At the beginning, one team kicks the ball to the opposing team and they get 4 chances to earn 10 yards, after 10 yards, they get 4 more chances to earn 10 yards. The object is to get the ball preferably to the endzone (6 points) or they can kick a fieldgoal (3 points). After Team A scores points, they must kick the ball off to Team B who gets to try and score. Two other ways to score points are a Point After Touchdown (PAT) which is a field goal from 3 yards away (1 point) or they can run/pass the ball into the endzone again, which is much harder than the field goal, so they would earn 2 points for this maneuver, hence the name "Two-Point Conversion." One other way besides PATs is to get a Safety, which means if Team A were on defense, and Team B was on offense, Team A would have to push Team B all the way back to Team A's endzone, aka the endzone Team B is defending. If a player who possesses the ball on Team B is tackled inside their endzone, then Team A would receive 2 points AND Team B would have to punt the ball to Team A on top of that. Well that's the ways to score, but there is so so much more to it.<a href="http://www.businessbrokersguide.com/michigan-business-broker.htm"> Admiral Awesome</a> Basically, there are 11 people on each side.

If a player who possesses the ball on Team B is tackled inside their endzone, then Team A would receive 2 points AND Team B would have to punt the ball to Team A on top of that.
