Crazy Canadian Football

[Sandolf]

A touchback in Canadian football costs a single point. So there is more incentive to run back kicks out of the endzone. In the event that this single point could decide the game... (and that is a huge endzone to get back to the goal line)... they generally punt the ball back out to have the receiving team punt it back in again. This scenario doesn't present itself very often. Dork Duval should have just made the FG in the first place.

A touchback on a missed field goal?

Yes... because in the CFL the goalpost is still on the goal line like it used to be in the NFL and not at the BACK of the endzone.

You have to watch the clip.

So, for a missed FG that goes out the back of the end zone you get 1 point?

Yes and on a punt as well. I am not absolutely sure about the kickoff though.
