Rugby sevens rules are simpler than rugby union. There are just seven players on the field at any given time, and the game is played on a 100-meter-by-70-meter field. There are still rules. A player can only remain on the field of action for a maximum period of two minutes. The winner of the regulation game will be the one with the most points. If a team is not ready to play, it will forfeit the match.
Players playing on the field cannot warm up and must be ready for play when the match starts. A player who is hurt during a match will need to be treated. A yellow carded player may result in a player being suspended for two minutes. In advanced rounds, a touch-judge may be available.
Offside positions are prohibited. This means the player must be closer than their teammate who is carrying the ball. The ball must be carried by the player further forward than its teammate. This ensures there is enough space to play. For this offense, a player can be punished.
Offside positions will result in a penalty and the possession team will receive a scrum. The scrum is used to restart the game following an infraction. Three players are allowed to compete in each scrum. The scrum must be played within a 30 second time limit if it is to be awarded to a team. A penalty will be given to the team who fails to play within the time limit.
The ball cannot be held by players while they are in the ruck. If a player is in an offside position, they must be closer than their opponent's goal line to be considered the ball carrier. This allows for space to play. Other teammates must also be present to hold the player.
Set pieces are not considered place kicks in rugby sevens. Instead, they are called drop kicks. A kick through posts, for instance, is worth three goals to the team. Conversions give the team two points for scoring the try. These conversions must be taken within 40 seconds of the try.
Drop kicks from in the end zone, or by kicking the ball through goal posts may convert. If the kicker is penalized, the penalty kick is awarded the non-offending side. Three points are earned by a penalty kick.
In their first match against Kenya, the United States Eagles was down 14-12 to the United States Eagles. Pre-COVID, the United States was ranked second in the world. But, the Eagles performed poorly in the second match and Kenya scored the game's first try. In the third match, the Eagles scored three tries to win.

Para-gliding involves flying above the ground using a harness attached to a small sail. The harness lets you fly. It protects you from falling through the air.
