-If after 3 periods teams are still tied, 3v3 sudden death overtime occurs in a public room until a goal is scored. The first team to score in overtime wins. (5 minute periods played until someone scores)
-All goals scored in a game count regardless of what happens, it is up to the team leader to handle lag and other issues that could affect gameplay. (if a lag goal occurs, please note it when you post it in the post-game so it doesn't get added to their total points.)
