CIF Announces Major Rule Change

1/10/2023

For Immediate Release: Champions Indoor Football announces rule changes in

extra points (PAT) for the 2023 season.

The Board of Directors voted to change rules regarding extra Points After

Touchdowns (PAT).

The rules will remain the same for a kick from the 2-yard line. If the kick is made

and successful, the team will be awarded one point. If the team runs or passes

and successfully gets into the goal area, they will be awarded 2 points. The team

is allowed to run or pass even if they set up the play for kicking.

RULE CHANGES/ADDITIONS: After scoring, a team may elect to go for a three.

point-play by having the ball placed at the 5-yard line. If they are successful

running or passing into goal area, they will be awarded three points.

Or, after scoring, a team may elect to go for a four-point-play. If they choose this

option, the ball will be placed on the 10-yard line and if successful running or

passing into the goal area they will be awarded four points.

The team must declare their intentions to the official for a three-point or four-

point attempt and once declared it cannot be changed. The officials will announce

their intent so the fans are aware of the decision.

The directors believe this will add an extra level of excitement to the game for the

fans.
