[edit] American and Canadian football

Perhaps it is time to spin this section off to its own article? It has grown quite large. Cheers --Daveb 03:13, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] BE->AE page move

I'm rather surprised to see it wasn't discussed here first, since it seems to be inconsistent with Wikipedia guidelines regarding different country's versions of English. 24.18.215.132 01:10, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Longest Overtime Games

A short list of the longest overtime games of each sport should be included in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.105.21.234 (talk) 19:22, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

The longest NFL and Pro football games are listed as under 2 hours...? Is this simply actual playing time? i.e. 4x15 min regulation and 2x15 min overtime for a 90 min game? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.193.144.93 (talk) 22:44, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Uh, isn't that obvious? I put a note. 128.227.7.105 21:19, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] basketball

in highschool basketball play, the Overtime period is in fact 5 minutes, not 4 like the current article suggests —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ngoogs (talk • contribs) 15:43, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Association Football

I've noticed over the past couple of years a tendency for commentators and journalists to use "overtime" to refer to stoppage time added at the end of a half, not got any concrete references atm, but might it be worth including when I can find one? 82.13.190.199 (talk) 09:40, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
