Arucian football, also known as just football, is a contact sport played between two teams of 11 players on a rectangular grass pitch. The objective of the sport is to score by catching the ball close to the opposing team's goals, or kicking the ball into it, which scores 4 points. There also three other methods to score, which all score 1 point.
During general play, players may position themselves anywhere on the field and use any part of their bodies to move the ball. Kicking and passing the ball are the primary method. The catch is the main method of scoring due to the relatively high risk of earning a lower score when attempting a goal. The rules limit how the ball can be handled during play; for example, players cannot run with the ball or pick the ball off the ground. A distinctive feature of the game is the set, when a player grounds the ball anywhere on the field is awarded unimpeded possession. Outside of sets, tries, and penalty kicks, possession of the ball is in dispute at all times. Players can tackle using their hands or use their whole body to obstruct opponents. The game features strategic use of tries and sets, fast paced gameplay, and high scoring.
