The Highland Realm uses the term "soccer" to describe what most nations refer to as "football." For us, "football" is the game that developed out of rugby, played on a field marked in increments to measure the yards a team tries to gain. The team possessing the ball (the offense) must advance 10 yards in 4 tries to achieve a "down." Touchdowns (entry into the end zone) are rewarded with 6 points, and may be capped by a 1 point or 2 point attempt to "convert" the touchdown by additional effort (either kicking the ball through the upright goal posts or a player getting the ball into the end zone once again). The Highland Realm has a league of 6 teams, divided into two divisions. The top team from each division faces its rival in a penultimate contest call the "Super Cup."
