Its 3 down football - so lots of passing and kicking .. lots of action. But the most hilarious rule is that a missed field goal is worth 1 point... unless the ball is kept from going out of bounds...&nbsp; it can then be run out of the endzone.. saving the point. but in desperate situations (tie game, last kick of the game for the win) ..it can be kicked OUT of the endzone. Then hilarity ensues... worth a watch.. its quick...</p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]d5BFaykcxGg[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
