What is a touchdown?  How many points is it worth?
79213
A touchdown is the primary method of scoring in American and Canadian football, in which the ball carrier causes the football to break the plane of the end zone, or an eligible receiver catches a forward pass in the end zone, thus earning 6 points for his team (in both codes). \n\nA touchdown is worth 6 points.\n\nI should also mention that you have this posted in the Baseball area. While a touchdown is referring to the sport of Football.

you create 2 teams. and you designate 2 touchdown zones like football. one team throws the frisbee to the other team. then the other team has to pass it to their players without letting the frisbee hit the ground. If it hits the ground it is the other teams frisbee. but if it doesn't hit the ground then you can try to get someone in the touchdown zone and try to score. the set limit that you play to can vary . my friends and i play to 11 .

Sorry, I missed the game.  Fanball has Driver with 2 catches for 82 yards, including a 48 yard touchdown, so they have also scored it to Green.\n\nWhen I ran a league, I had a rule that the scoring could be changed on Tuesday by the NFL, but on Wednesday morning fantasy scores were final, even if the NFL decided to make a scoring change later in the week.  Also, check your rules for who the official score for your league is (nfl.com or espn.com).  If I were commish of your league, I wouldn't care if you sent me the tivo of the catch, I go by the official score as reported on nfl.com, unless three other sources show nfl.com to be in error.

Well, the points are really meaningless.  They're meant for fun.  Does it really matter if you have points deducted?

I can't speak to the comparison between the two because I have no idea what rugby is like.  Essentially...  The team with the ball has four chances (called "downs") to advance the ball ten yards.  If successful, they get four new downs to advance the ball another ten yards, and they try to keep going, ten yards at a time, until they reach the end zone (this is a "touchdown," which is worth six points plus a chance for one more if they kick a short field goal).  Probably 95-99 times out of 100 if the team hasn't advanced the ball ten yards after third down, they'll use fourth down to either punt it to the other team or attempt to kick a field goal (for three points).  Football is far too complex to fully explain here (check that wikipedia link that the other person left), but those are the most basic of the basics for the new football-watcher.

It's similar to American football. That's because American football developed from Rugby.\n\nThe main and most obvious differences are:\n\n- You can only throw the ball backwards\n\n- You don't wear padding or helmets\n\n- It isn't broken up into plays or downs, play continues after a tackle non-stop\n\n- The endzone is called the In-goal area. \n\n- 5 points for a try (like a touchdown), 2 points for a conversion (like an extra point kick), 3 points for a drop goal (like a field goal)\n\nThat's rugby UNION. Rugbly LEAGUE is different in it's points system (4 for a try, 2 for a conversion, 1 for a field goal), and it has a "set" of 6 tackles that are like gridion 'downs'.

It's a performance reward. For having a stellar game. Sort of how some contracts for players give them extra money for reaching milestones in the season.\n\nYou get all the standard points - plus the bonus - so it would be 21 + 5 for 26 (as long as you don't have fractional points on.)\n\nYour right though - I couldn't find anything in the help section either. Though, since I work on the team, I know this answer is correct. I'll try and get the help pages updated too.

a dude has a toy(the ball)\nanother dude wants it,so he jumps on the first dude and takes it from him.\nnow the first dude's buddies don't like that at all so they try lay a smackdown on the guy who took the ball,now his buddies come to his defense and we all jump on each other and have a great deal of fun kicking punching and rubbing each others faces in the ground.\nsometimes you accedentaly smack your own teamate in the scrum but never fear,he will return the favor soon.\n\nthere are rules but I never learned them,why complicate a perfect game??!\nlol!\nthat's why I never made the team!!

Okay, I asked what you specifically wanted to know about in Rugby, and you mentioned scrums and scoring points.\n\nScrums are used to restart play after the ball is not in play but is not because a penalty, out-of-bounds, or score. This is for accidental things such as a knock-on or forward pass. A scrum can be chosen on more serious infractions if it helps the team.\nThe other team gets to put the ball into the scrum on a re-do if the original scrum is turned 90 degrees.\nPoints can be scored in multiple ways:\n* Penalty kick - when a penalty is awarded a team, the kicker has the option of "kicking for goal". This is worth 3 points\n* A drop goal - when you kick the ball through the goal posts while the ball is in play. Worth 3 points\n* A try - when you touch the ball down to the ground in the goal area - worth 5 points\n* A conversion - you get one chance to kick the ball through the goal posts after a try, and a successful attempt brings you 2 points

It doesn't "mean" anything.  It's part of the QB cadence.  The offense starts the play on a certain count, say 3, after the QB yells hut 3 times.  That's a crude explanation, but it's accurate.  It ensures the offense moves at the same time.  If the offense moves at different times it will get false start penalties on every single play.

What does this have to do with football?

Here is a simplified definition of American football.\n\nThe object of football is to score as many points as you can.  The team on offense, tries to score the points by getting the ball into the endzone.  They do this by either throwing or handing the ball to a player on their team.  The offensive player with the ball tries to run into the endzone for the score.  The defense tries to prevent this from happening by tackling the offensive ball carrier.  \n\nEach time the offense gets the ball into the endzone, they get 6 points.  After this score, a touchdown, a kicker tries to make an extra point by kicking the ball through the goal posts.  If the offense cannot get the touchdown, or move the ball ten yards forward in 3 tries, on the 4th try they can try to have the kicker kick the ball through the goal posts for 3 points.  If they are too far away, they must punt the ball to the defense, who will become the offense.\n\nThere are 11 players on offense, and 11 on defense.  \n\n(This is my first post, so I don't know how good this will be, but I hope it helps.  I left out many of the more detailed and complicated rules to explain the basic gameplay.)

Why what's the catch? No offense but you got to wonder why anybody would give away so many points.

A strike is worth 10, plus your score with the next two bowls, unless the strike is from the very last bowl.\n\nFor example, one strike does not record a score.\n\n   1   2   3   4   5   6     7   8   9   10\n------------------------- -------------------\n|  X|   |   |   |   |   | |   |   |   |   | |\n------------------------- -------------------\n|   |   |   |   |   |   | |   |   |   |     |\n------------------------- -------------------\n\nTwo strikes in a row also do not record a score.\n\n   1   2   3   4   5   6     7   8   9   10\n------------------------- -------------------\n|  X|  X|   |   |   |   | |   |   |   |   | |\n------------------------- -------------------\n|   |   |   |   |   |   | |   |   |   |     |\n------------------------- -------------------\n\nIt is only when you have 3 consecutive strikes, a score of 30 goes into the frame of the first strike.
