Arena Football is played in 4-15 minute quarters. If the game ends in a tie, the
game stands as a tie.
After a touchdown, one can opt for a 2-point conversion instead of an extra point try.
In AF, a 10-yard run or pass into the end zone or a dropkicked FG counts for 2 points.
The nets are what sets AF apart from conventional football. The next are set upon yellow
iron structures 8 feet off the ground in each end zone. These nets are on either side of the
goal posts, and if the ball bounces off them, the ball IS in play.
