Under hard cap, which condition determines the winner?

• A. The team with more points wins; if tied, the next point decides
• B. The team with more points wins unconditionally
• C. The game ends when the cap is reached regardless of score
• D. Overtime is required to determine winner

Answer: (B)

Under a hard cap, play ends exactly when the cap is reached, with no overtime or extra points. The winner is the team that has the higher score at that moment. If the scores are tied when the cap hits, the game ends in a draw. This setup means the outcome is decided by who is ahead at the deadline, not by the next point or by any overtime rule.
