CFL guidelines committee proposes finish to regular-season tie video games

The CFL guidelines committee is proposing the elimination of tie video games in the course of the common season.

If a recreation is tied after regulation time, a most of two extra time rounds are held with groups gaining possession on the opponent’s 35-yard line.  Should the rating stay even after two possessions, the sport goes down as a tie within the standings.

Under the principles committee proposal, if the rating stays even following extra time, it might be determined by alternating performs from the opposition’s three-yard line till one group scores and the opposite doesn’t.

CFL playoff video games, if tied after regulation, at present go to the two-possession extra time format. If the competition stays even after these possessions, extra time continues till a winner is decided.

Another committee proposal entails the timing for the ultimate three minutes of a half in a recreation.

It recommends a 20-second play clock stay in impact somewhat than the 35-second clock, which is scheduled to be adopted this season.

Both suggestions are in keeping with a league supply that requested anonymity as a result of the CFL hasn’t formally introduced the proposals. They nonetheless require approval from the CFL’s board of governors.

CFL commissioner Stewart Johnston is scheduled to carry a teleconference name later Wednesday.
