Manual on Football

I like to play football. I might not be the best at it but i love to play it. There are many complex rules to playing football. When you get points on the scoreboard you either score a touchdown, get a 2 point conversion, get an extra point kick, or get an safety. You can also get a penalty that will get the ball taken back. If you have a tape then you can challenge the play and the referees can review the play to see if they made a right or wrong call. There are many levels or football. You can be in JV, Varsity, College, or the Pros. You can also play in either 8 or 11 man football. In 8 man football(which i play) there is a center, right and left guard, right or left tight end, a quarterback, a fullback, and a halfback. On defense, there is a right and left tackle, a right and left defensive end, a right and left corner, and a right and left linebacker.

When you get a toucdown, you cross the goal line and get 6 points on the board. After you get the touchdown, you have the chance between a 2 point conversion, or an extra point kick. If you go for the 2 point conversion, then you run a play instead of kicking it, or you can do a fake kick and run it in. If you are going to go for the extra point, the you just get 1 point and you kick the football into the fieldgoal. If you get a saftey then you tackle the opposing team in there endzone. Then you get 2 points and they punt it to you and you return it. If you are going to pass the ball on offense, then only 2 guys can go out for a pass. The full back or the half back can run the ball. The quarterback can also run the ball. The line of scrimmage is where the ball is when the last player with the ball was tackled. If you go and jump the line of scrimmage before the ball is snaped, then that is offsides and a penalty. There are many rules that i am not going to get into because it would be hours before i was done.
