Football overtime

[jstnrgrs]

NFL overtime: Starts just like a new game with a cointoss and ends with the first score. (In regular season games, if the overtime period goes the full 15 minutes without anyone scoring, the game ends in a tie.)

College Overtime: each team gets on position from their opponent's 25 yard line. Team with the higher score wins. If there is still a tie, do it again.

NFL Eurpoe / Arena League: Starts like a new game, but doesn't become sudden death untill both teams have had the ball at least once.

XFL: One team (determined by the choice of the team that won the scramble to start the game) gets four plays to score starting from its opponents 20 yard line (field goals are not allowed untill the fourth play). The other team then gets as many plays to score as the first team took. If both teams score the same number of points, they do it again.

jstnrgrs' idea: One team (detrmined by a coin toss) gets the ball on its own 5 yard line. The game then proceeds as normal (4 downs to get ten yards, punt on 4th down, etc.) and is sudden death.
