Calculate field goal attempt distance from the line of scrimmage or reverse-solve the required spot with adjustable end-zone and holder-depth assumptions. Attempt distance equals the line-to-goal distance plus the post offset beyond the goal line and the holder depth behind the snap. The 7- and 8-yard holder depths are planning assumptions; use custom geometry for the actual field and spot. This is a longitudinal distance estimate, not the ball’s curved flight path or a kick-success prediction. The CFL goal-line preset applies through 2026. CFL announced posts behind 15-yard end zones for 2027; custom geometry can model that announced 15-yard post offset.
