A-6 10-Yardline Overtime Procedure

I. Use of the tiebreaker

1. The tiebreaker will be used in all playoff games.

2. The tiebreaker will be used in all district games in districts which have voted to use tiebreakers.

3. The tiebreaker will be used in non-division games only when both coaches agree in conference with the referee prior to the game.

II. Procedure (regular season & playoff games)

If at the end of the 4th quarter the teams have identical scores, the tie may be resolved by the following method with all game rules applying except:

· The line-to-gain shall always be the goal line.

· No try will be made if the winner of the game has been determined.

· If Team B scores a safety or touchdown, the game is ended.

· If a safety is scored by A, the succeeding spot will be the 10-yardline in possession of Team B provided they have not already had their series.

· If team B gains possession, the down and series for A ends immediately.

· No free kick privileges are awarded following a fair catch or awarded fair catch.

· Only nonplayer, unsportsmanlike, or dead ball fouls during a down which results in a successful field goal, touchdown or try are penalized from the succeeding spot.

III. When the score is tied at the end of the 4th quarter

1. The referee will instruct both teams to return to their respective team boxes. There will be a 3-minute intermission during which both teams may confer with their coaches. All officials will assemble at the 50-yardline, review the procedure and determine the number of time-outs remaining for each team. The linesman will go to the team on the side of the field where the line-to- gain equipment is located, and the line judge to the other team, to inform the coaches of the number of time-outs each team has remaining and escort the respective team captains to the center of the field for the coin toss.

2. At the coin toss, the visiting team captain will be given the privilege of calling the coin while it is in the air. The winner of the toss shall be given his choice of defense or offense, or of designating the end of the field at which the will be put for play. The referee will indicate which team will go on offense first, the referee will place a ball in that captain's chest area while he is facing the goal toward which his team will advance and gives the 1st down signal. The other team captain with his back toward the goal which he will defend. A-7

3. Each team will be permitted 1 additional time-out for each extra period plus any unused regulation game time-outs. The team scoring the greater number of points in overtime shall be declared the winner. The final score shall be determined by totaling all points scored by each team during the regulation and overtime periods.

4. To start the overtime the offensive team shall put the ball in play, 1st and goal on B's 10-yard line anywhere between the inbounds lines. Team A shall have a series of 4 downs. The series shall be terminated by any score by A or if B has possession at the end of any down. Team A shall be awarded a new series when:

· The penalty for defensive pass interference is accepted.

· Team A recovers a scrimmage kick (field-goal attempt) between the goal lines after it has been touched first by B beyond the neutral zone.

· When B is guilty of roughing the kicker or placekick holder or passer.

5. If Team A scores a touchdown, it is entitled to the opportunity to try for point, except when it is unnecessary to break the tie. A field-goal attempt is permitted during any down. If the defensive team gains possession, the ball becomes dead immediately and A's series is ended.

6. After Team A has completed its series, Team B will become the offensive team with the ball in its possession at the 10-yard line anywhere between the inbounds lines. The same end of the field will be used for both possessions in order to insure equal conditions and conserve time.

7. If the score remains tied after each team has been given 1 series, the procedure shall be repeated until a winner is determined. There will be an intermission of 2 minutes during which the loser of the coin-toss will be given the choice of the options. If additional periods are required, first choice of options will be alternated.
