Tiebreakers

Regular season tie-breaker will follow the CIAC tournament tie-break procedures:
1. Immediately following the conclusion of the fourth quarter, a coin toss is to be held with the visiting team captain calling heads or tails. The winner of the toss shall be given the choice of the ball or playing defense. The loser shall be given the choice of direction to put the ball in play.

2. After a three minute rest period, during which both teams may confer with their coaches, the offensive team shall put the ball in play, first and ten, on the ten (10) yard line.

3. The rules for loss of possession are the same as during the regulation game. If a touchdown is scored the try for an extra point(s) will follow. Field goal attempts are permitted during any down. When a team scores via either a field goal or the try for point following a touchdown it gives up possession of the ball.

4. If the score remains tied after each team has been given one series of downs in an overtime period, then the procedure shall be repeated with other overtime periods until a game winner is determined. In this case, there shall be an intermission of two minutes. At the subsequent meeting of team captains, the loser of the overtime coin toss will be given first choice of the options. If additional overtime periods are required, then first options will be alternated with no coin toss.

5. Each team will be allowed one time out for each extra period, and any unused regulation game time-outs cannot be carried over nor any unused time outs in the overtime period by NFHS Rules.

6. Rules pertaining to offensive and defensive pass interference remain the same in the overtime period.
