Any other weird rules? I know you only get 3 downs.

Scoring in Canadian football is the same as in the American game, except for a variation of the single point, also called the rouge or single. A single is scored when the ball enters the goal area after a punt or a missed field goal and is recovered by a defensive player who is downed in the goal area. A single is also scored when the ball enters the goal area after a punt or missed field goal and then goes out of bounds, or on a kickoff when the ball is touched by a member of the opposing team and then enters the goal area.

Essentially the offense has to get the ball out of endzone or 1 point is scored by the kicking team.

so if you miss a field goal, but it goes out the back of the endzone, do you get a point? What if you punt it into the endzone, but the receiving team doesn't touch it? Interesting stuff. I had no idea the one pointer existed until tonight.
