The team scoring a field goal or touchdown is normally required to kick off to the opponent regardless of the results of the try. In high school the team sored upon can choose to kick off but in 35 years of officiating I have never seen this happen.
In High School, the minute a try is kicked, it is dead, regardless if the kick succeeds, misses, or is blocked behind the line. If there is a fumble on a two point conversion and the defense takes possession, the ball is dead and the try has failed. In the NCAA/NFL, if a PAT is blocked behind the line and possessed, or a two point conversion is turned over (interception or fumbled) and returned into the end zone it adds two points to the defense's score.
It doesn't matter that it is a blocked extra point or an interception or a fumble recovery, if either team scores by possessing the ball in their end zone, it is a 'two-point conversion.'
If a team attempts a two point conversion after scoring a touchdown and the ball is fumbled and recovered by the defense or if a pass is intercepted by the defense who then run the ball back to the other end zone the defense team will be credited with the two points. This is called a defensive conversion. Note that this rule only applies in college football. In the NFL, the defense can't score on a point-after attempt.
Offense is going for a 2 point conversion and fumbles the ball, defense picks it up and runs the ball to the other end zone. Defense scores 2 pts on a conversionl. HAPPENED YESTERDAY 11/29/2008
In NFL ball is dead. In NCAA live ball: On a one-point try attempt, Team A's kick is blocked. The ball is advanced by runner B1 across Team A's goal line. RULING: Award Team B two points (Rule 8-3-1).
Yes. A missed field goal that hits the ground results in no points and the opposing team taking possession at the spot of the kick (not the original line of scrimmage). If the opposing team catches the ball and returns it, the recovering team would instead get the ball at the point where the return ends. It is possible to return the missed FG for a touchdown.
Not in the NFL. Once the offense loses control of the ball -- with an incomplete pass, interception, or tackle -- the play is dead. In college and Canadian football, however, the defense can return the ball and score a 2-point defensive conversion.
You can get as many tries as you want as long as you don't attempt to hit the ball. If you attempt to hit the ball then you get two tries (faults) before the other player wins the point.

Sort of. When a team attempts a fair catch kick, the defense has to line up 10 yards away, and they can't attempt to rush the kicker. Once the ball is in the air, the defense could try to block it, but without a running start, that would be almost impossible to achieve.
Recieving the ball is when your opponents team has the ball. Recieving is when you want to have a strong defense plan so you can get ball from the other team when they hit it over without them getting a point. Offense= when your team has the ball and you're setting up for an attack. Defense= when your opponents team has the ball and they're setting up for an attack
You can use the ball as defense in the sport of dodgeball.
