Until 2004, Georgia used a "penetration rule" to decide OT situations. Now we will be using the 15 yard line rule similiar to the NCAA rule. By the way I hated the peneration rule because it required you to keep up with the offense's deepest penetration into the defense's territory and penetration was wiped out if the offense scored. All in all it was a big mess. What are you guys using in other states?

That why I said it is similar? We will start on the 15 yd line instead of the 25yd line. All other rules are basically the same as NCAA. [/B][/QUOTE] ### Well good luck. You just finished playing 48 minutes using NF rules, then switch to OT and use rules basically the same as NCAA. Phew that will be fun. Good thing GA has now ruled to disallow protests. If there is ever a time to get the rules messed up it will be here in OT. |

Actually, GA began using the new OT procedure last year. I had to use it one time last year. It is far more simpler to administer that the old penetration OT that was in place since the Fordham (old Exec. Sec.) days. I call it the modified NCAA OT as everything is the same except for the beginning point is the 15-yard line instead of the 25-yard line. I also happened to be working the Auburn/Georgia game that went for 5 rotations and caused the rule to be changed to having to go for 2 points after the second rotation.

I don't want to dwell on this too much longer as it not something that really applies to NF football in my area, but during the overtime (we're talking just for Georgia now) if team-B gains possession say on a failed TRY or a missed FG attempt caught in the EZ, they can advance for a possible score?

OK, thanks SoGARef.
That was the part of Goldcoastump's statement I had hard time believing. Team B can score under NCAA rules and I couldn't believe it when he indicated you would start at 15 yard line and use all the other NCAA extra period rules. It would be a terrible burden on the officials had that be the case. |
