O.t

[fonzzy07]

I was watching a varsity game tonight and it went to O.T. They began the OT with a jump. This seemed strange to me so I went to the rule book. It does not say anything that I can find.
From the following I am led to assume that it should be alternating possesion am I correct.
5-7-3 The length of each extra period shall be four minutes (or half the time of a regulation quarter for non-varsity contests). As many such periods as are necessary to break the tie shall be played. Extra periods are an extension of the fourth quarter.
thanks

Try 6-2-1.

Boys game I did tonight went OT. Home team wound up winning by 5, mostly due to some stupid fouls by the visitors. Overall though, it was a pretty good game.

Actually, 6-2-2

ART. 2 . . . To start the game and each extra period, the ball shall be put in play in the center restraining circle by a jump ball between any two opponents.

Actually 6-1-1 if you're going sequentially...
