Single (Canadian Football)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The single (also Rouge ) is a point win in Canadian Football . It is worth one point. It is achieved when the ball goes through a punt , kickoff or after a missed field goal into the opponent's end zone or, with the exception of the kickoff, flies through the end zone and is not carried or shot out of it. It is the only form of scoring that does not exist in the related sport of American football . There is no single in the wheelchair version of Canadian Football. After a single, the team against whom the point was scored begins their attack streak at their own 35-yard line.
