• Half-time will last 3 minutes, unless both teams agree to start the second half before the 3 minutes are up.

• If the game remains tied after overtime, restart the game with the same setup, and the first team to score will win.

• In the event of a outage of power, accidental unplugging, system freeze or some other event not in either player’s control that would not allow the participants to finish the game, the game will be restarted using the “situational setup” to exactly match the score, settings, quarter, time and possession so the game can continue as it was.
