when you complete a series of downs to start another,for example,if it is 3rd down and 3 yards and you get it it is an conversion.

A conversion can also mean a point after touchdown or a two point conversion after a touchdown.

Conversion Goal. When a player scores a try it gives the player's team the right to attempt to score a goal by taking a kick at goal; this also applies to a penalty

try. This kick is a conversion kick: a conversion kick can be a place kick or a drop kick.

The ball is placed in line with the scoring area, in the opposing 22 meter area.

The kicker must use the ball that was in play unless it is defective.

A placer may be used this is a teammate who holds the ball for the kicker to kick.

The kicker may place the ball directly on the ground or on sand, sawdust or a kicking tee approved by the Union.

Once placed the kicker has no more than one minute to take the kick. If they exceed this the referee can award a no goal as a sanction.

If the ball is placed on ground for kicking and falls over BEFORE the kicker starts their run up they must ask permission to approach and reset. Failure to do so will result in the kick being classed as attempted. If the ball falls when the player is taking their run up they may pick up the ball and then use the "drop kick" process to convert the try.

When one of the sides scores a try - touches the ball down over the other teams goal-line, they score 5 points in Rugby Union, and 4 points in Rugby League. In union they are also awarded a free kick, which, if their kicker can put the ball between the uprights, and over the crossbar, 'converts' the try to a goal, gaining an extra two points.

The kick must be taken at least ten metres from the goal-line and in a straight line from the point where the try was scored.

The word "conversion" is sometimes wrongly used of a successful penalty - a kick at goal awarded as a result of some infringement by the other side. Such a kick gains 3 points in Rugby Union and 2 points in Rugby League.

In rugby union, any player who is currently on the field can take the conversion. Frequently it is the Full-back.
