Popis: | A tie-breaking point (TBP) for football is proposed. When a game becomes tied, the team whose score produced the tie then attempts a TBP, what is normally a two-point conversion, but scored differently: if this play succeeds the offensive team scores one point; if this play fails the defensive team scores one point. Thus the tie is broken. Examples are given. The special case of a scoreless tie is treated. Why the success rate for a two-point conversion or a TBP should be 50% is discussed. Results of the reactions from an informal survey of university football coaches to the suggested TBP are appended. |
