A football game has two 30 minute periods. The break between the two periods is called half-time. During the Grey Cup there is usually a big half-time show.
The Field • White lines are drawn across the field every 5 yards (4.6 m) from the goal line (these are called “yard lines”) • The offence must move the ball at least 10 yards towards the opponents’ goal line in three downs (tries) or the ball goes to the other team.
In football a goal is called a touchdown and is worth 6 points. • Field goals are worth 3 points, and safeties are worth 2 points.
