ice Hockey

In ice hockey, a shootout is sometimes used after the overtimes.

Soccer

There is a penalty shoot-out in football.

Handball

Beach handball

If in beach handball both halves are won by another team, a "shootout" is carried out (also called a penalty shootout). A coin toss is made to decide which team can decide who will start the first penalty. There is always alternating shooting. The team that has scored more points after five throws wins. There is a point if you hit the other goal with the ball. There are two points for doing a spin shoot (pirouette) and scoring a goal. If the goalkeeper is one of the shooters, there is still only one point for a normal goal.

If there is still no winner after these five throws, a change of sides is carried out and the game is decided as soon as one team scores more points, with the same number of attempts.

The implementation proceeds in such a way that you pass the ball to your goalkeeper in the opposite corner of the opposing goal and then get the ball thrown by the goalkeeper while running. If the ball touches the ground or if you do not run smoothly and, for example, stop briefly, 0 points are assigned directly to this attempt.

Field handball

In field handball, a fourteen-meter throw can take place after the second extension of 2 × 5 minutes.

Indoor handball

In handball there is a seven-meter throw after two extensions of 2 × 5 minutes each.
