It is the scoreboard that reflects the tie score at the end of the game...... The extra point actually did go unnoticed in the scorebook until one minute had elaspse into the overtime. In my opinion, the game was handled correctly in that the missed point was added to the scoreboard totals and the overtime was played through.
Looking at the real question again..... After legal play has ended (Horn at the end of the 4th period), up to what time can the extra point be discovered and counted to give Team A the win and not go into the overtime?
I'm assuming that the "Tip" actually starts the overtime period and I think that if the missed point is found anytime prior to the time that the ball leaves the referees hand, to start the overtime period, that point would be added to Team A's score on the scoreboard and Team A would be the winner.. At least that's what I think....
