During regular season play, all ties will be scored as ties. In the playoffs, however, the Four-Downs-and-Out format will apply.
A Ro-Sham-Bo between the team captains before the start of overtime will decide first or second possession.
Teams will attempt to score in the same end zone.
Each team will then have 4 downs to score from the 1st cone from the goal.
If a team scores, they will have the opportunity to go for one or two on the PAT.
Normal gender rules apply for the Four-Downs-and-Out format.
An interception will result in a team losing its possession.
The game will be decided when one team scores more points in the rotation.
No first downs will be awarded in overtime except in the case of an automatic first down from a penalty.
Interceptions will result in a turnover and may not be returned for any points.
Two point conversion attempts may not be returned for 2 points in OVERTIME 4 down and out play. An interception simply results in a turnover to the other team.
