Questions came up last night at our high school game in Georgia. With 10 seconds left, we went for a field goal. It was good and we went ahead by 3. If we had missed the field goal on 2nd down, would we have had two more tries on third and fourth down?" If so where would they have spotted the ball? Another question about overtime? What is National Federation's overtime rule?
Thank you in advance for your replies. I am a baseball and softball official, and I do not know many of the football rules. |

No. Unless the kick is blocked and you recover it behind the neutral zone, you only get one shot at it.
OT - Each team has the ball for 4 downs, 1st and goal from the 10. Penalties can change the number of downs and yardage. The defense cannot advance the ball. If they recover it, the offensive team's series is over. Whoever has the most points at the end of the OT wins. If it's tied, we do it again. |

If the missed FG goes into the endzone, it is a touchback. Ball is spotted at the 20. If it does not reach the endzone, it is treated like a punt and the ball is spotted where it stops or at the end of a runback. It cannot be run out of the endzone.

Your little league game may have different rules for field goal plays. They like to make changes like that. |

Never seen it in a game, but I remember reading an SI article 15 years ago about a college team that was so bad at blocking that they switched from place kicking to drop kicking for extra points... That freed up the holder to block...
I remember that they had two guys that could drop kick, and each had a 50% success rate... I've also heard that arena league will give 2 points for a PAT done by drop kick, and 4 for a FG... |
