The team to score first in the overtime wins. Each team has eleven players, which are divided into three groups within the teams; offense, defense and special team. Each group has a particular position on the field and collectively it plays in order to advance towards the opponent's goal line. Points can be scored through different ways. A touchdown, when the ball reaches the opponent's end zone scores the maximum (six) points. Other ways of scoring points include extra point, 2-point conversation, safety and field goal. The officiating crew consists of six people including the referee, umpire, the line judge, field judge, side judge and head linesman.
