Canadian football Sport and American Football are similar in most respects, but there are some significant differences in rules. Form of football developed in the mid-19th century from rugby football and modified by American football early in 20th century. Canadian football is played by teams of 12 players on a field marked the same as an American football gridiron. but 10 yds (9 m) longer and 11.5 yds (10.5 m) wider. A deadline is marked off 20 yds (18 m) behind each goal line. and the space between these lines is the goal area. At the start of each play, the defensive line players must be at least 1 yd (91 cm). and behind the line of scrimmage (an imaginary line designating the position of the ball). Offensive line players are the only players not allowed to be in motion before the ball is snapped. Only three downs (attempts to move the ball 10 yds in order to be awarded a new set of downs) are allowed. SCORING METHOD OF CANADIAN FOOTBALL Scoring in Canadian foo
