sc49erfan15 Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I got to wondering earlier today...Do high schools and/or colleges in Canada play American-style football? If so, do they use CFL-style rules (3 downs, endzones you could land a 747 in, etc), NFL-style rules (the normal ones), or a combination of both?

habsfannova Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 What makes the NFL rules automatically the "normal" ones? Anyway, usually here they play by Canadian rules, not with San Fransisco parking spot endzones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 They are played by Canadian rules, field and all. Of course some fields are played on athletic tracks, so you have a chopped off corners like Edmonton, Hamilton and Montreal. But some high schools have both they own field and and athletic track. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Simon Fraser U, in BC used to play against American colleges, but just switched not long ago to play the Canadian game-against Canadian Universities...And as kids when we played on our own--it was CFL style too...

Notch Novelty Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I know in Fort Erie they use American rules and american ball in High School - I actually asked this question to someone in FE. Than he started saying how he hates the CFL and asked how the Bills were going to do. Very Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show you there are stupid people everywhere.I remember hearing about them playing American rules in BC high schools... anyway, as far as I know, everyone now plays the normal way.
