News, Rules questions & Game Information
Another reminder as we approach the Shamrock Bowl – IAFL is playing NCAA overtime regulations this season.
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
- after 2 periods of overtime, teams scoring a touchdown must attempt a 2 pt PAT (a 1pt PAT will be ignored)
There are some rules questions in this edition of Newsflash related to overtime. I will publish some more next week.
