If a game is tied after the end of regulation, a GoFundMe page will be immediately activated for both teams. Whichever team gets more donations in a 15 minute time span will get the win. All proceeds will go to a non-profit where the upper management salaries make up 95% of the non-profit's expenses.

Strong stroll for a mangy stray
Upon the start of overtime each player is replaced by his son or daughter. The ones who don't have their own children will have to locate a child nearby to play for them, or else borrow a child from another teammate. Then we will see which team has the best dads who can yell the most advice from the sidelines

Each side gets assigned a team in a randomly selected sporting event somewhere outside of the united states.

The entire game, whatever it is, is screened on the jumbotron. If your proxy team wins their game, you win yours.

Imagine the commentators frantically trying to explain the rules of jai-alai or cricket or mongolian wrestling to their bewildered audience.

Both teams get a possession but it's at the same time; your offense at your own 20, your defense against their offense at their 20. Anybody on your team can tackle anybody on their team, first score wins.

Just go straight to a sudden death FG shootout, start at 20 yards and back them up 10 yards at a time. Maybe go to 5 yards if you hit 50. Rekick if both miss.

This, but each player can kick only once.

Each team's offense gets 5 minutes total to score. Play is otherwise as normal, no sudden death scores or anything, but once the losing team's 5 minutes finally expire, that's it. So like...if you're still down in OT after kicking 3 field goals and the clock runs out on your offense? That's game.


It's kinda like king of the hill. Normal play, aside from riskier playcalls and time management being more important than ever. There'd even be an advantage for settling for a field goal early; if you get into opposing territory quickly, you can put points on the board while wasting the least amount of time.

The ball is placed in the middle of the field and both teams start on opposite end zones. Then a game is played by Rugby rules and the first team to score wins.

The fundamental issue with overtime is that it is approached in a way that is philosophically anti-competition.

Overtime is designed to create finality as quickly as possible. The fairness of the result is secondary to the expedient earning of that result.

Until OT is treated as something other than a burden to networks and audiences it will always remain functionally unfair

I guess my strongest thought in all of this is that if OT was a playoffs-only thing that you probably only saw once or twice per season, then there would be a lot less pressure to keep it as short as possible.

You skipped over an entire section of extra time before penalties happen though. There's a 30 min extra period added on, if at the end of that, the teams cant be separated, then it goes to penalties.


And in a lot of knockout competitions (not international) the tie is split over two legs, so each team can play home and away. Away goals count for extra to reduce the likeliness of a draw/extra time

Your removing the emotional side of things though. Mainly "talented" players making GBS threads themselves in pressure situations.


And the insane work that GK's put in to study the opposition players penalty stance before games.

I think the looming specter of ending a game in a tie would goad coaches into being more aggressive at the end.

Now Jason Garrett might not play for a 54 yard field goal attempt if the only thing it's getting him is a 0-0-1 tacked on to his record.

Don't they still do replay games for draws in single leg knockout tournaments or did that get canned because it's not practical with modern TV/event scheduling

No OT in the regular season, OT in the playoffs is an extra quarter. If it's still tied after that, coin flip decides the winner, gently caress you finish the god drat game.
