CFL Rules Trivia Questions

1. How wide is the CFL field, from sideline to sideline?

From Quiz Rules of the CFL

Answer: 65 yards

The field is 110 yards long by 65 yards wide, not including the end zones.

2. Which official is in charge of controlling the movement and placement of the yard sticks?

From Quiz Rules of the CFL

Answer: The Head Linesman

The seven on-field officials are the referee, umpire, back judge, field judge, side judge, line judge, and head linesman.

3. In the CFL and its 3rd and 10, the QB only throws for 5 yards. What happens?

From Quiz CFL Rules

Answer: Turnover on Downs

The CFL only has three downs. This makes the CFL much more exciting because teams need to pass on second down, so there is more long passing going on.

4. What is the penalty if a quarterback enters the game as a defensive player?

From Quiz Rules of the CFL

Answer: 25 yard penalty

The CFL seems to take a very large interest in protecting their quarterbacks. A quarterback is only allowed on the field if they are in a position to receive the snap.

5. What is it called when a player drops the ball to the ground, and then kicks it just after it bounces, potentially for a field goal?

From Quiz Rules of the CFL

Answer: Drop kick

Just like in rugby, if the ball goes through the uprights it counts as a field goal.

6. Inside the three minute warning of any half, which is the penalty for a time count violation?

From Quiz Rules of the CFL

Answer: Loss of down on first or second down, 10 yard penalty on third down

This rule is to prevent teams from killing the clock by taking time count penalties.

7. How many players are allowed on the game roster?

From Quiz Rules of the CFL

Answer: 39

Far fewer players are allowed on a CFL roster than an NFL roster.

8. As long as no special considerations have been made by the commissioner, what is the length of halftime break?

From Quiz Rules of the CFL

Answer: 14 minutes

It is possible for the commissioner to allow halftime to go longer than this, so that an event or special ceremony may take place.

9. During which War were there no Grey Cup games?

From Quiz Rules of the CFL

1916-1919 were the only years since 1909 in the 20th century, where there was no Grey Cup champion crowned.

From Quiz Rules of the CFL

The Grey Cup was donated in 1909 by His Excellency Lord Albert Henry Earl Grey, the Governor General of Canada.
