Overtime:

Overtime is defined when two teams are tied at one less than the game total before any cap (10-10 in a game to 11, 14-14 in a game to 15). You must still win by two points in overtime unless the point cap is reached first. Teams have 1 timeout in overtime regardless of whether any timeouts remain from regulation.

Soft cap:

Finish the current point, then add two to the higher score and play to that. You need to win to the original game total(11 or 15) & win by 2 OR you need to win to the point cap(see example below). Timeouts in soft cap are allowed provided you have remaining timeouts from regulation.

Example: In a game that is 12-10 when soft cap goes off, the point cap is now 14.

A) If team A scores 13-10, game is over.

B) If team B makes a comeback to 12-12, then play to 14.

C) Or you go to hard cap due to time

Hard cap:

Finish the current point. If tied, play one more point. If not tied, team with more points wins. Timeouts are in hard cap provided you have remaining timeouts from regulation.
