WPFF Rules of the Game

Playoff overtime

Every playoff bracket, every division. A playoff game can't end in a tie. Regular-season games can still end tied.

  1. 1.Coin toss: the winner picks to go first or second on offense.
  2. 2.Each round: each team gets ONE play from the opponent's 5-yard line. A touchdown = 6 points. No extra points.
  3. 3.One team scores and the other doesn't: the team that scored wins. Both score or neither scores: play another round.
  4. 4.Up to 4 rounds.
  5. 5.Still tied after round 4: each team gets ONE play from its OWN 5-yard line. The longest play (most yards gained) wins. Exactly equal: repeat.
  6. 6.No clock in overtime.
  7. 7.One timeout per team for the whole overtime.
  8. 8.No blitzes in overtime.
  9. 9.Timeouts and blitzes from regulation do NOT carry over.
