dumb noob stupid question. Why there no overtime in water polo ?

Maybe 'cause the physical energy loss is huge; also, there are lots of players who foul out during regular time

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

because FINA and IOC didn't want to have anymore amazing, spectacular, unforgettable games like :ITA vs :YUG (1986 world champs final and 1987 Universiade final) and :ITA vs :ESP (1992 Olympic Games Gold Medal match) :bones: :sick: :zip:

The man was looking for a logical explanation, not for poetry in motion

well, there's no logical explanation...they just decided to eliminate OTs

 

p.s. being serious, the official explanation is that FINA wanted to keep all games in the usual "time windows" to please the TV networks and their written in stone schedules
