Soccer scorebox question - URGENT HELP!

We had overtime here the other day in a playoff game. In the regular season, you don't know what's going to happen. In the post-season, Kansas spells it out. Except that they use the term "sudden victory." The AD didn't understand that this means the same as "sudden death" and insisted that it meant the overtime is played out, no matter how many goals are scored. He was the only one who thought this in the entire stadium.

Kansas has 2 10-minute periods, then 2 5-minute periods, then penalty kicks in the post-season. Regular-season formats can vary from day to day, depending on the league, rules changes, forgotten rules changes ("It was golden-goal last year coach; this year there's no overtime at all").

One year two league teams played overtime. The league that year had decided to leave games tied. The league commissioner let the outcome stand (The team which has dominated the league forever won).

 

I dread soccer* because here, it's a winter sport and typically it's cold as balls. (But we have so few teams who play it, we don't mess with summaries.)

*that plus one coach doesn't speaka de English all that good.

 

A 35-yard run up for kicks? Really? I wanna see that

 

It's a clusterfuck. MLS tried it back in the early days, and Massachusetts high schools used it for a time, and it's just a farce.
