View Full Version : Determining "winners"

With the recent decision by MLS to eliminate OT, in an effort to align itself more with the world at large, it got me wondering...
All the major leagues that I know of simply play 90 minutes and let the result stand. (I am speaking of league play, not competitions).
However, I find it difficult to think that the MLS was the ONLY league to have any sort of time added onto an end of a game to determine a potential winner.

So my question is: What other leagues out there play beyond the 90 minutes in event of a tie, and what is their method in determining a winner (golden goal, silver goal, shoot-out, PKs, etc...)

Thanks!

I heard during the world cup that the South Korean league decides ties in regular season league games on penalties (I'm not sure if that means after extra time).

They used to, but thankfully that stopped at the end of the 2000 season.
