Ok, can someone confirm my beliefs in what I think is going on here please, it would be much appreciated.
What I have gathered is
- Coin flip determines kickoff, team who catchs it runs as far as possible towards the goal line (touchdown zone) when the player holding the ball is tackled play begins there.
- Players line up on the line of scrimmage and must be ten yards from each other, with 5 people on the line, 5 back and the QB
- The snapper snaps the ball back to a player behind (doesnt have to be QB, can be a hand off I think its called)
- Have to gain 10 yards within 4 downs to gain a new 1st down
- Can run the ball or pass the ball for the ten yards
- 11 players to a side
- Touchdown is 6 points, a tackle of player in touchdown zone is 2 points (safety) and after a touchdown they get a chance to
1) Kick a field goal (from how far out?) for 1 point
2) Make another TD (from 10 yards out I think) for 2 points? or is it 3?
If the positions could be defined as well, I would love that
