Major League Soccer Rules

The league was created in a very Americanized way, firstly, the time is 90 minutes with a countdown, as long as the time is counted down, then the time is 90 minutes. The first is a 90-minute countdown, which ends the game as soon as the clock runs out. In the event of a tie, the game is decided by a unique 35-yard penalty kick. Offensive players start with the ball outside the penalty area and must shoot the ball into the opposing team's goal within five seconds, while the goalkeeper can stop the opposing team from scoring with a strike.

But the unique rules didn't appeal to U.S. viewers and kept fans of traditional soccer away from Major League Soccer, so the league eliminated the single-goal tiebreaker after a draw in 1999.

Major League Soccer set up a Golden Goal format for the 2000-2003 seasons, in which if two teams were tied within 90 minutes, a five-minute overtime period would be played in the second and second halves, with the first goal scored in the extra time period going in favor of the first team.

The Golden Goal format was eliminated for the 2004 season, and the traditional 90-minute tiebreaker was played for a single goal apiece. The rules of the competition are now identical to those of mainstream soccer matches around the world.

The NBA is similar to the NBA, also divided into the Eastern Conference and Western Conference teams, also using the regular season and playoffs double league mode, the end of the regular season were listed in the division standings and the total standings. 2015 season began the top two East and West and the total points of the best eight teams **** 12 teams in the playoffs stage.
