Overtime in High School - What do you do?
Find out before the game starts:

• if there is going to be an overtime
• if so, one period or multiple periods
• the commissioner and/or the AD is a good source for this information
• if it is up to the coaches, get both to agree in writing

If the game ends in a tie, do the following:

• Two minute time out for teams to confer with their coaches
• Captains to center of field for toss of coin: a. Winner gets choice of - offense or defense...or which end of field to be used for all overtimes
• Loser gets remaining choice
• Alternating choice of offense or defense for subsequent overtime period(s)...if necessary

Extra points:

• If the overtime is only one period, the try may be a pass, kick or run
• If there are multiple overtimes, any team that scores a touchdown must attempt a two point conversion for all tries including the first one

Each team is allowed one full time-out for each overtime period

• No carryovers from 2nd half nor from previous overtime period(s)

High School exceptions - Something to think about...

Most of our rules are the same as the NCAA. There are some exceptions. What are they?

• Five (5) timeouts per half - 3 full and 2 20 seconds
• Whatever the goal post are, play the game
• The 40 yard line is the initial kick-off point
• Use of kicking tee is permitted for extra points and field goals
• Football helmets of the same color are not required
• Not required for jerseys to be long enough to reach the top of the pants and be tucked in

Changing the timing of the game...A few thoughts

• Changes before game starts: The length of the quarters of a game and/or intermission may be shortened due to darkness considerations; Let both coaches know; All 4 periods must be of equal length
• Changes during game: Periods may be shortened by agreement of referee and both head coaches. A few situations where this may be necessary: darkness; intermission has been extended beyond your control; game has been halted due to weather or power failure...If changes are to be made, get together with the coaches
