Scottish Premier League
A season , which runs from August ( except in 2011 -- 12 , when that season began in July ) until May , was divided into two phases . During the first phase , each club played three matches against every other team , either once at home and twice away , or vice versa . After this first phase of matches , by which time all clubs had played 33 matches , the league split into a `` top six '' and a `` bottom six '' . Each club then played a further five matches against the other five teams in their own section . Points achieved during the first phase of 33 matches were carried forward to the second phase , but the teams competed only within their own sections during the second phase . After the first phase was completed , clubs could not move out of their own section in the league , even if they achieved more or fewer points than a higher or lower ranked team , respectively .
Denver
Denver has been home to two National Hockey League teams . The Colorado Rockies played from 1976 to 1982 , but became the New Jersey Devils . The Colorado Avalanche joined in 1995 , after relocating from Quebec City . While in Denver , they have won two Stanley Cups in 1996 and in 2001 . The Denver Nuggets joined the American Basketball Association in 1967 and the National Basketball Association in 1976 . The Avalanche and Nuggets have played at Pepsi Center since 1999 . The Major League Soccer team Colorado Rapids play in Dick 's Sporting Goods Park , an 18,000 - seat soccer - specific stadium opened for the 2007 MLS season in the Denver suburb of Commerce City . The Rapids won the MLS Cup in 2010 .
American football rules
A delay of game penalty , false start , or similar penalty , by the offense results in a 5 - yard penalty assessed for the try . Typically , penalties charged against the defense give the offensive two options : half the distance to the goal for the try , or assessing the full penalty on the ensuing kickoff . Since the try is not timed by the game clock , if a touchdown is scored as regulation time expires ( and game clock subsequently reads 0 : 00.0 ) , the try is still allowed to be conducted . This instance is relatively common as teams score a game - tying ( or game - winning ) extra point after regulation has expired . During sudden - death overtime , particularly in the NFL , if a team scores a touchdown in the overtime period , the game is immediately over , and the try is not attempted . In NCAA overtime , if the second team to possess the ball in the overtime scores a touchdown which puts them ahead of the opponent in points the game ends immediately and no try is attempted . The officials ' signal for a successful try , whether an extra point or a two - point conversion , is the same as for a touchdown . After the try , the team that scored the touchdown kicks off to the opposing team . Defunct
Major League Baseball wild card
A `` wild card '' rule was used in the 1981 season after a players ' strike wiped out the `` middle third '' of the season . The owners decided that the winners ( in each division ) of either `` half '' of the abbreviated season would make playoffs , with the caveat that if the same team won both halves then the team from the division with the second - best record from the second half would enter the playoffs as a wild card . However , the wild - card rule was not actually used since all four divisions had different first half and second - half winners . As a result of the hastily contrived format , the Cincinnati Reds finished the regular season with the best record in all of baseball ( 66 - 42 . 611 ) but failed to qualify for the playoffs because they finished 0.5 game behind the Dodgers in the first half and 1.5 games behind the Astros in the second half . The Astros finished 8 games back in the first half and the Dodgers 6 back in the second .
Survivor (franchise)
Challenges can be played for rewards , immunity , or both . Rewards include food , survival equipment like flint , tarps , or fishing gear , luxury items , and short getaways from camp . Before the merge , the entire winning tribe will enjoy these rewards . Post-merge , only one player may win the reward but will be given the opportunity to select one or more other players to bring along with them on it . Individual challenge rewards may also include an advantage that can be used at the subsequent immunity challenge , such as advancing directly into the final round of the challenge without having to participate in the first round .
Major League Baseball transactions
To be eligible for a team 's postseason roster , a player must be on any of the following : ( a ) the 40 - man roster , ( b ) the 60 - day disabled list , or ( c ) the bereavement list as of August 31 at midnight ET . The only exception is that a player who is on the disabled list at the end of the regular season may be replaced on the postseason roster by any other player who was in the organization on August 31 , with the approval of the Commissioner . All players on the team 's roster during the season will be eligible to receive a World Series ring after the team wins the World Series .
American football rules
Three minutes before the start of the game , the referee meets with captains from both teams for a coin toss . The visiting team calls the toss . The winner of the toss may defer their choice to the start of the second half , or they may take first choice of :
Monday Night Football
The problem of having a national spotlight game which during the season 's most critical weeks late in the year probably would not show the most important game of the week was long known by the league and network . As a result of this , the NFL wished to move the `` Game of the Week '' idea to Sunday nights as to make flex scheduling possible . This was a move which would ultimately mean the end of Monday Night Football on ABC ( cable games are protected from the NFL 's flexible scheduling rule adopted for the 2006 -- 07 season ; the new rule applies only to CBS , Fox , and NBC 's Sunday night games ) . The league currently has no interest in expanding flexible scheduling to include Monday Night Football , citing the logistical issues of moving games back and forth between Sundays and Mondays .
National Football League on television
First , bonus coverage offered after any early time slot games can not be shown past the start of the late time slot ( either 4 : 20 ET for the doubleheader network or 4 : 25 ET for the non-doubleheader network ) . This prevents people from continuing to watch the bonus coverage instead of seeing the beginning of the late doubleheader network 's game ( which is usually either their local team or the network 's featured game ) . Again , the networks may show highlights of the game , and usually will at the earliest opportunity . The network broadcasting the single game will sometimes show each play as soon as it ends as part of its post-game show . A station originally getting the game featured during bonus coverage will stay with it unless they are leaving to show a local team .
UEFA Champions League
In August 2016 , UEFA announced changes in the access list of the tournament , driven to avoid the creation of a European Super League . The top four clubs from the four top - ranked national associations will receive guaranteed qualification automatically for the group stage . The Europa League holders also will automatically qualify for the group stage . However , the plan passed by UEFA caused outrage among smaller associations . After his election as the new UEFA president , Aleksander Čeferin said that he would review the new system . In December 2016 , UEFA confirmed the plan will go on .
Stanley Cup
The winners shall return the Cup in good order when required by the trustees so that it may be handed over to any other team which may win it . Each winning team , at its own expense , may have the club name and year engraved on a silver ring fitted on the Cup . The Cup shall remain a challenge cup , and should not become the property of one team , even if won more than once . The trustees shall maintain absolute authority in all situations or disputes over the winner of the Cup . If one of the existing trustees resigns or drops out , the remaining trustee shall nominate a substitute . The
UEFA Champions League
In its present format , the UEFA Champions League begins in late June with four knockout qualifying rounds and a play - off round . The 6 surviving teams enter the group stage , joining 26 teams qualified in advance . The 32 teams are drawn into eight groups of four teams and play each other in a double round - robin system . The eight group winners and eight runners - up proceed to the knockout phase that culminates with the final match in May . The winner of the UEFA Champions League qualifies for the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup .
Free agent
In some leagues , free agency has deadlines . For example , under the most recent NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement , restricted free agents who do not sign contracts by December 1 of a given year will be ineligible to play in the National Hockey League for the balance of that season . However , other leagues ( such as the National Basketball Association ) have no such restrictions .
National Football League on television
Counterprogramming , where other networks attempt to offer a program which is intended to compete with the NFL audience for a regular season game , playoff game or the Super Bowl ( as Fox did in 1992 with a special segment of the sketch comedy series In Living Color during Super Bowl XXVI ) , has also been heavily discouraged with the consolidation of rights among the major networks ; ESPN generally airs low - profile niche sports such as professional bowling ( although one tournament is a pro-am tournament featuring NBA stars ) , non-conference men 's and women 's college basketball ( often high - profile non-conference games usually occur in November and December during the Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks ) , and minor league sports on Sunday afternoons , along with basic audio - only ' carousel ' reports of current NFL scores by reporters from NFL stadiums on their other networks resembling those on ESPN Radio or Fox Sports Radio . Since 2013 , ESPN has done some limited counterprogramming using Canadian Football League coverage from sister network and licensing partner TSN ; in most cases , ESPN carries games in times when the NFL is not airing ( except in cases , such as the Grey Cup , when a conflict is unavoidable ) . ESPN has also counterprogrammed the NFL 's Thursday Night Football games with college football games of its own ; the network had been carrying college football on Thursdays years before the NFL decided to play regularly on that night .
Direct free kick
A goal may be scored directly from a direct free kick , but only against the opposing side ( i.e. an own goal may not be scored ) . Should the ball directly land in the kicking team 's own goal , a corner kick is awarded to the opposing team . A player may be penalised for an offside offence committed from a direct free kick ; with the exception of receiving the ball directly from a goal kick or corner kick .
Basketball
Five players from each team may be on the court at one time . Substitutions are unlimited but can only be done when play is stopped . Teams also have a coach , who oversees the development and strategies of the team , and other team personnel such as assistant coaches , managers , statisticians , doctors and trainers .
FIFA World Cup
An All - Star Team consisting of the best players of the tournament has also been announced for each tournament since 1998 .
Subway Series
Although organized games between all - stars from New York teams against all - stars from Brooklyn teams date back to the 1850s , the first actual New York - Brooklyn `` World Championship Series '' occurred in 1889 , a full nine years before Brooklyn was incorporated into the City of New York by the Greater New York Act of 1898 , when the New York Giants squared off against ( and defeated ) the Brooklyn Bridegrooms , also called the `` Trolley Dodgers '' , of the American Association . The following season , Brooklyn withdrew from the Association and joined the League , setting the stage for many future intra-city competitions .
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
Once a contestant enters the main game , they are asked increasingly difficult general knowledge questions by the host . Each features four possible answers , in which the contestant must give the correct answer . Doing so wins them a certain amount of money , with tackling much tougher questions increasing their prize fund . During their game , the player has a set of lifelines that they may use only once to help them with a question , as well as two `` safety nets '' - if a contestant gets a question wrong , but had reached a designated cash value during their game , they will leave with that amount as their prize . While the first few questions are generally easy , subsequent ones after them will prompt the host to ask if the answer they gave is their `` final answer '' - if it is , then it is locked in and can not be changed . If a contestant feels unsure about an answer , and does not wish to play on , they can walk away with the money they have won , to which the host will ask them to confirm this as their final decision ; in such cases , the host will usually ask them to state what answer they would have gone for , and reveal if it would have been correct or incorrect . Original
Long jump
Each competitor has a set number of attempts . That would normally be three trials , with three additional jumps being awarded to the best 8 or 9 ( depending on the number of lanes on the track at that facility , so the event is equatable to track events ) competitors . All legal marks will be recorded but only the longest legal jump counts towards the results . The competitor with the longest legal jump ( from either the trial or final rounds ) at the end of competition is declared the winner . In the event of an exact tie , then comparing the next best jumps of the tied competitors will be used to determine place . In a large , multi-day elite competition ( like the Olympics or World Championships ) , a set number of competitors will advance to the final round , determined in advance by the meet management . A set of 3 trial round jumps will be held in order to select those finalists . It is standard practice to allow at a minimum , one more competitor than the number of scoring positions to return to the final round , though 12 plus ties and automatic qualifying distances are also potential factors . ( For specific rules and regulations in United States Track & Field see Rule 185 ) .
National Football League on television
National broadcasts of marquee matches occur on Thursday , Sunday and Monday nights . NBC has broadcast rights to Sunday night games . These are televised under a special `` flexible schedule '' that allows Sunday afternoon games to be moved to prime - time beginning with Week 5 of the season . NBC also has broadcast rights to the opening night kickoff game .
Free agent
The economics of free agency are disadvantageous for team owners ; it can lead to bidding wars -- and increased player salaries mean decreased owner profits . Restrictions on free agency have therefore been preferred by North American team owners since the abolition of the reserve clause . For example , a draft can be used to keep young and talented players from generating bidding wars and causing higher player salaries throughout the league . Furthermore , some teams which play in large market cities , and hence have a larger revenue stream , would be able to outbid other teams for talented players . Some leagues , such as the National Football League and the National Basketball Association have imposed salary cap rules in order to avert such bidding wars ( the NFL itself was created in an effort to prevent bidding wars that had crippled preceding regional leagues like the Ohio League and Pittsburgh circuit ) .

Direct free kick
A direct free kick is a method of restarting play in a game of association football that is awarded to a team following most types of fouls . In a direct free kick , the fouled team is entitled to freely kick the ball from the spot of the foul , with opponents required to be at least 10 yards ( 9.1 m ) from the ball . The kicking team may score a goal directly from a direct free kick , that is , without the ball having first touched another player . This is in contrast with an indirect free kick -- a restart with a similar procedure that is usually awarded for technical infringements -- where the ball must contact another player before a goal is scored . If a player commits a foul punishable by a direct freekick within his / her own penalty area , a penalty kick is awarded instead .
Direct free kick
There are various techniques used with direct free kicks . First , the player taking the direct free kick may blast the ball as hard as he can , usually with the laces of the boot . Alternatively , some players try to curl the ball around the keeper or the wall , with the inside or outside the boot . Additionally , certain free - kick specialists will choose to kick the ball with minimal spin , making the ball behave unpredictably in the air ( similar to the action of a knuckleball pitch in baseball ) . The kicker may also attempt to drive the shot under the wall formed by the opposition defenders . Free kick takers may also attempt to cross the ball to their centre - backs or strikers to get a header on goal , since they usually are the tallest members of the team , especially if the position of the free kick is close to the wings .
American football
A field goal ( FG ) , worth three points , is scored when the ball is placekicked or dropkicked through the uprights and over the crossbars of the defense 's goalposts . After a PAT attempt or successful field goal the scoring team must kick the ball off to the other team .

In cases where teams finishing in the same position across different groups are compared for determining which teams advance to the next stage , the criteria is decided by the confederation and require the approval of FIFA ( regulations Article 20.8 ) .
Rock Band (video game)
For the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions , rather than complete predetermined lists of songs ( like in previous Guitar Hero games ) , players complete unique sets of activities at each venue . Performances consist of single songs , multiple song sets , `` make your own '' setlists , and mystery setlists . Players are also faced with decisions that Harmonix refers to as `` risk - versus - reward . '' For certain performances , bands are faced with an optional challenge that requires the band to average a certain number of stars for their gig in order to reap the rewards . Bands can also choose to perform a benefit concert ( earning no in - game money but gaining more fans ) or `` sell - out '' ( earning more in - game money but losing fans ) . Additionally , for certain gigs , bands can compete for band personnel , as well as a recording deal with a record label . The `` Endless Setlist '' provides players with all - day concert experience , as the setlist requires playing the entire game disc 's setlist from start to finish .
Major League Baseball Wild Card Game
Even though one of the stated purposes of the Wild Card game was to create disadvantages for Wild Card teams in the postseason , Wild Card Game winners have won six of the first twelve Division Series played under the new format . Of the best - of - five Division Series lost by Wild Card Game winners , three lost in five games , two lost in four games , and only one team has been swept . The 2014 postseason featured the first Series sweeps involving Wild Card Game winners , but they were both in favor of the AL Wild Card Kansas City Royals who swept both the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and the Baltimore Orioles en route to the second World Series featuring both NL and AL Wild Card Game winners , with the San Francisco Giants defeating the Royals in seven games . The first all Wild Card World Series also involved the Giants , but they were on the losing end , losing the 2002 World Series to the then Anaheim Angels in seven games .

FIFA World Cup
The host country is now chosen in a vote by FIFA 's Council . This is done under an exhaustive ballot system . The national football association of a country desiring to host the event receives a `` Hosting Agreement '' from FIFA , which explains the steps and requirements that are expected from a strong bid . The bidding association also receives a form , the submission of which represents the official confirmation of the candidacy . After this , a FIFA designated group of inspectors visit the country to identify that the country meets the requirements needed to host the event and a report on the country is produced . The decision on who will host the World Cup is usually made six or seven years in advance of the tournament . However , there have been occasions where the hosts of multiple future tournaments were announced at the same time , as was the case for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups , which were awarded to Russia and Qatar , with Qatar becoming the first Middle Eastern country to host the tournament .

Fergie 's performance of `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' prior to the game received heavy negative criticism and mockery online . The rendition -- described as `` unusual '' and `` bizarre '' -- was met with laughter from the arena crowd , and All - Star Draymond Green was shown chuckling on the television broadcast . The following day , Fergie said she `` wanted to try something special for the NBA , '' but it `` did n't strike the intended tone . ''
