rouge” (also called a “single” or “single point”)
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
How it works:
If a team misses a field goal attempt or punts the ball, and the receiving team doesn’t manage to get the ball out of their end zone (either by running it out or kicking it out), the kicking team earns a rouge.
Origin of the term:
The term “rouge” is French for “red,” and the origin of its use in Canadian football is unclear, but it’s likely inherited from the English rugby term.
Canadian football uniqueness:
This rule is unique to Canadian football and is not part of the rules in American football (NFL).
Examples:
A missed field goal attempt that results in the ball being kicked into the end zone and not returned is a rouge.
A punt that is kicked into the end zone and not returned is a rouge.
Scoring:
A rouge is worth one point for the kicking team.
