Ties

Answer

Any games that are tied at the end of regulation will have an "overtime" that consists of:

  • Each team has FOUR offensive plays from the 20-yd line to score one touchdown and a 1 or 2 point conversion.
  • An interception cannot be returned for a touchdown; possession goes to the intercepting team.
  • If no one scores within the four plays of overtime, the game will remain a tie.
  • Playoffs only, if no one scores after overtime, then each team will continue the overtime format from the 10-yd line until a winner is declared.
