Why make it so complicated, BillyMac said nit-pickingly.

Somebody has to wear white jerseys. Somebody has to be the home team on most (although not all) scoreboards. It's usually decided ahead of time, often based on seeding.

Start the game with the team not wearing white getting the ball. Start all overtime periods with the direction of the possession arrow at the end of the the previous period, as the second, third, and fourth period started.



Not picking on JRutledge, or The Land of Lincoln, just thinking out loud.
