American and Canadian football both descended from rugby and began in Canada as a game played between British soldiers garrisoned in Montreal. The soldiers played a series of games against students at McGill University. McGill played several games against Harvard in 1874 and a tradition was born. Despite their mutual origins, Canada and the American game developed differently and have substantially different rules and regulations.
The biggest difference between Canada and American football is the size of the field. In Canada, football fields 110 meters long and 65 meters wide. In America football fields are 100 meters long and 53 1 / 3 meters wide. The purpose of Canadian football posts are placed at the front, instead of the back of the end even more deeply into the Canadian zone of American football.
Canadian football teams have twelve players, contrary to America's eleven teams. Because the same number of players required by the melee in the two games, resulting in an extra field player on the Canadian teams. This means that the typical Canadian offensive setup has two slots instead of a tight back end and defense, two defensive half back and safety instead of two security units as is typical in the American game.
Another difference between the two sets is the number of reductions. Instead of four as in the American game, Canadian football has three. This results in a kick and pass oriented game because there is less available for reduction of short films running plays. KicKing The rules are slightly different with the kicker to restore and advance fixing certificates for its own kick. For this reason, kicking is much more integral part of Canadian football than Americans.
The biggest difference between the stairs in the two games is that there are no rules of fair catch Canadian football. In football, if a kick Returner think it will not be able to recover the ball after it May signal a fair catch and be free of contact. No player in Canadian soccer team with the exception of KicKing kicker behind him and all the players on the field can never be less than 5 meters of the ball unless it was hit by a opponent. Canadian football is a kick that goes to the end zone is a live ball, except to the success of the area.
There are other minor differences, as well as scoring, movement and time, but they are not as important as the differences observed.
