News, Rules questions & Game Information
A final reminder before Shamrock Bowl XXV– 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 more rules questions in this edition of Newsflash related to overtime along with the answers to last week’s plays.
I’m attaching the answers to this weeks questions in an extra posting to allow you to understand the play ruling – espically #3 from this week.
