High-school overtime should not feel like a workaround.

In supported NFHS and California CIF style games, when the score is tied after regulation, StatHawk can enter an equal-possession overtime flow.

Tap Start Overtime, then choose who gets the first possession.

From there, overtime becomes try-focused. One team gets its try opportunity, then the other team gets its matching try opportunity.

If the game is still tied after both chances, a new overtime period can begin.

If one team leads after equal possessions, the game can finish cleanly.

That keeps overtime tied to the score, the play log, and the final game output.
