Atom Overtime Rules for CDMFA Play-Off Games 2008

The following rules with relation to tie games in CDMFA play-offs have been adopted. Overtime rules rules are as defined in the Canadian Rule Book for Tackle Football (2006) with the following exceptions, they are as follows:

A) At the end of a tied game, players will be sent back to their respective benches and the officials will meet in the middle of the field to review these overtime rules.

B) The captains from each team will be escorted to the center of the field ... The Home team will have choice for overtime.

C) Home Team will choose from the following options: 1) field the offence or defense team to start the series or, 2) which end of the field to use for the overtime play.

D) The team on offense will start a series (first set) from the 35 yd line of their opponent. (short end of the field). After that series, the other team will start a series from the same 35 yd line. If still tied, then they will have another set of series (second) from the 35. If still tied, then they will have another set of series (third) from the 25. If still tied, then the series (4th and subsequent) will
continue from the 25 but any touchdowns will require a two point conversion attempt (kicking for Atom and Peewee).

E) SCORING- Current CDMFA scoring rules are in effect. A kicked convert is worth two (2) points; a passing or rushing attempt is worth one (1) point. Teams scoring a touchdown are not required to attempt a two (2) point convert after the first overtime series is played.

F) TIME OUTS- there will not be any team time outs allowed in overtime.

2007 Atom Playoff Results

The Edmonton Chargers capped their season with a 27-12 win over the Mill Woods Maulers to claim the mantle of Provincial Tier I Atom Champions for 2007. They had to overcome some quality opponents to do so; the Black Raiders and the St. Albert Jaguars both proved worthy opponents.

The Black Raiders went on to claim the Tier II title, defeating the St. Albert Vikings 8-0 in the final. At Tier III , it was an all-Sherwood Park affair as the Broncos defeated the Eskimos by an 18-12 margin. And at Tier IV the Silver Raiders overcame the Spruce Grove Cougars 6-0.

Congratulations to our winners, and especially to the Atom Chargers on their Provincial Tier I Title!
