During the regular season only one-overtime period will be played. In the playoffs, there will be a one-minute break between overtime periods. The overtime period will be repeated until a winner is declared. If a team is leading by 20 points or more in the final two minutes of the game, the mercy rule will be put into effect and the game will be over. After each time out, the official should record the number of the player who called the time-out and the time it was called.
