To score the opposing team must get the ball into the end zone. Lines cover the field corresponding to the end zone. These go at 5-yard intervals. In additionally, every 1.9 yards, there are hash marks. After a play, the officials put the ball to the nearest hash mark. The play begins there. In each end zone there is a goal post. If a player kicks a ball through the goal post, it constitutes extra points.
