thanks. But as for the conversion---

quote:

Conversion (Extra Point) = 2 pts - Like an extra point but you kick it from the angle that you score, i.e. if you score 5 yards from out of bounds you have to kick the conversion (extra point) from 5 yards away from the sideline.


How long is the field? If you score on a 5 yard run,you'd kick from 5 yards. How often does someone score from 40 yards? Would you kick it from the 40?

The field is 100m from goal line to goal line. You can back as far as you want or as close as you want perpendicular to the goal line. But you must go directly back from the spot that the ball was touched down.

That's why if you watch a game players will run into the middle of the goal post before touching the ball down. In that case you would kick the conversion from directly in front of the goal posts as far back as you wanted to put it.

Since there aren't really plays or a line of scrimmage there isn't really a true 5-yard play or 40-yard play as play doesn't stop after a tackle.
