Per the suggested NFHS overtime rules "If the score remains tied after each team has been given one series of downs in an overtime period, then the procedure shall be repeated with other overtime periods until a game winner is determined. In this case, there shall be an intermission of two minutes. At the subsequent meeting of team captains, the loser of the overtime coin toss will be given first choice of the options. If additional overtime periods are required, then first options will be alternated with no coin toss."
We have been told that this is interpreted as the team that lost the overtime coin toss gets to chose who is on offense first, and this will be alternated for any additional overtimes. However, there is no change in regards to the end of the field the overtimes are played on. All overtime possessions/periods are played at the same end of the field unless that end becomes unplayable.
