are responsible for running down the field to catch the ball thrown by the quarterback the running back and fullback are responsible for running with the ball up the field the defense each players will usually come on the field when the other team has the ball the defensive unit consists of these positions the defensive line is responsible for moving past the offensive line the linebackers stop running backs coming through the middle and they're also responsible for attacking the quarterback the quarterback's try and stop the wide receivers and the safety's try and stop the pass up the middle of the field special teams special teams are specialist players that come on the field when there's a kick involved within the special teams is a mixture of offensive and defensive players mixed with either a punter or kicker for offense or a punt returner bang off the lift now you know what all the do you guys know what a bang off the lift is i'll show you within the special teams is a mixture of offensive and defensive players mixed with either rip ah i fucking missed it within the special teams is a mixture of offensive and defensive players mixed with either a punter or kicker for offense or a punt returner for defense now you know what all the plays do and how the game is played but how do you score in canadian football there's five different ways of scoring number one touchdown really the main way of scoring is via a touchdown if the ball is carried into the end zone area both throwing court in the end zone this is the touchdown and is worth six points unlike in rugby you don't need to touch the ball down onto the ground all you have to do is cross the line with the nose of the ball to score number two extra points once the touchdown has been scored you have the option of kicking it through the uprights for an extra point or trying to pass the ball into the end zone again for an extra two points most teams play it safe and go with the one point number three a field goal at any time the team with the ball can kick the ball between the posts and over the crossbar and you can get a point for clearing the end zone to do this they must hand it to a teammate who will hold it onto the ground ready for the kicker to make the kick a successful kick scores three points nice kick number four safety if the defense tackles an offensive player behind his own goal line the defending team scores two points number five rouge unique unique football a rouge more commonly known as a single scores one point for the following three scenarios if the kicking team misses a field goal and it goes out of bounds if the kicking team punts the ball out of bounds through the end zone or if a defensive player is tackled in his own end zone after a kick each of these scores one point our game is played in four 15 minute quarters for a combined playing time of 60 minutes high score at the end of 60 minutes wins there are no ties in canadian football so over time he just didn't bang off of me sorry to determine the winner is that it is that all i need to know well you're almost there but canadian football is filled with lost finally running back a few more of them before you watch or play a game for example fumble if a ball carrier or passer drops the ball that's a fumble any player on the field can recover the ball by diving or running with it the team that recovers the fumble gets possession of the ball interception an aggressive defense can regain possession of the ball by catching or intercepting passes that are meant for players on the other team both fumble recoveries and interceptions can be run back into the end zone for touchdowns incomplete pass if a pass intended to receive a Instagram first it is ruled an incomplete pass a down is wasted and play restart from the spot of the last down can you imagine if an incomplete was actually a live ball and if the ball hit the ground you could still play that's what rugby is that's the essence of rugby it's live all the time anything can happen at any moment you know i'd love for that to be a rule but it just can't be i guess not see if a player breaks one of the rules referees will throw flags onto the field they will then determine who made the foul and how many yards his team should be penalized timeouts if a team wants to stop the clock to regroup take a break or discuss strategy they are allowed one timeout per half each timeout plus 60 seconds and players get a break of 14 minutes at half time this is all up to taken but once you start playing or watching i was actually watching the pictures i didn't listen to anything about it i didn't listen to anything just me after we have to listen to it again at one timeout per half one timeout 60 seconds and players get a break of 14 minutes at half time this is all up to taken but once you start playing or watching Canadian football the rules will become clear if you found this video at all helpful please like share with your friends rate and comment it takes me ages to make one of these videos and good
