Other football codes The mark in rugby is similar to the fair catch in American football. The fair catch kick is still an option following a fair catch in the National Football League and high school football rule books but is not mandatory and rarely used due to strategic disadvantages; it has been stricken from the college football rulebook. Marks are used in Australian Football as well. Although the difference is, that marks are taken all over the ground and is one of the most important skills.
