question: In American football how many downs are needed to gain 10 yards?

question: When a down begins, how far away must the American defending team be?

question: What causes the American game to have less offensive rushing?
context: In Canada, the term "football" may refer to Canadian football and American football collectively, or to either sport specifically, depending on context. The two sports have shared origins and are closely related but have significant differences. In particular, Canadian football has 12 players on the field per team rather than 11; the field is roughly 10 yards wider, and 10 yards longer between end-zones that are themselves 10 yards deeper; and a team has only three downs to gain 10 yards, which results in less offensive rushing than in the American game. In the Canadian game all players on the defending team, when a down begins, must be at least 1 yard from the line of scrimmage. (The American game has a similar "neutral zone" but it is only the length of the football.)

context: The first written account of a game played was on October 15, 1862, on the Montreal Cricket Grounds. It was between the First Battalion Grenadier Guards and the Second Battalion Scots Fusilier Guards resulting in a win by the Grenadier Guards 3 goals, 2 rouges to nothing.[citation needed] In 1864, at Trinity College, Toronto, F. Barlow Cumberland, Frederick A. Bethune, and Christopher Gwynn, one of the founders of Milton, Massachusetts, devised rules based on rugby football. The game gradually gained a following, with the Hamilton Football Club formed on November 3, 1869, (the oldest football club in Canada). Montreal formed a team April 8, 1872, Toronto was formed on October 4, 1873, and the Ottawa FBC on September 20, 1876.

question: When did the Football Association of Canada reorganize to form CRU?

question: Which organization founded in 1873 became the Canadian Football League?

question: When were the ORFU and the CRU formed?
context: The first attempt to establish a proper governing body and adopted the current set of Rugby rules was the Foot Ball Association of Canada, organized on March 24, 1873 followed by the Canadian Rugby Football Union (CRFU) founded June 12, 1880, which included teams from Ontario and Quebec. Later both the Ontario and Quebec Rugby Football Union (ORFU and QRFU) were formed (January 1883), and then the Interprovincial (1907) and Western Interprovincial Football Union (1936) (IRFU and WIFU). The CRFU reorganized into an umbrella organization forming the Canadian Rugby Union (CRU) in 1891. The original forerunners to the current Canadian Football League, was established in 1956 when the IRFU and WIFU formed an umbrella organization, The Canadian Football Council (CFC). And then in 1958 the CFC left The CRFU to become The CFL.

qas: question: Which Canadian football rules did the ORFU adopt in 1903?
answers: text: Burnside

question: Which three Canadian football unions resisted the Burnside Rules?
answers: text: CIRFU, QRFU and CRU

question: In which year did forward passes become acceptable in Canadian football?
answers: text: 1929

question: Which style of North American football changed the rules of their game the most from their earliest versions?
answers: text: American

question: When were the American rules incorporated?

question: Why did the CIRFU create Burnside rules?

question: In what year did the American game allow forward passes?

question: What did the Canadian side reduce teams to per side?

question: What difference did the Canadian side adopt before the American side?
context: The Burnside rules closely resembling American Football that were incorporated in 1903 by The ORFU, was an effort to distinguish it from a more rugby-oriented game. The Burnside Rules had teams reduced to 12 men per side, introduced the Snap-Back system, required the offensive team to gain 10 yards on three downs, eliminated the Throw-In from the sidelines, allowed only six men on the line, stated that all goals by kicking were to be worth two points and the opposition was to line up 10 yards from the defenders on all kicks. The rules were an attempt to standardize the rules throughout the country. The CIRFU, QRFU and CRU refused to adopt the new rules at first. Forward passes were not allowed in the Canadian game until 1929, and touchdowns, which had been five points, were increased to six points in 1956, in both cases several decades after the Americans had adopted the same changes. The primary differences between the Canadian and American games stem from rule changes that the American side of the border adopted but the Canadian side did not (originally, both sides had three downs, goal posts on the goal lines and unlimited forward motion, but the American side modified these rules and the Canadians did not). The Canadian field width was one rule that was not based on American rules, as the Canadian game played in wider fields and stadiums that were not as narrow as the American stadiums.

question: When did amateur teams dominate the Canadian football championship?
context: The Grey Cup was established in 1909 after being donated by Albert Grey, 4th Earl Grey, The Governor General of Canada as the championship of teams under the CRU for the Rugby Football Championship of Canada. Initially an amateur competition, it eventually became dominated by professional teams in the 1940s and early 1950s. The Ontario Rugby Football Union, the last amateur organization to compete for the trophy, withdrew from competition in 1954. The move ushered in the modern era of Canadian professional football.

question: When was the Grey Cup aborted?

question: What did the South Division win while successfully playing in the CFL?

question: How was it believed that the CFL was used to help struggling Canadian teams?
context: Canadian football has mostly been confined to Canada, with the United States being the only other country to have hosted a high-level Canadian football game. The CFL's controversial "South Division" as it would come to be officially known attempted to put CFL teams in the United States playing under Canadian rules between 1992 and 1995. The move was aborted after three years; the Baltimore Stallions were the most successful of the numerous Americans teams to play in the CFL, winning the 83rd Grey Cup. Continuing financial losses, a lack of proper Canadian football venues, a pervasive belief that the American teams were simply pawns to provide the struggling Canadian teams with expansion fee revenue, and the return of the NFL to Baltimore prompted the end of Canadian football on the American side of the border.

There are 20 junior teams in three divisions in the Canadian Junior Football League competing for the Canadian Bowl. The Quebec Junior Football League includes teams from Ontario and Quebec who battle for the Manson Cup.

qas: question: How many yards wide is a Canadian football field?
answers: text: 65

question: How long in meters is the crossbar of a Canadian football goal?
answers: text: 5.6

question: What part of a Canadian football field was sometimes marked with a "G"?
answers: text: goal line

question: What distance from the sidelines are hash marks painted on a CFL field?
answers: text: 24 yards (21.9 m)

question: Whose football fields are hundred 50 yards wide and 65 yards long?

question: In higher calibre stadiums what is preferred?

question: What single-curved post lines drawn every 5 yards from the goal line called?

question: How far from the goalposts are hashmarks painted?

question: What is cut off to accommodate the yard lines at Commonwealth Stadium?
context: The Canadian football field is 150 yards (137 m) long and 65 yards (59 m) wide with end zones 20 yards (18 m) deep, and goal lines 110 yards (101 m) apart. At each goal line is a set of 40-foot-high (12 m) goalposts, which consist of two uprights joined by an 18 1⁄2-foot-long (5.6 m) crossbar which is 10 feet (3 m) above the goal line. The goalposts may be H-shaped (both posts fixed in the ground) although in the higher-calibre competitions the tuning-fork design (supported by a single curved post behind the goal line, so that each post starts 10 feet (3 m) above the ground) is preferred. The sides of the field are marked by white sidelines, the goal line is marked in white, and white lines are drawn laterally across the field every 5 yards (4.6 m) from the goal line. These lateral lines are called "yard lines" and often marked with the distance in yards from and an arrow pointed toward the nearest goal line. In previous decades, arrows were not used and every yard line was usually marked with the distance to the goal line, including the goal line itself which was marked with a "0"; in most stadiums today, the 10-, 20-, 30-, 40-, and 50-yard lines are marked with numbers, with the goal line sometimes being marked with a "G". The centre (55-yard) line usually is marked with a "C". "Hash marks" are painted in white, parallel to the yardage lines, at 1 yard (0.9 m) intervals, 24 yards (21.9 m) from the sidelines. On fields that have a surrounding running track, such as Commonwealth Stadium, Molson Stadium, and many universities, the end zones are often cut off in the corners to accommodate the track. In 2014, Edmonton placed turf over the track to create full end zones. This was particularly common among U.S.-based teams during the CFL's American expansion, where few American stadiums were able to accommodate the much longer and noticeably wider CFL field.

qas: question: Which team calls heads or tails in the coin flip before a CFL game?
answers: text: visiting

question: Who on a football team articulates the team's decision following the coin flip?
answers: text: captain

question: What can the team that wins the coin toss choose besides whether they wish to kick off or receive the ball?

question: What's typical for the team that recieves the kick?

question: After the kickoff in the second half who is given first choice?

question: What is one option the opposing captain is given  if they choose first choice after winning the coin toss?
context: At the beginning of a match, an official tosses a coin and allows the captain of the visiting team call heads or tails. The captain of the team winning the coin toss is given the option of having first choice, or of deferring first choice to the other captain. The captain making first choice may either choose a) to kick off or receive the kick and the beginning of the half, or b) which direction of the field to play in. The remaining choice is given to the opposing captain. Before the resumption of play in the second half, the captain that did not have first choice in the first half is given first choice. Teams usually choose to defer, so it is typical for the team that wins the coin toss to kick to begin the first half and receive to begin the second.

qas: question: What is the term for play stopped because the ball carrier, although not fully tackled, can no longer advance the ball?
answers: text: forward progress

question: Where does the next play start unless a team has just scored?
answers: text: scrimmage

question: Which touchdown causes play to stop when not caught?

question: Where does the next field goal start unless a team has scored?

question: What means play stopped because the ball carrier can move forward?
context: Play stops when the ball carrier's knee, elbow, or any other body part aside from the feet and hands, is forced to the ground (a tackle); when a forward pass is not caught on the fly (during a scrimmage); when a touchdown (see below) or a field goal is scored; when the ball leaves the playing area by any means (being carried, thrown, or fumbled out of bounds); or when the ball carrier is in a standing position but can no longer move forwards (called forward progress). If no score has been made, the next play starts from scrimmage.

qas: question: What minimum distance from the sideline does the official place the ball before play starts?
answers: text: 24 yards

question: What is the term for the line across the field where the ball is positioned before a play?
answers: text: line of scrimmage

question: How many players must the team with possession place near the line of scrimmage?
answers: text: seven

question: How close to the line of scrimmage can defensive players approach before a play is run?
answers: text: one yard

question: What is the minimum distance from the defending team does the official place the ball before play?

question: How many yards must the possessing team place near the line of scrimmage?

question: How close to the length of the ball can defensive players be before a play?

question: Where must an official stay until a play has begun again?

question: What makes a goal line valid?
context: Before scrimmage, an official places the ball at the spot it was at the stop of clock, but no nearer than 24 yards from the sideline or 1 yard from the goal line. The line parallel to the goal line passing through the ball (line from sideline to sideline for the length of the ball) is referred to as the line of scrimmage. This line is similar to "no-man's land"; players must stay on their respective sides of this line until the play has begun again. For a scrimmage to be valid the team in possession of the football must have seven players, excluding the quarterback, within one yard of the line of scrimmage. The defending team must stay a yard or more back from the line of scrimmage.

qas: question: How many players does each side field in an American football game?
answers: text: 11

question: What is the term for the team who begins a play with control of the ball?
answers: text: offence

answers: text: the snap

question: Which two players most commonly receive the first backward pass in a football play?
answers: text: quarterback or punter

question: What is the term for a team with control of the quarterback?

question: What is the defence of the ball in play called?

question: Name a player that commonly receives the first possession of the ball?

question: How many possessions does each team have in an American game?

question: What is the running back in possession of the ball called?
context: On the field at the beginning of a play are two teams of 12 (unlike 11 in American football). The team in possession of the ball is the offence and the team defending is referred to as the defence. Play begins with a backwards pass through the legs (the snap) by a member of the offensive team, to another member of the offensive team. This is usually the quarterback or punter, but a "direct snap" to a running back is also not uncommon. If the quarterback or punter receives the ball, he may then do any of the following:

qas: question: What is another term for a completed play?
answers: text: down

question: How many plays can the offence run without gaining ten yards?
answers: text: three

question: How many downs does a team get after they've gained ten on their first down?

answers: text: punt

question: What is a forfeit play called?

question: What must the offence do within 10 yards or forfeit the ball?

question: What can a team use its 10 yards to gain?

question: How many field goals does a team get after they've gained ten on their first down?

question: What does a team do in their position on the field when they haven't advanced the ball enough to score?
context: Each play constitutes a down. The offence must advance the ball at least ten yards towards the opponents' goal line within three downs or forfeit the ball to their opponents. Once ten yards have been gained the offence gains a new set of three downs (rather than the four downs given in American football). Downs do not accumulate. If the offensive team completes 10 yards on their first play, they lose the other two downs and are granted another set of three. If a team fails to gain ten yards in two downs they usually punt the ball on third down or try to kick a field goal (see below), depending on their position on the field. The team may, however use its third down in an attempt to advance the ball and gain a cumulative 10 yards.

qas: question: What is the term for the player that is currently handing the football when play is underway?
answers: text: ball carrier

question: Within what distance from the line of scrimmage can offensive players who do not have the ball be legally contacted by defensive players?

answers: text: quarterback

question: What player can be legally tackeled when tripping the player he intends to block?

question: What player can't be interfered with unless he is within one yard of any player?

question: Which player may not be contacted after the kick after throwing a pass?

question: What are two illegal ways to currently be in possession of the ball near the line of scrimmage?

question: When is the rule applied where the offensive player may not be contacted?
context: There are many rules to contact in this type of football. First, the only player on the field who may be legally tackled is the player currently in possession of the football (the ball carrier). Second, a receiver, that is to say, an offensive player sent down the field to receive a pass, may not be interfered with (have his motion impeded, be blocked, etc.) unless he is within one yard of the line of scrimmage (instead of 5 yards (4.6 m) in American football). Any player may block another player's passage, so long as he does not hold or trip the player he intends to block. The kicker may not be contacted after the kick but before his kicking leg returns to the ground (this rule is not enforced upon a player who has blocked a kick), and the quarterback, having already thrown the ball, may not be hit or tackled.

qas: question: What is the usual penalty when the rules of play are violated?
answers: text: loss of yardage

question: How many yards does a team lose when they commit a minor penalty?
answers: text: five

question: How many yards does a team lose for face-masking?
answers: text: 15

question: What other than yardage is sometimes awarded the offence on a defensive penalty?
answers: text: first down

question: What is the usual penalty when first downs are violated?

question: How many loss of downs does a team have when they have a more serious penalty?

question: How many downs are automatically awarded to the offense when a team commits a minor penalty?

question: What happens when a team commits minor penalty such as face masking?

question: What other than yardage can be awarded to the offence on the line of scrimmage?
context: Infractions of the rules are punished with penalties, typically a loss of yardage of 5, 10 or 15 yards against the penalized team. Minor violations such as offside (a player from either side encroaching into scrimmage zone before the play starts) are penalized five yards, more serious penalties (such as holding) are penalized 10 yards, and severe violations of the rules (such as face-masking) are typically penalized 15 yards. Depending on the penalty, the penalty yardage may be assessed from the original line of scrimmage, from where the violation occurred (for example, for a pass interference infraction), or from where the ball ended after the play. Penalties on the offence may, or may not, result in a loss of down; penalties on the defence may result in a first down being automatically awarded to the offence. For particularly severe conduct, the game official(s) may eject players (ejected players may be substituted for), or in exceptional cases, declare the game over and award victory to one side or the other. Penalties do not affect the yard line which the offence must reach to gain a first down (unless the penalty results in a first down being awarded); if a penalty against the defence results in the first down yardage being attained, then the offence is awarded a first down.

qas: question: Where is the ball placed when a defensive penalty is committed in their own end zone?
answers: text: one-yard line

question: In which North American style of football is the line of scrimmage never inside the one-yard line?
answers: text: Canadian

question: A play that results in what outcome will never also be a scoring play?
answers: text: Penalties

question: How many penalty yards are awarded when the ball is nearer the goal line than the usual penalty yardage?
answers: text: half the distance to the goal line

question: Who do touchdowns never result in a score for?

question: When the defense commits penalty yardage in their end zone what happens?

question: How many penalty yards are given when the ball is nearer the first down than the usual penalty yardage?

question: What infraction  in the end zone advances the ball half the distance to the goal with an automatic first down?

question: In American football what can't start inside either one yard line?
context: Penalties never result in a score for the offence. For example, a point-of-foul infraction committed by the defence in their end zone is not ruled a touchdown, but instead advances the ball to the one-yard line with an automatic first down. For a distance penalty, if the yardage is greater than half the distance to the goal line, then the ball is advanced half the distance to the goal line, though only up to the one-yard line (unlike American football, in Canadian football no scrimmage may start inside either one-yard line). If the original penalty yardage would have resulted in a first down or moving the ball past the goal line, a first down is awarded.

qas: question: Who can decline a penalty?
answers: text: the non-penalized team

question: A team receiving a punt cannot decline a penalty on which down?
answers: text: 3rd down

question: The outcome of which play determines the placement of the ball when a penalty is declined?
answers: text: the previous play

question: What can a team do when they prefer the original outcome of a play to the situation they would have with a penalty assessed on the other team for that play?
answers: text: decline the penalty

question: Who can decline a previous play?

question: What will stand as if the 3rd down punt play had not been called?

question: After the runback is made what happens?

question: What is an exception to the change of possession for the non-penalized team?

question: After change of possession, what are assessed against the kicking team or the receiving team?
context: In most cases, the non-penalized team will have the option of declining the penalty; in which case the results of the previous play stand as if the penalty had not been called. One notable exception to this rule is if the kicking team on a 3rd down punt play is penalized before the kick occurs: the receiving team may not decline the penalty and take over on downs. After the kick is made, change of possession occurs and subsequent penalties are assessed against either the spot where the ball is caught, or the runback.

answers: text: 10

question: What is the penalty in American football for not having the down repeated within 20 seconds?

question: What is the penalty for convert attempts on the first two downs?

question: For what violation can the referee give the base penalty to the defense?

question: How many yards does the loss of down lose on third down?

question: On what down can the 20 second play clock give possession to the defense?
context: During the last three minutes of a half, the penalty for failure to place the ball in play within the 20-second play clock, known as "time count" (this foul is known as "delay of game" in American football), is dramatically different from during the first 27 minutes. Instead of the penalty being 5 yards with the down repeated, the base penalty (except during convert attempts) becomes loss of down on first or second down, and 10 yards on third down with the down repeated. In addition, as noted previously, the referee can give possession to the defence for repeated deliberate time count violations on third down.

question: What does the losing team have the option to do?

question: What is the name of the plays where the clock doesn't run near the end of a half?
context: The clock does not run during convert attempts in the last three minutes of a half. If the 15 minutes of a quarter expire while the ball is live, the quarter is extended until the ball becomes dead. If a quarter's time expires while the ball is dead, the quarter is extended for one more scrimmage. A quarter cannot end while a penalty is pending: after the penalty yardage is applied, the quarter is extended one scrimmage. Note that the non-penalized team has the option to decline any penalty it considers disadvantageous, so a losing team cannot indefinitely prolong a game by repeatedly committing infractions.

question: What is a team required to do after having a possession in the 2010 season?

question: In the 2010 season if a game is tied what can each team do?
context: In the CFL, if the game is tied at the end of regulation play, then each team is given an equal number of chances to break the tie. A coin toss is held to determine which team will take possession first; the first team scrimmages the ball at the opponent's 35-yard line and advances through a series of downs until it scores or loses possession. If the team scores a touchdown, starting with the 2010 season, it is required to attempt a 2-point conversion. The other team then scrimmages the ball at the same 35-yard line and has the same opportunity to score. After the teams have completed their possessions, if one team is ahead, then it is declared the winner; otherwise, the two teams each get another chance to score, scrimmaging from the other 35-yard line. After this second round, if there is still no winner, during the regular season the game ends as a tie. In a playoff or championship game, the teams continue to attempt to score from alternating 35-yard lines, until one team is leading after both have had an equal number of possessions.
