American Football Rules

 

Kickoffs: At the beginning of the game a coin is tossed to see which team receives the ball first. The team that controls the ball is the offense; the other team is the defense. Game duration is one hour, but it takes approximately 3 hours to play because the clock is often stopped for various reasons.

The game is divided into fifteen minute quarters with a major break at the thirty minute mark and is called half time. At the end of the 1st and 3rd quarters, the players simply change sides. The ball is moved to the corresponding point on the opposite side of the field, and play then continues. The players leave the field for twenty minutes at half-time. After half-time, play does not continue where it ended. Instead, the team that originally lost the coin toss gets possession of the the ball 1st.

At the beginning of each half and after every touchdown or field goal the defending team starts play by placing the ball on a tee at their thirty five yard line and kicking the ball toward the other team. This is called a kickoff.

The other team tries to catch the ball and run it back as far as possible. If the player catching the ball sees there is little chance of running it back, he raises his hand asking for a fair catch. In a fair catch, the defending team may not tackle him and he cannot  run with the ball. If the ball is kicked into the end zone and no one catches it or the player catching it does not run with it, there is a touchback and the 1st play begins at the offense's twenty yard line. A touchback does not score any points.
