-You can go for 1 or 2 extra points after a touchdown. 1 point from 5 yards out and 2 from 10 yards out.
-No contact! No tackling! No blocking at the line of scrimmage or down field after a catch. We've seen way to many people get hurt. All blocks will be penalized and the play will be down at the spot of the block.
