I play similar games in other forums. In one forum we have a rule which I would like to discuss with you.
Knockout matches cannot end in a draw. If the scores are levelled after 80 minutes, there are the extra times. In our games, whenever a match goes into OT, it is always considered a 1-point game, regardless of the final score. Example:
After regulation, France and Argentina have both scored 20 points. In the OT, France score 20 points, while Argentina just 3, so the official score is 40-23 for France. However, for the matter of our game, the final score is 21-20 for France: France have won for 1 point not for 17. I think this is a fair rule.
Then: what about tries? I also think that we should only consider regulation and not extra time.
What do you think?
