Extra-time introduced for knock-out stages of all National Competitions

Two new elements have also been introduced to the 2015 National Fixtures schedule following a meeting of the Association’s Ard Chomhairle on November 29th. A decision was taken to assist in freeing up dates for fixtures at county level by avoiding play-offs to determine group positioning and also, in so far as is possible, to determine results on the day of the original fixture.
 
Across all national competitions, quarter-finals and semi-finals will automatically go to extra time if teams are drawn after normal playing time. If teams are still drawn after extra time, only then will the fixture go to a replay.
 
All-Ireland Finals are the only games that will automatically go to a replay if teams are level at the end of normal playing time. This new system will be introduced for one year initially.
 
To avoid play-offs, a system based on head-to-head results will be introduced to rank teams who finish on equal points in a group when two teams can progress to the further stages of a competition. For example, the top two in a group go into the semi-finals or the second and third placed go into the semi-finals.
