Rouge on punts? - 3/4/2006 10:36:10 PM

In the last game I played (Canadian rules), I had four instances of a punt being kicked into, and the receiver being tackled, in the endzone. The ball was brought out to the 35 for the scrimmage, but the kicking team was not given the single point. The manual specifically mentions the rouge only in the context of a field goal, so I'm assuming that this is expected behaviour.

Are there plans to add the rouge to punting plays as well?

I'm no expert on CFL rules, but I thought only Feildgoals and Kickoffs are where you can get a rouge. Can you get a rouge on Punts aswell?

A team can score a rouge on any kick that is not returned out of the endzone, except for kickoffs and converts.

From CFL.ca

quote:

Article 4: Single Point or Rouge

If the ball is kicked into the goal area by an opponent, a rouge is scored (1) when the ball becomes dead in possession of a team in its own goal area or (2) when the ball touches or crosses the deadline, or a side-line-in-goal, and touches the ground, a player, or some object beyond these lines.

AR Team A kicks to Team B. B1 attempting to catch the ball on Team B 3 yard line, fumbles it and is tackled with the ball in possession in the Team B goal area. Ruling - rouge (ball deemed to have been kicked into goal area by Team A).

AR Team A kicks to Team B. B1 catches the ball in the field of play while moving towards own goal line and, in the judgment of the official, the momentum carries B1 into own goal area. Ruling - possession deemed to have been gained in the goal area.
After a rouge the team scored against shall next put the ball into play by a scrimmage as first down at any point between the hash marks on its 35-yard line.

If the single point was scored as the result of an unsuccessful field goal attempt the team scored against may elect to scrimmage the ball at any point between the hash marks on its own 35 yard line or at the previous line of scrimmage.
Note: For the purposes of this Article a drop kick or place kick shall, without exception, be deemed to be a field goal attempt.

Note: If during a kickoff the kicked ball proceeds through the goal area and across the deadline or sideline in goal without being touched there shall be no score and the ball shall be awarded to the receiving team at any point between the hash marks on its own 25-yard line.
