Over here in the Maui Interscholastic League, we do not use the overtime rules for preseason and regular season games unless the game is for the first round, second round, or league championship. Then we follow the NFHS 10 yard overtime procedures found in the rule book.
Our state association uses the normal NFHS overtime procedures for the state football championship tournament (8 teams, single elimination, over 3 weekends) except that play starts from the 20 yard line.
I would like to express my opinion and get feedback from everyone. I'd like to see a modified sudden death type of overtime procedure where you have the normal coin toss and free kick and rules applied. Play continues until one team scores and other team can't match the score on their following possession. Do other officials think this could be done or would it make the games too long?
