They don't give 3 points for a field goal. Basketball gives you three points when you make a basket at the three point line the three point line was added after the 1978/1979 season.

What is the Football scoring system?

Offensive Scoring: Touchdown - 6 points field goal - 3 points Two point conversion - 2 points Try (extra point) - 1 point Defensive Scoring: Touchdown - 6 points Safety - 2 points Try Safety (only if the ball is fumbled before kick) - 1 point There is also a little-known kick called a "drop-kick" that is worth two points. For this play the player drop-kicking the ball must line up in a standard shotgun formation behind center. The ball is snapped to the kicker and he must, from a standing position, drop the ball from his hands and kick it (like a punt - but without a running start) and it must pass through the uprights prior to hitting the ground. If it is successful, this is worth 2 points.

How do you get ranks on battlefield heroes?

You achieve ranks by scoring points. Once you reach level 10 you become a private. After dealing about 1600 damage points, you go up one rank. Besides the start at level 10, rank is not related to level. :D


What is an add out in volleyball?

Add out is a term that was used before in scoring meaning that the receiving team had to win the rally to get serve, then they could start scoring points. While the opposing team is serving, the receiving team is in add out. This method of scoring isn't used anymore in rec leagues, high school, or college volleyball. It changed simply because the games were taking entirely too long.
