What are the XFL overtime rules?


Found them-

In XFL overtime, teams get five, one-play possessions from the 5-yard line, with successful conversions counting for two points. In overtime in one XFL game, Team A could score four times for eight additional points total and win, while Team B could score only twice for four additional points

After five rounds if the teams are still tied they go to sudden death one round for each team until one team scores and one does not. It will go on infinitely until a clear winner is crowned.

Sorry, I'm back. Got so excited I drank too much and passed out.

Production quality feels more NFL-ish than the AAF

 

[boozeman]

That is how officiating should be. None of the clown show.

 

[boozeman]

That is perhaps the weirdest fumble I have ever seen.

I do believe it was meant to protect the point spread that is visible.

This is basically The Last Boy Scout shit.

Yeah. You know I am right.

The QBing is going to be the life or death of this league.

Their salary structure is going to keep most but the truly desperate away.

If they want to make a run at it, they may want to consider paying the QBs more to make the better ones not on an NFL team actually want to play.

They are paying the QBs more. Salary structure is 50k for all players and up to 500k for the QBs.

Then they need to pay them more. Guys like Chad Kanoff are not going to make this league succeed.

They need the weirdos the NFL won't deal with like Kaepernick and Manziel.

They should also welcome all the pot-heads...

I know where they can find two good pass rushers.

They're even leaving the blue tent open and Kanoff's mic on so we get to see/hear him in pain

This was definitely a better roll out than the AAF

I only got to watch the first half because TTU was playing UT in basketball, but I agree, I thought they did well in their debut.

The Houston/LA game was somewhat enjoyable.

I wonder if they had to pay the Titans for the use of an oil derrick on their helmets

He'll be a Giant by June.

I wouldn't doubt that at all. Garrett obviously is going to have a lot of pull there.

 

[bbgun]

Tampa is .. not good.

 

[boozeman]

Tampa is .. not good.

Yeah, not terribly impressed. Aaron Murray in particular is awful.

Even with the enhanced design to speed the game up, they are all registering right at three hours.
