Mercy Rule:

When the score difference reaches 20 points, the leading team is to defend from the ½ court. If the score extends to 50 points then the leading team is to defend from the 3 point arc. The defence may not extend past that point. The clock does not stop for any reason if the mercy rule is in effect. Maximum winning margin: 50 points.

Tied Grand Final:

In the case of a Grand Final being tied teams play an extra 3 minutes. If still tied at the end of this time, a 2nd overtime is played. 1 Time Out per extra time allowed. If still tied, shared premiership.
