In overtime period, the points gained in every possesion, example:on
regulation team a and b are tie by 14 - 14,  the first period gets tied by a td
and extrapoint (7-7) plus (14- 14)= 21-21, on second period theres a FG by
the two teams (3-3) plus (21-21)= 24-24. on period two team A gets a FG
and Team B a TD, (3-6), the scores is 27 - 30. Are these points added? or
just the ones gotten in regulation time. Do they appear in the standings?

Answer
Roberto, hello!

The total points are added in the final score of that game, and will appear in the standings.  

I have attached the rules if you would like to review.

Take Care!
