As mentioned in an earlier post, overtime periods are run like a regular game , changing ends if there is no score at the end of a period. The only difference is in the timing rules. Each overtime period is timed the same as the fourth period. This means after foul administration and runner out of bounds, the clock is restarted when the ball is marked ready for play, except during the last five minutes of the period. In regulation game conditions this rule is in effect during the last two minutes of the second quarter and the last five minutes of the fourth quarter. Hence , overtime periods follow the fourth quarter procedures.
