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
