Ncaa ot
 

We are using NCAA OT procedures in our 9-man division.

Question: A throws an interception that is not run back for a score. Let's say the B player only gets as far as the 30 yd line. Does B take the ball there and have to go 70 yds or does B start a new series at the 25 as if A had failed to score in 4 downs?

B starts a new series at the 25, at the same end of the field as A's series.

If B had to start at the dead ball spot, what incentive would there be to intercept a pass?

Because if he takes it all the way for a score...the game is over and B wins on the TD...

You missed the point. Statistically, B will not score.

The point was that failing to score (a HUGE play) on a INT (a GOOD play) shouldn't result in a worse starting position for B's series on offense. And thankfully, it doesn't.

OTOH, they don't get a better starting spot if he makes it inside the opposing 25.

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

This ties for the dumbest question ever on the internet.

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. :D

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.

Thanks!
