It is a score which is awarded 0 points. Rather than a 1-point safety, it is a 0-point safety. It would actually be recorded as a safety but then say, however, due to its occurence in overtime number 3, no points are awarded. Just as if you lined up to kick a field goal for a try in overtime 3+.
What are you on?

How does "a one point try by Team A will not score a point" mean that there's such a thing as a 0-point safety?

And "kick a field goal for a try?" Do you want to rephrase that? It's either a field goal or a try. Not both.
