Overtime
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should regular season games be decided by kicks from the penalty mark.
EXCEPTION: Varsity in-season tournament games. In these games, where a winner is needed for advancement, regular overtime rules apply. The prescribed overtime periods MUST BE PLAYED. Then, if a tie still exists, go to kicks from the mark to decide advancement (rule book Pp. 84-85). The game will count as a tie for overall record, sectional seeding, etc.
Junior Varsity and Modified games should NEVER be decided by kicks from the mark.
