Overtime & Seedings

 

Overtime & Seeding 


To keep games competitive and the event running on time, please review the following Overtime and Seeding rules for today’s tournament:

 

Overtime Rules:

  • If a game is tied at the end of regulation, the following overtime procedure applies:
    1. 1st Overtime: 2-minute stop-clock period
    2. 2nd Overtime (if needed): Sudden Death – first team to score any points wins
    3. Each team receives 1 timeout per overtime period (no carryovers from regulation)⏳


Seeding Criteria (for Bracket Play):

  1. Win-Loss Record
  2. Head-to-Head Result (if applicable)
  3. Point Differential (Max +15 per game)
  4. Points Allowed
  5. Coin Flip (as a last resort)

 Important: Blowout scores are capped to prevent unsportsmanlike play. Do not run up the score—anything beyond a 15-point margin will not count toward seeding.

 Reminder:

For any seeding disputes or overtime clarifications, please see the Tournament Director or check in at the front desk.

Let’s keep it competitive, organized, and fun!
