Golden Point

Golden Point is a rule used in some sports, such as rugby league and Australian rules football, to determine the winner in a tied game during extra time. When the game reaches Golden Point, the first team to score any points—whether through a goal, try, or field goal—wins the match. This rule encourages a more aggressive and strategic approach as teams aim to score quickly, adding excitement and urgency to the game. Ultimately, it ensures that there is a clear winner rather than a drawn outcome, making the conclusion of the match more definitive.
