CFL question
 

I was flipping through the channels and saw a CFL game on and one team had 1 point.

can someone explain this?

If the ball gets kicked out of the endzone the team that kicked it out gets 1 point.Then kicks off to the opposing team

What? So if you had a kicker with a huge rocket of a leg you could just sit there and have him kick it out of the end zone all game and never play the actual game? I know thats not realistic, but in theory is it possible?

yes it's possible, it's quite a stupid rule... also if someone misses a fieldgoal the person in the endzone can catch it and kneel and conceed a single point... in a game last year it came down to a guy needing to kick like a 55 yard field goal so instead they just went to boot it right through the endzone, the other team lined up there whole team at the end of the endzone to try and stop it... it didn't work and the other team won by a point.

'Tis a dumb rule, basically you are rewarded one point for missing a field goal.

CFL has some ridiculous rules from what I have seen

Why don't they just use the same rules as the NFL, like no exact, but pretty much NFL, NCAA and High School all use pretty much the same rules. I don't understand why the CFL has to try to make their style of play so much different.

Also saw Brad Banks play the other night, he was the man back at Iowa. I figured he would be doing bigger things then playing in the CFL as a backup, but I guess not.

they don't use the same rules as the states because it's the canadian version :p

also all the canadian junior,high school, college teams in canada play CFL rules.

:roll:

It's Canadian Football that's why. Although the 1 point rule is rather newish
