A field goal is worth 3 points. Drop-kicked field goals are worth 6 points. To score a field goal, two defensive players create the shape of an "H" and then each post steps two paces away from each other. These players are the goalposts.
On any field goal attempt the ball must be hiked from center at the line of scrimmage and must be kicked from the ground, either via a holder or via a drop-kick.
No rushing is allowed against a field goal attempt and no fake field goals are allowed. The play is off the clock. The ball cannot be advanced by either team, even if blocked or short. The ball can be held (or dropped-kicked) from anywhere behind the line the scrimmage.
Time keeping notes: The clock automatically stops for a field goal attempt, however there will be an automatic ten second run-off after the attempt.
On drop-kick attempts, the defense may attempt to block the kick but only from their side of the line of scrimmage.
