One of the big reasons that the Canadian game cannot use the NFL sudden death style of OT is that we allow one point for kicks that enter and do not come back out of the end zone. So the coin flip winner would win far more often than 51%!
The Canadian overtime rules used to be very strange. We would play a "mini-game" with two 10 minute halves. This meant that each team would receive at least one kick-off. I coached in one of those where we were tied 0-0 at the end of regulation. At the end of the mini-game, the score was: you guessed it 1-0!
