In Canadian football, teams are allowed a maximum of 12 players on the field. The positions of the players are the same as in American football, with the exeption of an additional player in the backfield. There is also unlimited motion in the backfield behind the line of scrimmage prior to the snap of the ball. All backfielders are eligible receivers, and it is not unusual to see all receivers (other than the ends) in forward motion prior to the snap on a passing play.

The length of the football defines the width of the neutral zone. When the referee places the ball on the ground, no player on either team (except the center on offense) may may line up with any part of their body inside the neutral zone. The neutral zone extends the entire width of the playing field.

A place kick occurs during a convert or field goal attempt, when the ball holder places the ball on the ground for the kicker to kick it through the uprights. It is done exactly the same way in Canada as in the USA. Occasionally it also occurs on a windy day when another player has to hold the ball steady on the tee during a kickoff so it doesn't blow off the tee when the kicker is trying to kick it. The only difference would appear to be in the terminology.

Same as the Major League Baseball...9.

----------

In t-ball or Dad's Pitch, you will sometimes see 10 players. I don't know if that's a local league ground rule or an option that Little League Baseball allows.

In Canadian football, the point scoring is the same as in American football: touchdown (6), convert (1 or 2), field goal (3), and safety (2).

In addition to the above, there is one more way to score. A single point is awarded to the kicking or punting team if the receiving team is unable to run a kickoff, punt or missed field goal attempt out of its end zone.

Neither a "fair catch" nor a "touchback" exist in Canadian football. A punting team is not permitted to "down" the ball. No member of the punting team may touch the ball, or even be within 5 yards of the punt receiver when the receiver first touches the ball. Otherwise, the punting team is penalized for "no yards."

(The "no yards" penalty does not apply to the punter himself, or any other player who is "onside" at the time of the punt.)

The "no yards" rule can result in some wild plays on a very windy day, both for the kicking team (kicking into the wind and trying to recover an onside kick) and for the receiving team (trying to draw the kicking team into the 5 yard restraining zone for a "no yards" penalty).

There is one way unique to Canadian football that a receiving team can avoid giving up a single point. It is a "desperation" measure and usually happens only during the dying seconds of a game, either when the score is tied, or the team in possession of the ball is behind by a single point.

The team in possession would have to be in a position on the field where it is reasonable to attempt to punt the ball into (or beyond) the end zone (which in Canada is 20 yards deep) for a single point. (If the punt goes beyond the end zone, the punting team would be awarded a single point.)

The punt receiving team has the option of trying to run the ball out of its end zone or punting it out. The receiving team is allowed to punt the ball back out of its end zone, thus preventing the punting team from being awarded the single point. By punting the ball back out of the end zone, however, the receiving team gives up posession of the ball.

The receiving team places its 2 or 3 best punters in its own end zone as the punt receivers. The team in possession punts the ball into the opponent's end zone. This is when things start to get crazy.

If time has now expired, the receiving team, if unlikely to be able to run the ball out of its own end zone, would try to angle a punt out of bounds in the field of play. Doing so runs out the clock. It also prevents the original punting team from receiving the return punt and being able to punt the ball once more, back into the original receiving team's end zone.

If more than just a few seconds are remaining on the clock, however, there might be enough time left for the original punting team to line up for one more punt, or even a field goal attempt. Therefore, with time remaining, the receiving team, if unlikely to be able to run the ball out of its own end zone, will try to punt it as far as possible back upfield.

This is where it gets really crazy. The original punting team has also placed its 2 or 3 best punters on the field. It knows that the original receiving team's strategy is to punt the ball out of its own end zone. The original punting team wants to field the ball and punt it back into the opposing end zone for the single point.

Of course, the original receiving team knows the original punting team's strategy too. There's no secrecy about the play. It all boils down to a matter of execution.

The original receiving team (now punting team) wants to obstruct the original punting team's now punt receiver (and soon to be punter) so he can't get off another punt, or else they want to block the punt or tackle the punt receiver so he can't run the ball into the end zone for a touchdown.

By now, there are members of each team all over the field and the operative words are "total chaos."

This situation once resulted in four punts on one play, and has many times been an exciting (and often controversial) finish to a close game.

In one playoff game back in the sixties, after a ball had been punted into the end zone, out of the end zone, and then back into the end zone, the punt receiver ran the length of the field from deep in his own end zone for a touchdown.

As far as the professional game is concerned, there can be a maximum of 45 players dressed for a National Football League game. Of these players 11 start on the offensive side and 11 start on the defensive side. In today's game, no player starts on both offense and defense. So that would leave 23 players on the team that do not start. Two of those players are the punter and placekicker. That leaves 21 players and of those players the breakdown of offense to defense is usually very close. So, of the 45 players that dress for a game, it would be safe to say that 21-22 of them are offensive players and 21-22 of them are defensive players.

You can only get drafted if you're in Canadian collages or if you're Canadian, American usually try their lock with the NFL first so it's kind of pointless for the cfl teams to draft Americans, if the NFL draft doesn't work out they sign through free agency to the cfl.

7 officials and 22 players, 11 from each team

Each team has to have 11 players, and there are from 3 to 8 officials (5 in most high school games, 5 or 6 in many college games, 7 in professional, 8 in Division 1 college).

There is no way to answer this question, because most amateur players are not registered with any facility or team, so they would not be "counted", anywhere. Even if they were registered, not all clubs would reveal such numbers, in order to protect their members from potential privacy issues. The numbers of USTA and similar nationally recognized tennis associations around the world would tend to change from year to year, so that would not help, even if it were possible to track it down. One also cannot tell how by the number of tennis racquets and/or balls purchases, as many people own more than one racquet, buy more than one can of tennis balls, or share them with others, or continue to use old tennis balls.

Each team is allowed to have twelve players on the field at any one time (one more per side than in American football) and, technically speaking, all twelve are allowed to rush the quarterback. But I have never seen that happen.

In the CFL rulebook, Eligible recievers can be numbers 0-39 and 70-99, and ineligible recievers are 40-69. So all linemen are 40-69.

six teams make the playoffs. The top team in the east and west division get a by to the west or east final.

Yes. The 1962 Grey Cup game was played on a Saturday, and it was stopped because of fog. They resumed the game the following day.

If the ball fails to pass the line of scrimmage, it is penalized as Intentional Grounding. The player who hit the quarterback is still awarded the sack.

19 players and up to three quarterbacks.

The box outside each end zone is actually a marking for a soccer field. (18 yard Box). generally it is a multi-purpose field.
