Vince McMahon has officially announced some rule changes to the XFL that will be different from the NFL. Today the league announced a nine point touchdown.

On extra points, teams can choose whether to go for a one-point conversion from the 2-yard line, a two-point try from the 5-yard line or a three-point attempt from the 10-yard line.

“We literally have a nine-point touchdown. We think that’s valuable because teams that historically are down by let’s say three scores, well guess what, if it’s a 16-point or a 17-point differential, you’re really looking at a two-score game theoretically,” he said.

The XFL’s overtime rules are currently being tested in the Spring League. Each team will have five opportunities to convert a two-point conversion in the overtime session. The defense would score one point with a turnover.
