[BUG]Problem with Overtime

[Rockyar_96]

I just played on syncmasters cable and you know, if many people are on the server there is often overtime. I wanted to grab the flag in the last second so i earn the 2 points holding the flag but the game continued... 

I took a demo of it and attached it.

Don't have time to watch the demo right now.  What was the score?  If the game is currently tied or the 2 point bonus will result in a tie, the game goes into overtime.

ah ok, so it´s intention.
But why?

So the game doesn't end in a tie - that's the whole point of overtime.

let's say the score was 22:22 and i grabbed the flag 2 seconds before an overtime ended but i didn't get the 2 points for holding the flag. There wouldn't have been an overtime but because i did not get the points there was another overtime. can u understand me now?

Well you get the bonus points for holding the flag at the end of the round. Usually, this means you are holding the flag and all the opponents are dead - i.e. you are holding the flag after having succeeded. So you shouldn't be allowed to get the bonus points for just holding the flag when the timer runs out - if this is the case, the side who have only one player alive could win against a much better team of several in a tie if they just grabbed the flag, even if there was otherwise no way they could win. Basically, it's to make the game fair.

why it's possible then? I mean not in this case but when the regular timelimit runs out. I think it should be in both cases the same.

If the score is tied when the time runs out, it goes into overtime.  You have to work for those tie breaking points, not just grab a flag.

Waaaait, I don't get this. If I'm down by 2 points, and I manage to grab the flag just before time runs out, then it goes to overtime!

Now, you are saying that if it is overtime, and it is tied, then I don't get 2 points when clock runs out?

if the grab points are worth 3 points

ill make it simple

49 team blue-------46 team red
  no flg                   flg

time:3..2...1...0

overtime: 49 team blue------49 team red


if the grab points are worth 2 points

49 team blue-------47 team red

time:3...2..1..0

overtime: 49 team blue------49 team red
