A draw or tie occurs in a competitive sport when the results are identical or inconclusive. Ties or draws are possible in some, but not all, sports and games. Such an outcome, sometimes referred to as deadlock, can also occur in other areas of life such as politics , business , and wherever there are different factions regarding an issue.
123-405: Overtime or extra time is an additional period of play specified under the rules of a sport to bring a game to a decision and avoid declaring the match a tie or draw where the scores are the same. In some sports, this extra period is played only if the game is required to have a clear winner, as in single-elimination tournaments where only one team or players can advance to the next round or win
246-579: A One-Day International was the 2019 Cricket World Cup Final , wherein the Super Over was tied, and the winner then had to be determined by boundary countback (a statistical tiebreaker). Following this event, the ICC changed the rules of its knockout matches so that tied matches continue until one team wins a Super Over. Tie (draw) The word tie is usually used in North America , whereas
369-452: A penalty kick shoot-out with the winner determined by the teams alternating kicks from the penalty mark. Since the 2022 men's and women's season, the golden goal has been abolished during the regular season. Games that ended in a draw during a conference or national tournament game involve two 10-minute periods, but no golden goal (following FIFA's extra time rules since 2005). A playoff game tied after two overtime periods still moves to
492-419: A penalty kick shoot-out with the winner determined by the teams alternating kicks from the penalty mark. High school rules vary depending on the state and conference, but most will have a sudden-death overtime procedure wherein the game ends upon scoring a golden goal, although in some instances the overtime will go until completion with the team in the lead after time expires (i.e., silver goal rules) declared
615-458: A shootout will occur, with three players participating for each side. If the score is still tied, the shootout will go into sudden death. In North American minor leagues, the same procedure is used except shootouts are five players. In each case, the winner of the shootout is awarded credit for a regulation win (two points), and the loser of the overtime is marked with an overtime loss (OTL) and receives credit equal to half of one win (one point). In
738-401: A tiebreaker rule applies in each set to avoid lengthy matches, as happens quite frequently if the traditional tennis rule for winning a set is followed. When players reach a score of 6–all in a set, instead of continuing the set until one opponent wins with a two-game difference, a special game is played to decide the winner of the set; the winner is the first to reach at least seven points with
861-642: A 38-yard field goal on the Vikings' first drive. When Jacksonville regained possession, they failed to gain a first down, losing possession and the game on a failed fourth-down conversion. The first overtime in which both teams scored occurred on 18 November 2012, in a game between the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars; the Texans won 43–37. The first overtime game that ended in a tie after both teams scored in overtime occurred on 24 November 2013, when
984-661: A coin, may be resorted to even in a formal vote. In some legislative bodies , a casting vote can only be exercised according to strict rules or constitutional conventions . For example, the Speaker of the British House of Commons (a position whose functions and conventions of operation inspire similar roles in several other nations using the Westminster system ) is expected by convention to follow Speaker Denison's rule (i.e. to vote to allow further discussion, if this
1107-520: A dead heat with teammate Rubens Barrichello but "failed by a little" as Schumacher said, finishing 0.011 seconds behind Barrichello. The F1 Sporting Regulations provide that in the event of a dead heat in a race, points and prizes will be added together and shared equally among the tying drivers. In Grand Prix motorcycle racing , dead heats are avoided by fastest lap times being a tiebreaking measure. This rule resulted in Héctor Faubel winning
1230-542: A difference of two over the opponent. This however did not apply to the final set of matches at the French Open, allowing the total number of games in a match to be virtually unlimited (for example, the final set of the Isner–Mahut match at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships ended only when John Isner beat Nicolas Mahut 70–68). The Australian Open and Wimbledon Championships did not use a final set tiebreaker through
1353-728: A draw even if two of three judges score it a draw and the third does not (a majority draw ). Draws are relatively rare in boxing: certain scoring systems make it impossible for a judge to award equal points for a match. If a championship bout ends in a draw, the champion usually retains the title. If there is a draw in a quarterfinal or a semifinal match of a tournament, a tiebreaker round is played instead. In professional sumo , draws were once common place but are no longer used in any situation. In situations that would have resulted in draws (such as close results, exhaustion, or injury) are currently resolved with immediate rematches, temporary breaks, or forfeiture. In most professional tennis matches,
SECTION 10
#17327733132841476-644: A draw occurred during a finals match, the match would be replayed the following week, but the Australian Football League introduced extra time to finals (except for the Grand Final ) in 1991 following the logistical difficulties that arose after the 1990 Qualifying Final between Collingwood and West Coast was drawn, and introduced extra time to Grand Finals in 2016. Where used, extra time typically consists of two periods, each three minutes long (plus time-on if applicable), with winner being
1599-447: A draw occurs when both players end the match through a double KO ; or via time over , with the same percentage of life bar. For example, some of these games, such as Street Fighter and Tekken , require two rounds to win the match, and if after a third round the score ends in a 1–1 draw, the players have to fight again in an extra round. If this extra round ends in a draw, the game will end for both players. In Mortal Kombat , if
1722-419: A draw. When a match ends with completion of the specified maximum number of rounds, and the judges of the match have awarded an equal number of points to both boxers, or if there are three judges (as is the custom) and one judge awards the fight to one fighter, another awards the fight to the opposing fighter, and the third scores it a draw ( split draw ), the match is declared a draw. The contest would be scored
1845-453: A game can be called a tie in some situations, usually in a case where one or both teams have used all available pitchers. Games can be called after fifth innings in extenuating circumstances, such as suspension due to bad weather. For some amateur and international games, tiebreakers are used prompting an earlier conclusion during extra innings: If a tiebreaker is used, after a certain extra innings (usually 3 or 4, determined by organizer before
1968-417: A game clock. However, if the regulation number of innings are complete (normally nine in baseball and seven in softball) and the score is even, extra innings are played to determine a winner. Complete innings are played, so if a team scores in the top half of the inning, the other team has the chance to play the bottom half of the inning; they will extend the game by tying the score again and win if they take
2091-504: A game: If the score is even after three periods, the game may end in a tie, or overtime may be played. In most North American professional leagues, the regular-season tie-breaker is five minutes long, with each side playing at least one man short. Starting with the 2015–16 NHL season , the National Hockey League went from playing one man short to two men short in overtime. Should a team have two players penalised during
2214-429: A goal during extra time, the game ends immediately and the scoring team becomes the winner. The winning goal is known as the "golden goal". If there have been no goals scored after both periods of extra time, a penalty shoot-out decides the game. The golden goal was not compulsory, and individual competitions using extra time could choose whether to apply it during extra time. The first European Championship played with
2337-528: A goal after two minutes of extra time to win the match, 1–0. A similar rule was used the following year in the Cromwell Cup , which like the Youdan Cup was played under Sheffield Rules . In the final of this competition, played at Bramall Lane , Sheffield in 1868, the deciding goal was scored by the then newly formed team called The Wednesday , now known as Sheffield Wednesday. The golden goal
2460-595: A goal from Paul Tait , followed by the 1996 European Championship final , won by Germany over the Czech Republic . The golden goal in this final was scored by Oliver Bierhoff . In MLS Cup 1996, Eddie Pope scored 3:25 into extra time as D.C. United beat the LA Galaxy 3–2. The first golden goal in World Cup history took place in 1998 , as Laurent Blanc scored to enable France to defeat Paraguay in
2583-480: A lot of players on the losing side. The silver goal, while in theory giving the remainder of the first fifteen-minute period of extra time to make a comeback, nonetheless could still effectively end the game if scored near the end of that period. Furthermore, there was also confusion about when events could choose among several different extra time rules. In February 2004, the IFAB announced that, after Euro 2004, both

#17327733132842706-442: A match (typically a knock-out match) in which scores are equal at the end of regular time. It is a type of sudden death . Under this rule, the game ends when a goal or point is scored; the team that scores that goal or point during extra time is the winner. Introduced formally in 1993, though with some history before that, the rule ceased to apply to most FIFA -authorized football games in 2004. The similar silver goal supplemented
2829-479: A penalty in the 103rd minute. Less than a year later on 1 July 2004, Galásek would be on the field when the silver goal was featured in the only major competitive match to be decided by a silver goal: that of the semi-final match at Euro 2004 between Greece and the Czech Republic . However, the silver goal would eliminate the Czech Republic as Traianos Dellas scored for Greece after a corner kick in
2952-443: A quarter-possession rule to start periods after the opening jump, also uses a jump ball. The entire overtime period is played; there is no sudden-death provision. All counts of personal fouls against players are carried over for the purpose of disqualifying players. If the score remains tied after an overtime period, this procedure is repeated until a winner is determined. As many as six overtime periods have been necessary to determine
3075-451: A regulation game ends once either team has reached 21 points, does not apply during overtime; a tie at 20 must go to 22. The team that did not get first possession in the game gets first possession in overtime (as jump balls are not used in 3x3). Individual personal foul counts are not kept at any time during the game; all personal fouls are recorded against the team, and team fouls carry over to overtime. Ties are common in ice hockey due to
3198-480: A result "after sudden death extra time". Up until 2021, under NCAA college soccer rules, all games that remained tied after 90 minutes had an overtime period. A sudden-death golden goal rule was applied, with the game ending as soon as an overtime goal was scored. If neither team scored in the two 10-minute halves, the game ended in a draw unless it was a conference or national championship tournament game. A playoff game tied after two overtime periods then moved to
3321-467: A round ends when the time runs out and both players have complete life bars, the game ends for both players, because due to Mortal Kombat ' s gameplay (in which every common hit takes block damage) it is virtually impossible for a round to end tied, and that means the players were not playing for real. In the Super Smash Bros. series, if two or more players have equal lives or points at
3444-458: A rule change in 2016, the Australian Football League (AFL) replayed the entire AFL Grand Final if the game was tied at the end of regular time. This was known as a grand final replay and occurred three times in the AFL (1948, 1977, 2010). Because of the inconvenience of this, from the 2016 AFL season onwards drawn grand finals were then to be resolved with two five-minute periods of extra time; if
3567-411: A shootout determines the winner. In playoff games, shootouts are not used; 20-minute periods of five-on-five hockey are played until a goal is scored to end the game. This has resulted in extremely long contests , such as the " Easter Epic ", a playoff series-deciding match which ended in the midst of its fourth overtime. The term "golden goal" is not a commonly used term in hockey, rather the winning goal
3690-501: A shootout if needed, in the regular season and preseason); however, the term "golden goal" is not used. A rule similar to the golden goal also applies in National Football League regular season games (only if a touchdown or safety is scored, or any score on any possession after the first possession unless both teams score a field goal in the first two possessions then the game becomes true sudden death), although again
3813-607: A shootout win two points, and an overtime loss as well as a shootout loss one point in the standings. In the National Hockey League, in the playoffs, in general unlimited 20-minute sudden death periods are played, making a tie impossible. An exception occurred during the 1988 Finals, when a power failure forced the early abandonment of Game 4 between the Boston Bruins and the Edmonton Oilers with

3936-506: A tie on aggregate. The rule was first used in the 2009–10 EuroCup quarterfinals (which consist of two-legged ties), although no game in that phase of the competition ended in a regulation draw. Euroleague Basketball extended this rule to all two-legged ties in its competitions, including the EuroLeague, in 2010–11 . One game in the qualifying rounds of that season (the only phase of the EuroLeague that uses two-legged ties), specifically
4059-411: A tie only if the game is called off due to weather conditions. In the early decades of baseball (up to the 1920s), a game could also be called off due to nightfall, but this ceased to be a problem once stadiums began installing lights in the 1930s. Two Major League Baseball All-Star Games have ended in a tie; the second 1961 game was called due to rain with the teams tied 1-1 after the ninth inning, and
4182-620: A touchback and no time off the clock. Tim Tebow , then with the Denver Broncos , threw an 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play to Demaryius Thomas to give the Broncos the win in only 11 seconds. The first time the "first-possession field goal" rule was enforced occurred on 9 September 2012, the first week of the season, in a game between the Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars . Minnesota's Blair Walsh kicked
4305-544: A touchdown is scored first. The first and only game to go into overtime under this rule was Super Bowl LVIII following the 2023 season. However, that game was not impacted by the rule change; the San Francisco 49ers kicked a field goal on their first possession and the Kansas City Chiefs would have gotten a possession under the pre-2022 rule as well. The Arena Football League and NFL Europe used
4428-553: A variant in which each team is guaranteed one possession. Whoever is leading after one possession won the game; if the teams remain tied after one possession, the game went to sudden death. This procedure was used by the United Football League in its inaugural 2009 season. This included both games of all semifinals series. All overtime periods thereafter were true sudden death periods. The short-lived World Football League , for its inaugural 1974 season (the same year
4551-451: A winner after extra time are usually broken by kicks from the penalty spot, commonly called a penalty shootout . In the late 1990s and early 2000s, many international matches tried to reduce this by employing the golden goal (also called " sudden death ") or silver goal rules (the game ending if a team has the lead after the first 15-minute period of extra time), but competitions have not retained these. The abbreviation "a.s.d.e.t." refers to

Tied Super Overs may be followed by another Super Over in some matches, such as (since 2008) the knockout matches of International Cricket Council tournaments. The Super Over originates from Twenty20 cricket, and has been used several times in Twenty20 International games; its first use in
4797-479: A winner in an NBA game. In exhibition games (non-competitive play), it is upon the discretion of the coaches and organizers if an overtime is to be played especially if it is a non-tournament game (a one-off event). Starting in the 2009–10 season, Euroleague Basketball , the organizer of the EuroLeague and EuroCup , introduced a new rule for two-legged ties that eliminated overtime unless necessary to break

In racing sports, if competitors appear to finish simultaneously and no technology (such as a photo finish ) can separate them, this is considered a "dead heat" and in most cases the competitors tie for the place. The term "dead heat" originally came from when horse racing from when horses used to race in matches consisting of multiple heats, rather than single races, with

Upon the first dead ball (time-out, foul, violation) with 4 minutes or less remaining in the fourth period, the game clock is turned off (though the shot clock remains active). A target score is set at the current lead score plus eight points (originally seven, but changed for
5658-418: Is possible for a college game to end after a single play in overtime if the team on defense secures a turnover and returns it for a touchdown: on 9 September 2005, Ohio defeated Pittsburgh 16–10 on an 85-yard interception return by Dion Byrum on the third play of overtime. It is also possible for the defense to get a safety on the first play of overtime (which would also end the game), but this would require

This in effect means "Yes/Yea/Aye" on the first and second reading of a bill , "No/Nay" on the third, "Yes/Yea/Aye" on the government's budget , and "No/Nay" on a motion of no confidence . Chess has five ways of ending or achieving a draw from an opponent: stalemate , agreement between the players , the fifty-move rule (and its extension, seventy-five-move rule), threefold repetition (and its extension, fivefold repetition), or neither player having sufficient material to checkmate . At top-level play, roughly half of games end in

A brief summary of the rules: On two occasions, just two plays were required to determine an overtime winner in an NCAA football game: on 26 September 2002, when Louisville defeated Florida State 26–20 and on 27 September 2003, when Georgia Tech defeated Vanderbilt 24–17. It

Should the result still be tied a place-kicking competition is held where 5 players from each side take one kick each from anywhere on the 22-metre line (usually straight in front of the posts). The semi-final of the Heineken Cup between Cardiff Blues and Leicester Tigers at the Millennium Stadium
6150-472: Is tied. A rule change in the FIBA rules effective 1 October 2017 (Article D.4.2) permits drawn games at the end of either leg of the two-legged tie. The definition states, "If the score is tied at the end of the first game, no extra period shall be played."

As no 2010 postseason game went into overtime, the first overtime game played after the implementation of this rule came in the wild-card round in 2011 . Incidentally, this was also the shortest overtime in NFL history; Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Shaun Suisham kicked off and the ball went out of the back of the end zone, resulting in
8856-638: The competitions it directly organizes except only in the final match of a competition, such as the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana . The score in games or ties resorting to extra time are often recorded with the abbreviation a.e.t. (after extra time) usually accompanying the earlier score after regulation time. The two-legged format for the club competition finals with this rule is still used in AFC and CONCACAF club competitions where an away goals rule still takes place. Ties that are still without
8979-502: The deciding leg (or replay of a tie) has not produced a winner by the end of normal or full-time. It follows a short break (traditionally five minutes) where players remain on or around the field of play and comprises two 15-minute periods, with teams changing ends in between. Although the Laws of the Game state that extra time is one of the approved methods to decide a winner, competitions are not bound to adopt extra time, and each competition
9102-631: The end of a match, a sudden death period begins with each fighter having 300% damage, essentially making it so a single hit can win the match. This is also true in Virtua Fighter series and X-Men: Children of the Atom . In SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium , a draw awards the round to both sides but favours the CPU if it's a decider i.e. the player is still the loser and must restart
9225-444: The first fifteen-minute half of extra time, it is the winner, but the game no longer ends the instant a team scores like it did under golden goal. Competitions that operated extra time would be able to decide whether to use the golden goal, the silver goal, or neither procedure. The silver goal was seen as a means to "reduce the odds of a penalty shoot-out without the immediate jeopardy (and perceived unfairness) of Golden Goal" as it gave
9348-579: The first holder of both the FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship since West Germany in 1974 . Also in 2000, Galatasaray had a 2–1 victory over Real Madrid in the 2000 UEFA Super Cup in Stade Louis II . The 90 minutes had produced a 1-1 draw and in extra time the Brazilian player Mário Jardel scored the golden goal and won the first ever UEFA Super Cup in club history. The following year, Liverpool overcame Deportivo Alavés in
9471-451: The game's low-scoring nature. If the score is tied at the end of regulation play, certain leagues play overtime. When a tie needs to be broken in handball , two straight 5-minute overtimes are played. If the teams are still tied after that, this overtime procedure is repeated once more; a further draw will result in a penalty shootout . Baseball and softball are unique among the popular North American team sports in that they do not use
9594-471: The game. The Canadian Elite Basketball League first used the Elam Ending in a 2020 tournament that replaced the season that was scrapped due to COVID-19 , using TBT rules except that the target score was set by adding 9 points instead of 8. The CEBL made this permanent starting with its 2021 season. Starting in 2022–23 , the NBA G League adopted a variation of the Elam Ending in regular-season games, calling it
9717-458: The golden goal and silver goal methods would be removed from the Laws of the Game . Since the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany , the golden goal has never been used in the event of a drawn match during the knockout stage, as FIFA restored the previous rules: in the event of a drawn game after the regular 90 minutes, two straight 15-minute periods of extra time are played. If scores remain level,
9840-523: The golden goal between 2002 and 2004. The golden goal was played in NCAA soccer matches up to 2021, was eliminated in 2022, and then reinstated for post-season play in 2024. It is still used in FIH sanctioned field hockey games. A related concept, the golden point , is used in National Rugby League games. A similar golden goal rule is also used in all National Hockey League (NHL) overtime games (followed by
9963-467: The golden goal rule in 1993. It was hoped that the golden goal would produce more attacking play during extra time, and would reduce the number of penalty shootouts. The term golden goal was introduced by FIFA in 1993 along with the rule change because the alternative term, " sudden death ", was perceived to have negative connotations. In a knockout competition, following a draw, two fifteen-minute periods of extra time are played. If either team scores
10086-513: The last two seconds of the first period of extra time. The Czech team has been known for their come-from-behind wins earlier in the tournament against Latvia, Netherlands, and Germany, but the extremely late Greek score left the Czechs no chance to equalize. On the other hand if the Greeks had scored at the start of either period of extra time, the Czechs would have a decent opportunity to come back in
10209-410: The latter of which was the impetus for the 2019 rule change which mandated two-point conversion attempts after a set number of overtime periods. The Kansas System was first implemented in 1970. The original Kansas System had each team start on the 10-yard line. Throughout the state that first year, seventy games went into overtime with one game requiring five overtime periods to determine a winner. After
10332-553: The lead before their third out. The longest professional baseball game ever played, a 1981 minor league baseball game between the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings required 33 innings and over eight hours to complete. The Red Wings had scored in the top half of the 21st inning, but Pawtucket tied the game in the bottom half, extending the game. Major League Baseball games normally end in
10455-434: The losing team the remainder of the first fifteen-minute period of extra time to make a comeback. On 27 August 2003, Dutch club Ajax qualified for the group stage of the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League by virtue of the silver goal against Austrian club GAK after the two legs finished 1–1 each after 90 minutes. In extra time, Ajax was able to take advantage of GAK having two players sent off when Tomáš Galásek scored from
10578-464: The match. As well as being the only silver goal ever seen in an international match, it was also the only goal Dellas ever scored in his international career. Although both the golden goal and silver goal had their fans, both were also widely perceived as failed experiments. The golden goal in particular had not brought about more active and attacking play as originally intended and instead led to more cautious play along with furious angry reactions from
10701-487: The most points after three rounds wins it; otherwise, teams play sudden-death rounds until one team scores. One timeout can be called per overtime round. In college (since the 1996 season ) and high school football , as well as the Canadian Football League (since the 2000 season) and the short-lived Alliance of American Football , an overtime procedure is used to determine the winner. This method
10824-424: The next stage of the tournament, two periods of extra time are played. If the score continues tied even after this time, the match technically remains a draw; however, a penalty shootout is used to determine which team is to progress to the next stage of the tournament. In some competitions, the extra time may be skipped and the match goes straight to penalties after a drawn 90 minutes. Some competitions, such as
10947-790: The offense to lose 75 yards on the play, which is extremely unlikely (such a scenario is attested in regular play from scrimmage in college football but never in an overtime period). As of the beginning of the 2024 season, the Tennessee Volunteers have competed in the most overtime college football games, going 15-8 across the 23 games. The college game with the most overtime periods was on 23 October 2021, when Illinois defeated Penn State 20–18 in nonuple overtime. Prior to that, five games had been decided in septuple overtime: Arkansas vs. Ole Miss in 2001 , Arkansas vs. Kentucky in 2003 , North Texas vs. FIU in 2006 , Western Michigan vs. Buffalo in 2017 , and LSU vs. Texas A&M in 2018 ,
11070-410: The other team chooses which end of the field they will defend. Gameplay is conducted similarly to the regulation periods (in contrast with the "Kansas system" used in college football rules), and each team is given two timeouts . Instant replay reviews must be initiated by the replay official, i.e. there are no challenges. The winner is then decided as follows: Because playoff games cannot be tied,
11193-479: The overtime procedure is modified for these games: The National Football League (NFL) introduced sudden-death overtime for any divisional tiebreak games beginning in 1940 , and for championship games beginning in 1946 . The first postseason game to be played under these rules was the 1958 NFL Championship Game between the Baltimore Colts and New York Giants (the "Greatest Game Ever Played"). In 1974,
11316-508: The overtime, the team on the power play will play with a fifth player. In the Southern Professional Hockey League , each side plays only three players, with a minor penalty in the first three minutes resulting in a team on the power play earning an extra man; a minor penalty in the final two minutes, or a major penalty, results in the awarding of a penalty shot . A goal wins the game in sudden death; otherwise,
11439-505: The past ten years have actually made ties somewhat more common. The most recent NFL tied game occurred on December 4, 2022, when a game between the Washington Commanders and New York Giants ended in a 20–all tie after overtime. If both sides have scored an equal number of goals within regulation time (90 minutes), the game is usually counted as a draw. In elimination games, where a winner must be determined to progress to
11562-416: The penalty shootout if the aggregate is still tied after the extra time. Ties in the FA Cup used to be decided by as many replays as necessary until one produces a winner within normal time rather than have any extra time or shootouts though, nowadays, replays are limited to just one with the game going to extra time if teams are still level. Equally, CONMEBOL has historically never used extra time in any of
11685-446: The round of 16. In a qualification game for the 1994 Caribbean Cup , Barbados deliberately scored a late own goal in a successful attempt to qualify for the finals by forcing golden-goal extra time against Grenada , as an unusual tournament rule stated that golden goals counted double in calculating goal difference. Needing a two-goal victory to qualify, Barbados found themselves 2–1 up with three minutes left of normal time. After
11808-410: The rule gives victory to whichever team scored more in its respective away leg. Typically the rule may be invoked both to obviate extra time and after extra time to obviate a penalty shootout. All UEFA (European) club competitions used away goals until 2021; by contrast, CONMEBOL (South America) competitions did not use this rule until 2005, but also stopped using it since 2022. Major League Soccer ,
11931-503: The rule was in 1996 , as was the first MLS Cup that year ; the first World Cup played with the rule was in 1998 . The first golden goal recorded was on 13 March 1993 by Australia against Uruguay in a quarter-final match of the World Youth Championship . The first major tournament final to be decided by such a goal was the 1995 Football League Trophy , where Birmingham City beat Carlisle United 1–0, with
12054-580: The rules, the match may immediately end as a draw, additional periods may be played, or a different tiebreaking procedure such as a penalty shootout may be used instead. The terms overtime and in overtime (abbreviated "OT") are primarily used in North America, whereas the terms extra time and after extra time (abbreviated "a.e.t.") are usually used in other continents. In association football knockout competitions or competition stages, teams play an extra 30 minutes, called extra time, when
12177-406: The score is still tied after one 10-minute overtime period, while in postseason games, 15-minute overtime periods are played until a winner is determined. At the start of overtime, the team captains and officials hold another coin toss. Similarly to the coin toss at the beginning of the game, the team that wins the coin toss chooses whether they want to receive or kick the opening kickoff, while
12300-505: The score of both teams remain level by the end of 80 minutes play, the game ends a draw, and each team is awarded one point in the league rather than two for a win. Draws are uncommon in rugby union due to the variety of different ways to score and different values for each type of score. Draws are allowed to stand in league play. In the knockout stages of the Rugby World Cup , two 10-minute periods of extra time are played. If there
12423-549: The score tied 3–3. The game was later replayed in its entirety, with the Oilers winning and sweeping the Finals except for the one shortened tied game. Ties rarely occur, since multiple simultaneous player eliminations will rank the eliminated players by chip counts. However, if two or more players are eliminated in one hand, and both players started the hand with identical chip counts, the players will be tied in official rankings. It
12546-409: The scores are drawn after 80 minutes, the teams that have scored the most tries are considered the victors. However, if the number of tries scored are equal, the teams proceed to play overtime. Golden goal The golden goal is a sports rule used in association football , Australian rules football , bandy , field hockey , ice hockey , lacrosse , and rugby league to decide the winner of
12669-435: The scores are still tied at the end of the extra time period, play would continues until the next score. This was removed after the 2019 season, with level scores after an initial two three-minute extra time periods to be determined instead by further periods of extra time. Golden goal was never used in the four years it was part of the rules. At the 2022 Women's Bandy World Championship, the final of Pool B (second division)
12792-473: The second leg of the third qualifying round tie between Spirou Charleroi and ALBA Berlin , ended in a draw after regulation. No overtime was played in that game because Spirou had won the first leg, and the two-legged tie. Although other competitions use two-legged ties at various stages, the FIBA Europe competitions are the only ones known to use overtime only if the aggregate score after the second game
12915-421: The sport's governing body, did away with the overtime procedure in 2013, and now teams go directly to the shootout. The golden goal rule comes into use at the end of regulation of every National Hockey League game where the score is tied. In the regular season, five minutes of three-on-three sudden-death overtime are played, with the first goal winning the game. If, however, neither team scores after this period,
13038-508: The stage even though they technically tied. Tied games, which were commonplace in the National Football League (NFL) through the 1960s, had become exceedingly rare with the introduction of sudden death overtime , which first applied to the regular season in 1974. The first game this new rule applied to ended in a tie between the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers . However, modifications to overtime rules within
13161-522: The system was reviewed positively by the majority of state's coaches and administrators, Kansas State High School Activities Association leadership presented the system to the National Federation of State High School Associations, who approved giving state associations the option of using the overtime system for two years. Two years later the overtime system became a permanent option for state associations use. Another type of overtime system
13284-419: The team ahead after both periods; if scores are still level at the end of extra time, this process is repeated, with additional two 3-minute periods being played as needed until a winner can be determined. Ties are relatively rare in baseball, since the practice dating back to the earliest days of the game is to play extra innings until one side has the lead after an equal number of innings played. Nonetheless
13407-524: The team that is in its opponents' territory at the conclusion of the eight plays is awarded one point and declared the winner. When the California tiebreaker was finally phased out, it was replaced by the Kansas tiebreaker. The Louisiana High School Athletic Association did not adopt the Kansas tiebreaker for its playoffs until 1977. Prior to this, if a game ended tied, the team with the most first downs
13530-538: The term itself is not used. The rules of the first known organized inter-club tournament in any code of football, the English Youdan Cup of 1867, featured a sudden-death rule. If scores were tied after 90 minutes, up to an hour of extra time was played, with the first team to score a goal or rouge being declared the winner. This rule came into effect in the second round tie between Norfolk FC and Broomhall FC played on 23 February 1867, when Norfolk scored
13653-454: The thousandths of a second. However, a photo-finish camera is used at the finish line, and if the two vehicles cross the line together, the position may be declared a tie. The 1974 Firecracker 400 is the only case in modern NASCAR history where a tie has occurred in a position; Cale Yarborough and Buddy Baker tied for third after 160 laps. At the 2002 United States Formula One Grand Prix , Ferrari 's Michael Schumacher attempted to stage
13776-556: The total number of wins for horses determining winner of the match. When the judges could not determine the first horse over the finish line, the heat was declared "dead", and did not count. If there is a dead heat, wagers are paid on all winning horses, but against half the original stake (or one-third if there were three tied horses, and so on). See List of dead heat horse races . Ties in motor racing almost never occur. Nearly all modern racing cars and motorcycles carry electronic transponders which relay precise timing information down to
13899-405: The tournament and replays are not allowed. The rules of overtime or extra time vary between sports and even different competitions. Some may employ " sudden death ", where the first player or team who scores immediately wins the game. In others, play continues until a specified time has elapsed, and only then is the winner declared. If the contest remains tied after the extra session, depending on
14022-409: The tournament), the innings will start with the previous two batters loaded. Ties are somewhat rare in basketball due to the high-scoring nature of the game: if the score is tied at the end of regulation, the rules provide that as many extra periods as necessary will be played until one side has a higher score. Cricket distinguishes between a tie and a draw , which are two possible results of
14145-589: The whole 20-minute overtime without a goal before the United States prevailed in a shootout for their first gold in 20 years. Jocelyne Lamoureux scored in the sixth round of the shootout while Meghan Agosta failed. Kirill Kaprizov scored at 9:40 of overtime as the Russian Olympic Committee beat Germany in the 2018 men's final . Since 2022, the overtime procedure changed to multiple 20-minute periods of 3-on-3, until one team scores, and applies to both genders. A "Golden point" system, whereby
14268-456: The winner is decided by a penalty shoot-out . The golden goal rule was abolished in NCAA soccer in 2022, and uses the FIFA overtime procedure as above. It was reinstated for post-season play in 2024. The championship games of the 1995, 1996, 2002, and 2013 women's tournaments were decided by a golden goal; this situation also happened in the men's tournament in 2017 and 2020 . Prior to
14391-407: The winner. The overtime period length may vary, but it is commonly 10 minutes long. Depending on the state, if the game is still tied at the end of the first overtime: In the National Football League (NFL), sudden death overtime periods are played during regular-season and postseason games, but not during preseason games from 1920 to 1973 and since 2021 . Regular-season games end in a tie if
14514-409: The word draw is usual elsewhere. In instances where a winner must be determined, several methods are commonly used. Across various sports: The rules governing the resolution of drawn matches are rarely uniform across an entire sport, and are usually specified by the rules of the competition. In other areas, such as in a vote, there may be a method to break the tie. Having an odd number of voters
14637-538: Was decided by a "kick-off". After five kicks per team, the scores were level at 4–4 after Johne Murphy (Leicester) and Tom James (Cardiff) had missed their kicks. Moving now to sudden death, the score continued to 6–6 but, after Martyn Williams pulled his kick wide, Leicester number eight Jordan Crane scored to send Leicester Tigers to the Heineken Cup Final in Edinburgh. In certain knockout competitions, if
14760-473: Was decided by a golden goal. International field hockey tournaments such as the Hockey World Cup and Champions Trophy had used golden goals to decide the winners of elimination matches. During these matches, two extra periods of 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 minutes each were played, and if no golden goals were scored after both periods of extra time, a penalty stroke competition decided the game. FIH ,
14883-429: Was declared the winner; if that was tied, the next criteria was penetrations inside the opponent's 20-yard line. On at least two occasions, both of those criteria were even following a drawn match, forcing a replay . In basketball , if the score is tied at the end of regulation play, the teams play multiple five-minute overtime periods until a winner is decided. In levels below collegiate/Olympic play, an overtime period
15006-431: Was introduced due to perceived failings of other means of resolving a draw (tie) in round-robin or knock-out tournaments where a winner is required. In particular, extra time periods can be tense and unentertaining as sides are too tired and nervous to attack, preferring to defend and play for penalties; whilst penalty shootouts are often described as based upon luck, and unrepresentative of football. FIFA introduced
15129-547: Was once used by the California Interscholastic Federation. Known as the "California tiebreaker", it was used in high school football from 1968 through the 1970s and '80s. The California tiebreaker starts with the ball placed at the 50-yard line, and the teams run four plays each (a coin toss decides who gets to go first), alternating possession at the spot of the ball after every play. If no one manages to score (field goals are not allowed), then
