Canadian football is a team sport originally from Canada. It combines strategies complex and intense physical play. The goal is to score points by carrying an oval ball to the opponents' goal area at the end of the field. The ball may be advanced by carrying it (a race) or by throwing to a teammate (a password). The points can be marked as different ways by crossing the goal line with the ball, throwing the ball to another player on the opposite side of the goal line by plating an opposing player with the ball in his own goal area or by drawing up the ball between the goalposts enemy. The winner is the team scoring the most points at the end of the match.
The origins of rugby in Canada date back to the early 1860s History The first documented football match was held on 9 November 1861 at University College at the University of Toronto. A football club was formed at the university shortly afterwards, although the rules of the game at that time was not yet clear. In 1864, Trinity College, Toronto , F. Barlow Cumberland and Frederick A. Bethune devised rules based on rugby. However, the modern Canadian football is considered to have originated during a rugby match played in Montreal in 1865 , when officers of the British Army stationed in Montreal , faced a team of civilians. The new game is gradually gaining interest and the Montreal Football Club was formed in 1868 , becoming the first non-university football club in Canada. This rugby-football quickly became popular at the McGill University in Montreal. In 1874 , McGill challenged the Harvard University for a game. Through this student game, the game now known as American football was introduced to the United States . The predecessors of the Canadian Football League include the Canadian Rugby Football Union (CRFU) and the Canadian Rugby Union. The CRFU, original forerunner of today's league, was founded in 1882. As the rules of American football are very similar to Canadian football, the CFL has maintained a close relationship with his American counterpart, the National Football League (NFL). Many American players come to play in the CFL. The Canadian Football League is the most popular and only major league professional Canadian football. Its championship game, the Grey Cup is the biggest sporting event in Canada only. It is watched by nearly a third of the population . Canadian football is played in high school, junior, college, university and semi-professional. The Canadian Junior Football League and Football League Quebec Junior Leagues are for players aged 18 to 22 years. The Vanier Cup is the Canadian university football championship in Canada. Higher leagues such as the Alberta Football League have gained popularity in recent years. A Hall of Fame Canadian Football lists the achievements and accomplishments in this area. The playing area is 110 yards ( yards ) long (100.58 m) at 65 yards wide (59.44 m) . It is therefore longer than that used to play football which is 100 yards long (91.45 m) 53 1 / 3(49.39 m) wide. Areas of goals located at each end, extend the field 20 yards each (18.29 m). The bounds are indicated by the inner side of the lines enclosing the area formed by the playground and the end zones combined. So we find two lines of sides two lines of the goals four lines of sides in the end zone and two end lines ) . The goal posts are placed at the center of each goal line. The distance between the two poles is 18 feet 6 inches (5.64 m). Their height is 40 feet (12.19 m). A crossbar connects them. It is placed at a height of 10 feet (3.04 m). The brown leather ball is inflated to a pressure that varies between 12.5 psi and 13.5 psi (0.86 to 0.93 bar ). A regulation soccer ball the CFL is 11 inches and 11.25 inches long (28 cm and 28.6 cm). The laces exposed can not measure more than 4 / 8 inches long (11.11 cm) and over 1 1 / 8 inch (2.86 cm) wide. The ball weighs between 14 and 15 ounces (397 grams and 425). The game lasts 60 minutes and includes two periods called "halves" separated by a half. Each half is divided into two sub-periods called "quarters", each shift lasts 15 minutes. The timer can be stopped or not after each game according to specified rules, teams can also boast a number of stoppages in play or "dead time" during the game. The goal is to get the ball into the opponent's goal area to score points in the following ways: A Canadian football game takes place in two distinct game tactics: attack and defense. Every moment of the match, one team is in attack phase while the other is being defensive. The change between the two phases takes place several times detailed below. Both teams -12 players-are deployed to the diagram below cons, with some variations depending on the strategy of the moment. Each player represents a position and a strategic role identified as follows: In attack (blue): On defense (red): The game begins with a kickoff. This kick is used to initiate the start of each half or to resume play after a team scored a touchdown. It is, in most cases, used to send the ball as far as possible into the opponent. A player from the opposing team must catch the ball and try to advance ball in hand. The place where the player will be plated up the ball will determine where the attack phase begins for his team. The team with the ball is in the process of attack and has called three attempted tests to cover 10 yards. Before each test, the attacking team is usually a short conclave called caucus where the quarterback announces the strategy of the test. If, after three trials, the team has traveled this distance, the ball is given to the opponent. The opponent then recovered the ball at the place where the attack stopped: it's a turnover. To prevent the opposing team gets the ball too close to the end zone and is therefore in a position to score too favorable, the offensive team may make a kick (usually performed during the third test) to clear the ball. This game is called punt. In attack phase two means of progression can be used: In both cases the whole team can make blocks to protect the players carrying the ball (quarterback, runner or receiver). Blocks must be made only by pushing the opponent or obstructing, without using arms or hands to remember. Phase defense several methods can be used to halt the progression of the ball: In case of a tie, each team is allowed one extra possession from the 35-yard line of the opposing team. Each possession ends when the attacking team or brand undergoes a reversal. The team that scored the most points after two possessions is declared the winner. If both teams scored the same number of points, an additional set of possessions is played, and so on to determine a winner. However, it is impossible to win the game by making a single or red. There is a way to play a kick is a commitment that onside kick (must exceed 10 yards for regulatory) to retrieve the ball instead of the opposing team and begin a phase of attack and. This particular way to run a kickoff onside kick is called and is commonly used, as in the case where the team before the run is forced to go back quickly to score. If the kicking team can not recover the ball before the opposing team, it will begin its attack phase at a distance near the goal line. This distance will usually try it, at minimum, a field goal accuracy good for three points. There are seven officials on the field during a match in the Canadian Football League. The referee is responsible for all operations. He is assisted in its work by a judge of scrimmage, a field judge, a justice of the backfield, a linesman, a line judge and chief justice of the line. Amateur football calendar and school high school and college (Quebec only) played with 4 trials (as in football ) as opposed to 3 at the junior, university and professional. Other rules are those of Canadian football (there are 12 players on the field, the field is the same length that is to say 110 yards, etc..).
