10. There are 5 ways of scoring points in Canadian Football. Name one. (it’s basically the same as American Football, but there is one extra scoring play that American Football doesn’t have.)

Actually, there are probably 6, but it didn't come up, so it doesn't matter.

Ways in American Football:

Touchdown 6pts
1pt conversion 1pt
2pt conversion 2ps
Field Goal 3pts
Safety 2pts

And the additional one in Canadian Football- Rouge, or single, worth 1pt.
