Australian-rules football had a "minor" problem a few years back when the championship game down there was tied after one overtime.

Seems they had no further tiebreakers, or provision to extend the game, or other similar items. So the "head honcho" of the league announced that the game would be replayed one week later.


Had a playoff match in OC flipped by one penalty. The alliances were 5 points apart without a penalty, red (I think) in the lead. Problem was, somebody on red committed a secret passage violation and was flagged for it. Blue got 5 points (score is now tied) and the first tiebreaker happens to be cleaner match (fewer penalty points). Blue won the match.
