GIRLS LACROSSE

US Lacrosse rules.

Ties
At the varsity level only, the following tie-breaking procedure will be used for all league and non-league contests:

1.   When the score is tied at the end of regular playing time, both teams will have a five-minute rest and toss a coin for choice of ends.

2.   Six minutes (two three-minute periods) of stop-clock overtime will be played.  The clock will be stopped after three minutes of play in order for teams to change ends with no delay for coaching.  The game will be restarted by a center draw. The team that is ahead at the end of six minutes wins the game.

3.   If the teams are still tied after six minutes have elapsed, the teams will have a three-minute rest and change ends.

4.   The winner will then be decided on a sudden-victory stop-clock overtime of no more than six minutes in length with the teams changing ends after three minutes. The game will be restarted by a center draw.  The team scoring the first goal wins the game.

5.   Play will continue with sudden victory stop-clock overtime periods of six minutes in length with three minutes in between and change of ends until a winning goal is scored.

6.  It is recommended that for a one-day tournament, the first six-minute overtime be omitted and the teams go immediately into sudden victory.
