Ncaa ot

[Texas Aggie]

Don't make NCAA OT hard. Its very simple:

-- coin toss winner picks either offense/defense OR side of field; usual pick is defense; loser takes other choice and there is no defer; winner has choice in odd number OT periods.

-- each team has 1 possession starting at the 25 (unless moved by penalty) and they have one time out per period (each team has offensive possession); as stated, only exception is defensive score which makes their series unnecessary.

-- winner is team ahead at end of period; if second period, coin toss loser has choice in even OT periods; if third period, each team can only score 2 points on a try -- no field goals on a try; field goals during scrimmage downs OK.

-- dead ball fouls carry over periods, or if the team fouled scores, they have the option to enforce on try or next period.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell.

One other thing to keep in mind: a possession ends when a team losses possession of the ball. If A fumbles, B recovers and runs a few yards and fumbles, A does not get a 1st and 10. The possession is over and either the period ends or B takes over.

Not sure what you are trying to say here, but if you are suggesting that if Team A scores a TD and Team B commits a personal foul during or after the TD, the only option is to enforce on the Try. In regular play the team would have the option to enforce on the Try or the kickoff, but since there is no kickoff in extra periods the only option is on the Try. 10-2-5-a-1

No... he's referring to a foul AFTER a try, or after a series is over and you are switching.

I see that now. Young guy with a Senior moment.

Actually, I was ambiguous. I had reviewed a couple of ARs after a play a couple of weeks ago and got sloppy. Good catch, Jason.
