		In Canadian football, a single or single point is scored when the ball is kicked into the end zone by any legal means, other than a successful field goal, and the receiving team does not return the ball out of the end zone.
		However, Canadian football was always intended to be a game where field position was the key to success; thus the single reflects the defending team's inability to return to a position outside of their own end zone, something which in American football they would be given for free.

		The rules for modern-day football date back to a formal beginning in 1876, when the NCAA, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, drew up their set of 61 rules governing how this game (which itself resulted from soccer and rugby players breaking the rules of their respective games) would be played.

		This is in keeping with Canadian football's larger field size, where more players are needed to cover the extra space.

		The goal posts in Canadian football are placed at the front, rather than the back of the end zone which is also deeper in Canadian football than American.
		This means that the typical Canadian offensive setup has two slot backs instead of a tight end and on defense, two defensive halfbacks and one safety instead of two safeties as is typical in the American game.
		In Canadian football no player on the kicking team except the kicker and any players behind him on the field may ever be within 5 yards of the ball unless it has been touched by an opponent.
