Golden Point (sports)

Golden Point is a rule used in some sports to determine the winner in a drawn match. When the game is tied at the end of regular play, an extra period is played. In this period, the first team to score points, whether by a goal, try, or any scoring method, wins immediately. This rule creates an exciting climax and encourages aggressive play, as teams aim to score quickly. Golden Point is commonly used in sports like rugby league and Australian rules football, enhancing the drama and intensity of close matches.
