Section 6: Scoring
Scoring is governed by Law 16. A Goal is the recording of six points, and a Behind the recording of one point, as defined in Law 1.1 and scored under Law 16.1.
A Goal is scored when the football is kicked completely over the goal line between the goal posts in the circumstances set out at Law 16.1.1. A Behind is recorded in the circumstances set out at Law 16.1.2, including where the football is touched in transit (Law 16.5.1).
A Goal or a Behind is signalled by a goal Umpire and recorded accordingly (Law 16.3). The procedure after a Behind has been scored, including the kick-in, is governed by Law 17.
