Like basketball, you gotta get the ball to your scoring zone, by running with it or throwing it to someone else. but the other team is allowed to tackle you to stop you. However, if they stop you, you don’t immediately lose the ball. You get 4 tries, and these reset if you are able to move the ball far enough (10 yards).
If you get the ball all the way to the end, you get 6 points, and then you get a chance to kick the ball in the field goal for another point. If you don’t think you can get it all the way to the end, you can just kick the ball in the field goal for 3 points. Those are the 3 most common types of scoring.
The ball is also commonly kicked on your last try instead of trying to run/throw it, if you are really far from your end, just to make it so the other team isn’t near their end when they get the ball.
