We are considering changing our current overtime method. Currently our overtime is:

In the event a game is tied at the end of regulation play, start of each possession
will be the 20 yard line (4 downs to score) overtime shall be the deciding format.
If the overtime game is not a playoff game, each team will be afforded one
possession to score, after which if the game remains deadlocked, it will end in a
TIE. If overtime exists during playoffs, the game will continue until a winner is
determined. A coin flip will determine first possession or deferment, whatever the
deciding team chooses. Between the end of the game and overtime there will be
an intermission period of no more than Two (2) minutes. One timeout will be
awarded to each team. Timeouts will not carry over from regulation play.
In the event of a tie after two possessions by each team, teams then must
attempt for 2 point conversions rather than 1. After 2 possessions of 2 point
conversions ending in a tie, the 5th and final possession will be determined by the
penetration rule – the team that accumulates the most yards from the 20 yard
line should both teams fail to score.


We are considering changing to:

Overtime is extra points only; A coin flip will determine first possession or
deferment, whatever the deciding team chooses. A team chooses to go for
either one or two, then the other team chooses from the same options. After
each team has had the opportunity whoever has more points wins. It cuts
down on time and is more exciting. During the regular season we are considering
allowing up to 3 opportunities per team before ending in a tie.


Feel free to post any thoughts or suggestions you may have.
