IN CASE<br />
OF A TIE<br />
EXTRA TIME AND PLACE<br />
KICKING COMPETITION<br />
(ABBREVIATED RULES)<br />
In the event of a tie at full time<br />
in a Guinness <strong>PRO14</strong> Semi-<br />
<strong>Final</strong> Qualifier, Semi-<strong>Final</strong> or<br />
the Guinness <strong>PRO14</strong> <strong>Final</strong><br />
then extra-time will be played,<br />
consisting of two periods, each<br />
of 10 minutes. If the score is still<br />
tied after extra-time, the Team<br />
that has scored the most tries<br />
in the match will be deemed<br />
the winner.<br />
If the Teams are still tied on<br />
points and tries at the end of<br />
extra-time then the winner<br />
will be determined by a Place<br />
Kick Competition. In the event<br />
that a Place Kick Competition<br />
is required, each Team will<br />
nominate three goal kickers<br />
who will take six place kicks<br />
between them from different<br />
positions along the 22 metre<br />
and 10 metre lines.<br />
The Team with the most place<br />
kicks scored will be the winner.<br />
If the Teams are tied at the end<br />
of their six kicks, then sudden<br />
death will apply. Only players<br />
in the playing area at the final<br />
whistle of extra-time may be<br />
nominated for the Place Kick<br />
Competition. No substituted<br />
players or players who have<br />
been shown a red card may<br />
take part at any time including<br />
any player who has received a<br />
yellow card and who remains<br />
in the sin bin at the time of the<br />
final whistle of extra-time.<br />
The above sets out a summary<br />
of certain provisions of the<br />
