SECTION 1 – FIRST DOWNS

A first down must be recorded when yardsticks are directed to move forward
by officials during an order of downs or when an offensive play is completed with
an offensive move from scrimmage, or any time the acquire from scrimmage
made on the final phase of a half which could have led to an initial down having been
awarded had the time not been elapsed. But a first down will not be granted
when the team is first given possession through the kick, mistake, an
interception or penalty.

First downs won are subdivided to reveal the kind of game that is responsible for
the gain in the following manner: follows:

1. By Rushing signifies that the action that led to a second 1st down
   being granted was a rush play even though a different kind of play could
   have been responsible for the majority of the yardage that was awarded in this sequence of downs.
2. By passing – indicates that the action which resulted in a brand fresh 1st down
   being granted was a pass play regardless of the fact that a different style of play might
   have contributed to the bulk of the yards gained during that sequence of downs.
3. By Penalty means that the yardsticks were moved up
   result on the penalty applied.

SECTION 2 – TOTAL OFFENCE

1. Total offence is the sum of all net profits from the scrimmageand includes the following:
   1. Net yards in rushing games where the losses and gains are billed
      to individuals, Refer to Section 3.
   2. Net yards gained on passing plays. See Section 4.
   3. The loss of yardage is a part of the team record, but is not applicable to
      individual players. Refer to Section 5.
2. The total of scrimmage plays consists of all games in which teams put the
   ball into play through in a scrimmage. This includes plays which are canceled by penalty, and those that
   convert efforts.

SECTION 3 – RUSHING PLAYS

1. Each play that is scrimmaged has to be treated as an rushing play, excluding:
   1. A passing game as described in section 4
   2. A team loss game as outlined in Section 5 or
   3. A kick play explained in section 8.
2. Rushing yardage is determined from the scrimmage line until at
   where it is declared dead or recovered by opponents in the event
   of the ball being fumbled.
3. The total rushing is net. The rushing losses have to be recorded in order to
   account to calculate the figure. These losses are also considered when
   determining the records of rushing of players.
4. The person who is responsible for the responsibility for carrying is the one who takes the ball
   across the line of scrimmage or the one who is accountable for a fumble or
   the one who has possession, depending on the situation in the event that play stops
   behind the lines of the scrimmage.
5. All gains from lateral passes that originate or developed out of the rushing game
   are part of the rushing yardage. See Section 7.

SECTION 4 – FORWARD PASS PLAYS

1. Forward passing losses or gains are calculated starting from the line of scrimmage
   line until the point at which it is deemed dead, or recovered by the opposing team
   in the event of the ball being fumbled. The length of the pass as well as its running
   advance following completion are counted within the acquire. Any miles gained or
   lost during a successful pass are awarded to both the pass-maker and the receiver.
2. The player is accountable for every forward pass, no matter if completed
   or incomplete, excluding those in which there is an interfering penalty referred to as.
   It will also include all intercepted passes. Those passes ruled as intentionally
   grounded will be recorded under penalties, including the yardage lost.
3. If the player has begun a forward-threw motions while the ball
   moving ahead and it comes into contact with the ball loose, the action is going to
   be taken as an incomplete forward pass, unless the Referee determines that the
   play as an mistake.
4. The receiver will be credited by how many passes he has caught in addition to the
   total miles gained. When a pass is caught through two players, only the one
   making the catch will be awarded.
   EXAMPLE Team A is given the ball on the 30-yard line. The quarterback passes to A1 at the
   40-yard line. A1 moves the ball forward until A2 at the 43-yard line. The official
   will declare that the pass is complete on 43 and A2 is recognized as A2 will be credited with the
   catch.
5. The loss resulting from a forward pass which did not progress beyond the
   line of scrimmage a yardage penalty against the receiver and the passer.
6. A passer is not considered a player until the ball has been throw, therefore, when a player gets
   caught within the line of scrimmage, it’s either a loss for the player rushing in
   Section 3. or an individual loss in Section 5.
7. There isn’t a pass that can be that is completed with penalty. The recieve from an interference in
   a playing pass can be a violation against the opposing team. The player isn’t
   charged for an attempted pass try and is not being credited with a completion or the number of yards
   gained or the yards gained, nor the intended receiver is credited for a catch. Passing
   team is not credited with the first down it earned through penalty. The defensive
   team is penalized with a penalty. The time from the line
   to that penalty location can be recorded as Yards Loss Penalties.
8. It is essential to differentiate between forward passes in front of
   the the line of scrimmage as well as lateral passes that are behind the line of scrimmage.
   Since there is no distinction in the playing rules, other than the eligibility
   of an individual receiver. There is no decision by the referee, unless the pass is
   incomplete. If the referee declares the ball as incomplete, it was an forward pass. In the event that
   Referee has declared the ball to be a free ball the ball was an lateral.

SECTION 5 – TEAM LOSSES

This category is for yardage loss experienced by a team which aren’t counted
against the records of rushing by individuals, or against the team’s passing
or passes records during the game. These losses are, however taken into account when the calculation of
a teams’ total offense during the game and season.

Here are some an example of losses which fall to this category:

1. 1. A player is dropped back or flies out in the hope of throwing a pass
      but it is lost or thrown for an error, without gaining the pass back. If, however, on
      finding the receivers are covered the player makes an endeavor to move
      with the ball instead of taking a normal evasive steps or evasive action, any loss
      incurred is treated as a normal rush loss in accordance with Section 3. In the event
      of uncertainty, the rule is to treat as a team loss.
   2. Team A is on 3rd Down on their 20 and is playing in a punt formation. The potential
      kicker is able to catch the ball but then retreats to behind the own Goal Line to concede a
      safety touch. The 20-yard loss is charged to the player as the team
      Losses.
   3. Similar to the above scenario in which the center makes an unintentional snap, and the ball
      goes into the End Zone, where it is reclaimed by either team. The center will
      be penalized for a fumble. The 20-yard loss will be credited to the player
      under the team loss.
   4. The third-down kick can be blocked, and is recovered by either team that is 10 feet
      behind the line of the line of scrimmage. In this instance the kicker is penalized for fumbling
      and the loss of 10 yards is deemed to be a Team Loss.
   5. When a quarterback is willing to drop down to knee level and gives up yards
      in attempt to finish the clock and get the ball back, the yards lost are charged under the team’s
      Losses.

NOTE A quarterback sacks will be awarded in this scenario.

1. The team A plays a scrimmage at its own 25-yard line. Team A’s quarterback goes
   back to pass, but is sacked on the team A 20 prior to the ball is able to be released.
   
   Note that the Team The quarterback is penalized with an offense which is 5 yards.
2. Similar to (f). Team A quarterback throws away the ball as he tries
   to hand off the ball to the running back of Team A. The ball is eventually recovered by Team B, who are on the 20-yard line.NOTE The quarterback of Team A is penalized for fumbling the ball, fumble thrown away and a Team losing five yards.
3. Team A kicker is on the Team A 10 yard line to take the ball in
   centre. Instead of kick the ball, he retreats to Team A’s Team A End Zone to finish the clock and finally crosses the Dead Line conceding a safety.NOTE The team A kicker is accused of a Team Loss of 10 yards from the line of scrimmage, which is at the Goal Line. The additional distance that is retreated to the
   End Zone is ignored.

SECTION 6 – INTERCEPTION RETURNS

1. Run backs after interception of forward passes are determined starting from
   the moment of the interception until at which it is declared dead or
   recovered by opposing players in the the event of an fumble. The gains are, naturally in no way
   included within Yards gained Passing.
2. When an intercepted pass occurs in the goal Area and the receiver fails to be
   successful in leaving the Goal Area the player will be still credit
   with those yards that are returned to the point at which the ball has been declared dead.

SECTION 7 – LATERAL PASSES

1. A lateral pass will always be a crucial element of the game during which itoccurs. The only laterals that are recorded are those that occur:
   1. Once a forward pass has been completed,
   2. When the ball is over that line during the rushing play
   3. On return or run backs from kickoffs, punts, pass interceptions, and
      fumbles.
2. Handoffs, pitchouts and laterals that are not behind the line of the scrimmage
   are not captured.
3. Examples of how laterals can be documented:
   1. Player A receives the forward pass to gain the obtain in the 10 yard range, then the ball is lateralized
      to B, who is able to go for another five. A is recognized with the pass he caught as well as the 10 yard
      gained. B is not considered to have an actual catch but is awarded with 5 yards gained.
      The passer is credit with a successful passing and gained 15 yards.
   2. A is lateralized from the quarterback and then crosses into the line of play
      for an recieve that is 10 yards. He then laterals to B, who receives another five. The player
      A is accused of a carry and is credited with 10 yards gained from rushing. B isn’t
      charged with carrying, but is awarded with 5 miles.
      NOTE That the collect that B makes is only after he has reached the line at which the player
      made passing. In the Example 2. above, A made 10 yards before passing backward
      to B, who could only advance just one yard behind A The gain net collect
      would total nine yards, which is due to A. B is not charged
      with an unintentional loss of one yard.
   3. A receives a punt, and returns it to 10 yards, before lateralling to B A, which
      goes for five. A punt is charged as a return and is awarded the 10
      yards. B is not penalized for punt returns, but is awarded five yards.
4. Incomplete lateral passes are recorded as fumbles and yards that are lost will be
   charged on the person who alike to the opinion of a statistician was the one responsible
   for the deficiency of the pass subject to the provisions in Section 5.
5. The intercepted lateral passes are regarded as fumbles. The passer gets
   charged with an erroneous fumble.

SECTION 8 – KICKING PLAYS

1. Kicks that cross the line of the scrimmage
   1. Punts are scored starting from the scrimmage line until the point at which
      the ball gets retrieved by a player. It then goes out of Bounds or is otherwise declared
      dead.
   2. In the event that the ball gets kicked across the Goal Line, the distance to the Goal
      Area will be counted as part of the distance punted.
   3. If the receiver catches the ball, but remains in the air it is the
      point of recuperation will be the length from the kick.
   4. If the receiver is unable to gain yards when trying to return on a kick, the
      loss is billed as an expense on punt returns. See Section 10. In the event that
      the force of the kick pushes the receiver to go backwards, that yards
      lost by this method is added onto the duration of the kick. In the event
      where a receiver gives up an error by reversing the line the
      kick is measured at the point that possession was taken for the receiver.
   5. If the receiver kicks the ball back towards the opponents, it could
      count as punts and be measured from the spot of the kick. This doesn’t
      apply to balls that are dribbled which are covered as described in Section 11 on the fumble.
   6. If the kicker is able to recover his the kick he or an side player from
      that team is able to take the initiative the kick will be recorded as a punt, and the yardage will be measured
      to at the time of the recovery. Yards gained after recovering will
      be kept in separate categories under the heading of Own Punts Recovered.
   7. A field goal attempt that does not score is punt that will be
      subject to section. To record individual records however misses on fields
      goal efforts are not recorded as normal punts.
   8. Punts blocked partially that over the line of scrimmage are considered
      as normal punts.
   9. A punt attempt that fails, for whatever reason, to get over the line of the scrimmage
      will never be recorded as a kick because it may still develop into an rush
      or pass play. Refer to section 8(b).
   10. Distances of field goals that are successful are noted in the scoring summary.
2. If a kick is not crossed the scrimmage line:
   1. If a player should endeavor an endeavor to kick in scrimmage but the ball does not
      cross that line is not considered punt, but it will be treated
      the the same thing as alateral play in the scrimmage line. If the ball is legally
      recovered from a person on the other side of the kicker’s the outcome of the incident
      will decide how the play should be recorded. That is in the event that a forward-facing throw that is
      thrown it will be considered the type of play that is considered to be a passing one; if not it will be regarded as an rush play.
   2. If the defense side recovers the ball from the opposing side the kicker is accused of an
      fumble which was lost. The yards that are lost up to the end of the scrimmage up to where the line of scrimmage is at
      recovery is charged as a team loss.
   3. If an attempted block is returned by the team that kicked it, the player is
      charged with the penalty of a faux. The circumstances following recovery will determine if the
      play will be recorded as a rushing game or a passing play, or a team Loss play.
   4. If the blocked kick is reclaimed by a player who is defending and the kicker
      will be penalized for a fumble that was lost. The yards that are lost from the scrimmage line
      to at the time of recovering will be billed as a team loss under Section 5.
      Yards gained by the blocking team following recovery are recorded as
      Fumble Returns, see Section 11.
   5. Name of defense player who blocks the kick should be noted
      in the area included on the statistics report forms. The kick type
      endeavor blocked must also be noted (punt converted, punt or field goal).

SECTION 9 – KICKOFFS

1. Kickoffs are recorded from the line of kickoff to at the moment of recovering. If
   kicked beyond the deadline or kicked out of Bounds in the Goal Area and not
   touched from any of the players this yardage is recorded the same way as
   a kickoff into the End Zone. If a player is kicked out of Bounds within the playing field, it is the
   receiving team is given an feature to take the ball at that time or taking it
   on the 45 yard line, or repeating the kickoff. If the team that is receiving it chooses
   to accept the ball from the spot it left Bounds the kickoff will have been recorded
   to the point where it occurred and the team kicking it will be was penalized and the penalty was subsequently withdrawn. In the event that
   the ball was handed over to the team receiving it at the 45-yard line and it will be recorded as a distance
   difference from that line to the spot where the kickoff left
   Bounds can be counted as penalty for the team that kicked. Should the ball kickoff
   has to be repeated, the team kicking will be penalized with the fine of 5
   yards.
2. The same rules for statistical purpose apply to kickoffs, just as they are applicable for
   punts.

SECTION 10 – KICK RETURNS

1. Kick returns are logged in three distinct categories.
   1. Returns on punts
   2. Returns from missed field goal attempts
   3. Kickoff returns.
2. Kick returns are calculated from the moment the receiver takes
   possession of the ball until the point when it is declared dead, loses possession
   by the fumble or returned. If the receiver fails to score yards in a kick return upon
   gaining control, these losses will be credited against the yardage of the kick return.
3. If a penalty is imposed in a kick return to punish an offense like the clipping
   or unlawful interference, the return is determined by the spot where
   which punishment was put in place.
4. A player will not be penalized by a kick back penalty for giving up one
   point without making an effort to move the ball forward or in the event of a penalty being applied starting from
   the moment of gaining control of the ball like an no yard penalty.
5. Returns from failed field goal attempts must treat in the identical
   manner like punt return as they are the same under rules of play, but
   are not recorded in a different manner from punt returns.

SECTION 11 – FUMBLES

1. If a play is terminated due to an intentional fumble, yardage gained, or the yards lost are transferred to thepoint of recovery are credited or charged to the player who fumbled, regardlessof which team recovers the ball. EXAMPLES:
   1. The ball is carried by the player A up to five feet, but is attacked and fumbles.
      The ball goes ahead for another three yards before being taken by the opponent.
      A is credited with an eight-yard get and is charged with a lost fumble.
   2. Similar play, but the ball travels forward three yards before being taken back in the hands of
      a player from A’s team. A is considered to be two yards acquire and is charged with the
      fumble that was recovered.
2. A player should generally not be penalized for an offence if the player
   recovers his own fumble. But, if it’s an unintentional fumble, and opponents
   have the opportunity to retrieve it, then a fumble ought to be assessed.
3. The mere act of touching the ball isn’t necessarily possession. If you are in
   the greased-pig kind of scrambling to catch a lost ball, credit the initial
   player to the forfumble, and then credit the eventual return on the side that
   winds into the ball. Don’t pay attention to any touching that happens between.
4. A player who throws an object out of Bounds will be accused of an
   fumble as well as an individual teammates fumble.
5. Yards that a player gains due to the recovery of an opponent’s fumble
   will remain a part of the game that gave the cause for the fumble. They will be treated
   in the same way as an recieve following a lateral pass (see Section 7. However the
   player recovering the fumble will also be recognized under own Fumbles Rectified
   on the stats report form.
6. Yards earned by a player in the wake to the return of an opponent Fumble
   is included in Fumble Returns. See Section 12.
7. When a player throws the ball, it is taken back by a player fromthe same team, the continuing action shall be regarded as part of the sameplay leading up to the fumble. EXAMPLES:
   1. 1. Team A running back carries his ball 10 miles, then fumbles and gets
         recovered by an team A lineman, who is able to carry the ball for an more seven
         yards until the game is ended.
         NOTE that this was a 17-yard rushing game. The running back is credited for
         one carry of 10 yards. The lineman does not have to be penalized for a carry, however, they are
         given credits for the seven yards of rushing.
      2. The ball is in the hands of Team A on the team B’s 30 yard line. The quarterback of Team A
         throws an interception to the team A receiver who then carries the ball to Team B’s Five
         yard line, and then is able to fumble. The ball then travels to the Team B End Zone where
         it is hit by the team A player.

   NOTE Team A quarterback is awarded an completed TD pass that lasted the distance of 30
   yards. The receiver is also credited with the catch of 30 yards, but not a TD. The team
   A teammate who retrieved the ball is given credit for the TD receiving, but without
   catch of yards.

8. Team A kicks off at Team B during the third down. The team B player is credited with returning
   the ball 10 yards later, but fumbles before the ball gets picked up by a different team B
   player and takes it and carries it for an more 15 miles.
   NOTE that the team B returns the punt 25 yards. The first team B player is awarded
   with the return as well as 10 yards. Another Team B player is not recognized
   with an extra yard, but is given 15 yards.

1. This section is concerned with the return and recovery of fumbles made by oppositionincluding these situations:
   1. Yards gained upon the recovering a punt that was blocked or a Field goal try.
   2. Yards gained after an intercept on an crossing pass.
2. Fumble returns are analyzed starting from the point of recovery until the point at which
   the the play ceases or the possession is lost due to the following fumble.
3. A loose ball dribbling downfield could be an fumble.

SECTION 13 – PENALTIES

1. Five points are recorded with regards to penalties:
   1. Times Penalized,

   each other and numerous penalties imposed against one team in a single game.
3. Yards Penalized are determined from the point of penalty until the point
   where the ball is put back into the game.
4. See Section 1 for information on first downs resulting from penalties.
5. Gains Forfeited By Penalty are the gains in yardage that are typically
   be not recorded by an offender during offensive plays from scrimmage and are
   been eliminated by the use of penalties. Gains Forfeited By Penalty do not
   occur on special team games or during defense-related return play
   (i.e. interception returns, fumble returns).

SECTION 14 – SCORING PLAYS

1. An scoring touchdown (six points) is credited to the player who scored the touchdown. Yardage
   gained during an scrimmage or returned punt kickoff or interception
   or the fumble that resulted in a score will get recorded under the correct
   category.
2. A Point Convert or Convert Following Touchdown will be credit to the player who completedthe play. It may be scored in three ways:
   1. When you kick the field goal and the player is awarded

      for the two point. The passing try and yards accumulated are included in
      game sums of passing, as well as within the personal records for both the receiver and passer.
   3. By transferring the ball over into the Goal Line. The player is
      credited by two points in addition to with the yards he gained from in rushing.
   4. A defensive player could get a two-point convert after legally getting
      possession of the ball and moving it over the goal line of his opponent. The

a QB sack to be given.

NOTE In case of (iii) as described above the Team B player should also be awarded
with an attempted fumble.

Note – Yards lost for Team A under any of these scenarios will be
charged to Team A under Team Losses. The yards lost must be given
to players on Team B as part of Quarterback Sacks within the defensive statistics section.

4. The quarterback is trying a quick yardage sneak play but does not
   reach beyond the scrimmage line
5. The quarterback can end the game by lowering down
   on only one knee. In this situation you should not record the play as a rushing loss. Instead you should make your
   play as an overall loss.
6. The quarterback will be called for intentional grounding. In this situation, you can you will be penalized
   a penalty of the amount of zero (0) yards, and the amount of yardage that is lost to The team

SECTION 17 – DRIBBLED BALL

A dribbled ball happens when a ball is kicked when it’s not inside the reach of or
control of the participant, i.e. the ball is thrown away following an fumble, blocked kick or an uncontrolled
kickoff or the kick of scrimmage. The ball that is dribbled could legally touched
or returned by the kicker or by an onside player.

Net yards lost or gained, or points earned can be recorded using the exact method
as the incident during which the dribbling took place.

SECTION 18 – TACKLES
