Posted May 27, 201411 yr comment_52283 This is super interesting. For all the crap we give to football officials, you've gotta respect the level of book learning an official has to have in the CFL. http://www.cfl.ca/article/test-time-take-the-2014-cfl-rules-exam I got 5/10.
May 28, 201411 yr comment_52289 There must be some sort of twisted wording on Question 6 that I am not seeing, because a penalty in goal IS a safety. They said False in the answer.
May 28, 201411 yr comment_52295 There must be some sort of twisted wording on Question 6 that I am not seeing, because a penalty in goal IS a safety. They said False in the answer.That's a NFL rule. The CFL rule says: Article 3 – Safety Touch A safety touch is scored when the ball becomes dead in the possession of a team in its own Goal Area, or touches or crosses the Dead Line or a Sideline in Goal as a result of the ball having been carried, kicked, fumbled or otherwise directed from the Field of Play into the Goal Area by the team scored against, or as a direct result of a kick from scrimmage having been blocked in the Field of Play or Goal Area. After a safety touch, the options to the scoring team are to: (a) Scrimmage at their own 35-yard line, (b ) kickoff from their own 35-yard line or, (c ) Accept a kickoff from the 25-yard line of the team who conceded the safety touch. If while in the act of conceding a safety touch, a team deliberately, in the judgment of the official, commits a Holding infraction, the score shall count and the penalty applied at the point where the ball is next put into play. When a Rough Play or Unnecessary Roughness foul is committed on a play during which a safety touch is scored by the non-offending team, the score shall be allowed and the penalty assessed from the point where the ball is next put in play.
May 28, 201411 yr comment_52310 I refused to participate after I noticed that the majority of questions were obviously making fun of Canadians in a highly inflammatory fashion. Like i know it's my team eh, you don't have to keep mentioning it in almost every question eh?
May 28, 201411 yr comment_52311 9/10. Got number one wrong. Thought they took out cut blocks outside of the box and away from the line of scrimmage for the coming season. There's pretty much one seemingly minor detail in every question you have to pick out, and if you do it is very straightforward.

Yeah I misinterpreted one of the other rules by not fully reading it. I am an idiot.
