A common complaint of penalty shootouts is that they are not fair, in that they do not determine the best team in that sport, only the best team at penalty shots. It is usually only used when a winner is needed (for example, a round where one team must be eliminated) and other methods such as Extra Time and Sudden Death have failed to determine a winner. Sports in which a penalty shootout may be used include:
It has been proposed that a "drop-goal shootout" could be used for other football codes such as Rugby Union or Rugby League , with players taking kicks on goal as they would for penalties. The difference in comparison to other sports is the lack of goalkeeper from the opposing side to defend the goal. A "45-metre kick shootout" is sometimes used in Gaelic Football matches, due to delays caused by having to do replays. EXTERNAL LINKS FINA water polo rules for penalty shootouts |
