The differences between Canadian and American football.

American and Canadian football both dropped from rugby and started in Canada as a game played between British warriors posted in Montreal. The warriors played a progression of games against understudies at McGill University. McGill played a few games against Harvard in 1874 and custom was conceived. In spite of their common beginnings, the Canadian and the American game grew distinctively and now have considerably various standards and guidelines.

The greatest contrast among Canadian and American football is the size of the battleground. In Canada, football fields are 110 yards in length and 65 yards wide. In America, football fields are 100 yards in length and 53 and 1/3 yards wide. The goal lines in Canadian football are set at the front, instead of the rear of the end zone which is likewise more profound in Canadian football than American.

Canadian football crews have twelve players rather than the eleven on American groups. Since a similar number of players is required at the line of scrimmage in the two games, this outcome in an additional backfield player on Canadian groups. This implies the average Canadian hostile arrangement has two opening backs rather than a tight end and on safeguard, two protective halfbacks, and one security rather than two protections as is normal in the American game.

Another distinction between the two games is the number of downs. Rather than four as in the American game, Canadian football has three. This outcome in a more pass and kick-situated game since there are fewer downs accessible for short-yardage running plays. The kicking rules are likewise marginally extraordinary with the kicker having the option to recuperate and propel his own kick. Therefore, kicking is a considerably more essential piece of Canadian football than American.

The greatest contrast between the kicking rules in the two games is that there is no reasonable catch rule in Canadian football. In American football, if a kick returner figures he won't have the option to propel the ball after recuperation, he can flag for a reasonable catch and be safe from contact. In Canadian football, no player on the kicking group aside from the kicker and any players behind him on the field may actually be inside 5 yards of the ball except if it has been moved by an adversary. Likewise, in Canadian football, any kick that goes into the end zone is a live ball, aside from fruitful field objectives.

There are other minor contrasts too including scoring, movement, and time leads yet they are not as critical as the significant contrasts noted here.
