This penalty lottery is now all but removed in many hockey tornaments (the real hockey, that is, as once played on grass, now on astroturf - not the "we can use both sides of the stick" easy game played on ice that you all like!!
)
Some cup competitions have a rule that in the event of a draw, if no result be had after extra time, then players start to be removed on each side after a set period. This continues, with both teams losing a player orat a time until a goal be scored, or the match has to g to penalties. Many festivals also have a spin on this - the penalty shuffle: the attacking guy starts on the 25 yard line and has a one on one with the keeper with 10 secs to score. Best of three or five shuffles. Never known what happens if it\'s still a tie after all the players have had a go though!
