Like most (if not all) Students’ Unions across the country, when it comes to gender, race, sexuality, and disability we operate a self-definition system. We do this because some of us might not self-define with the same gender or sexuality as when we first started university. This becomes important around SU Elections as we want to limit the voting of who should lead communities to those that belong to that community only. Set your preferences below.
* Global Majority is a collective term that encourages those of African, Asian, Latin American, and Arab descent to recognise that together they comprise the vast majority (around 80%) of people in the world.
2 teams of up to 50 players wearing helmets and shoulder pads attempt to move the ball down field to score a touchdown or a field goal.
Each team has 11 players on the field at any time, with different line ups for offensive and defensive plays.
There are unlimited substitutions throughout the game, which is made up of 4 x 15 minute quarters. The team scoring the most points wins.
