  • American Football
    COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 American Football American Football popularly known as the Rugby Football or Gridiron originated in United States resembling a union of Rugby and soccer; played in between two teams with each team of eleven players. American football gained fame as the people wanted to detach themselves from the English influence. The father of this sport Walter Camp altered the shape and size of the ball to an oval-shaped ball called ovoid ball and drawn up some unique set of rules. Objective American Football is played on a four sided ground with goalposts at each end. The two opposing teams are named as the Offense and the Defense, The offensive team with control of the ovoid ball, tries to go ahead down the field by running and passing the ball, while the defensive team without control of the ball, targets to stop the offensive team’s advance and tries to take control of the ball for themselves. The main objective of the sport is scoring maximum number of goals by moving forward with the ball into the opposite team's end line for a touchdown or kicking the ball through the challenger's goalposts which is counted as a goal and the team gets points for the goal. The team with the most points at the end of a game wins. THANKS FOR READING – VISIT OUR WEBSITE www.educatererindia.com COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 Team Size American football is played in between two teams and each team consists of eleven players on the field and four players as substitutes with total of fifteen players in each team.

  • Ultimate 4'S Rules Modifications
    Ultimate 4’s Rules Modifications - Proposed Appendix to 2020-21 Rules Overview - Ultimate 4’s is an exciting and accessible variation of ultimate adapted for smaller teams and smaller fields. Like other variations that use smaller numbers, such as Beach Ultimate, 4’s helps create an opportunity for more involvement from everyone on the field. With shorter stall counts, play moves at a faster pace, and the smaller field creates a space where more throwers can reach all areas of the field. The need for fewer people and less field space makes the sport more accessible in multiple ways. While played with most of the same rules as regulation ultimate, including field surface, matches consist of multiple short games rather than one long one. The first team to win two of the three games wins the match, a format which lends itself to exciting comebacks and thrilling tie-breakers. The following adaptations to the rules are to be used in Ultimate 4’s competition. These adaptations may be additions to the current official rules or may supersede existing rules. Other than these additions and changes, the current official rules apply to Ultimate 4’s competition. Field size (yards) Central Zone Length: 37 Length: Central Zone (goal line to goal line) Width: 25 End Zone: 8 Total Length: 53 Note: Total length is the approximate width of an American football field. Matches and Games Matches are best of 3 games. The third game is not required if one team wins the first two games. Point Totals The first two games are to 5.

  • International Federation of American Football: Football Rules and Interpretations 2020 Edition
    INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL FOOTBALL RULES AND INTERPRETATIONS 2020 EDITION 2020.2.4 Foreword The rules are revised each year by IFAF to improve the sport’s level of safety and quality of play, and to clarify the meaning and intent of rules where needed. The principles that govern all rule changes are that they must: • be safe for the participants; • be applicable at all levels of the sport; • be coachable; • be administrable by the officials; • maintain a balance between offense and defence; • be interesting to spectators; • not have a prohibitive economic impact; and • retain some affinity with the rules adopted by NCAA in the USA. IFAF statutes require all member federations to play by IFAF rules, except in the following regards: 1. national federations may adapt Rule 1 to meet local needs and circumstances, provided no adaption reduces the safety of the players or other participants; 2. competitions may adjust the rules according to (a) the age group of the participants and (b) the gender of the participants; 3. competition authorities have the right to amend certain specific rules (listed on page 12); 4. national federations may restrict the above so that the same regulations apply to all competitions under their jurisdiction. These rules apply to all IFAF organised competitions and take effect from 1st March 2020. National federations may adopt them earlier for their domestic competitions. For brevity, male pronouns are used extensively in this book, but the rules are equally applicable to female and male participants.
