News, Rules questions & Game Information 

Reminder that we are into play-off in SBC and Overtime maybe required.

In Ireland, we now play NCAA overtime rules – here’s some key points

  • coin toss at beginning of overtime – options are offence/defence/end of field
  • series of two possessions from 25 yard line – highest score after series wins
  • one time out for each team in each period of overtime
    • unused timeouts do not carry over
  • possession ends with a score or offence not making 1st down
    • PAT is attempted after Touchdown
  • On 3rd and subsequent periods of overtime, teams scoring a touchdown must attempt a 2 pt PAT
  •          A 1pt PAT attempt by Team A will not score a point
