End of Regulation

End of Regulation - If, at the end of regulation play (with the time limit to be set by the tournament director, usually from one to two hours) neither team has posted out, the team with the most points is the winner. If the teams have scored the same number of points at the end of regulation, overtime is required.

Overtime

Overtime - Who Goes First, etc. - Play continues from the point where play ended at regulation, with the current shooter being the first shooter of the round - either the player shooting, if any shots were remaining when time expired, or the player immediately following. One or more additional rounds of turns are played, with the number of rounds to be established by the tournament director, until either:

• one of the teams posts out, or
• at the end of the agreed upon number of rounds, the tie has been broken, and the team with the most points wins.

For example, at the end of regulation, both teams are tied with blue shooting. Blue would be the first shooter in the round, then black, then red, and then yellow. The end of yellow's turn would constitute the end of one round.
