@@OctagonalGolbat It's somewhat complicated. In American Football a tie leads to "overtime", which is 10 minutes long. Each team will get a chance to play the ball, unless the first team gets a touchdown (if they only get a field goal the other team will still have a chance to play). If the score is still tied after both teams have had possession of the ball then the next point will win. In the pre-season or regular season the game is declared a tie if the score is still tied at the end of 10 minutes. In the playoffs additional 10 minute overtime periods will be played until one of the teams wins. (But it has never gone past double overtime.) I did have to look this up BTW, I knew overtime existed but like most NerdFighters I didn't really know the rules.

@@OctagonalGolbat so I’m from a soccer (the real football ;-) ) family and it’s like this; If after 90 minutes (2 times 45 minutes) plus additional time from when the game stopped because of injuries there is a tie, they get an extra 15 minutes to change that. In normal competition if there still is a tie, then that’s the score. But in knock-off-championship (like the last 8 competitors in world championships etc) after that there’ll be penalties. First 5/5, is that’s a tie then it’s a sudden death kind of thing, when you score 1 and the other doesn’t you win.

John getting that cookie into his mouth so fast was honestly one of the most impressive things I've seen in a while.
You guys are so great. Literally thank you guys for existing.
wonderfully hilarious - i was not here for the first quaddragon thing, but i hope that when i am here for the third i can spell it
This was the best competition I've watched all year.
Rewatching this again and the cup stacking just makes me laugh so much. I somehow convinced myself that you were both going to be really quick but then the dramatic music starts and it's the two of you very carefully and deliberately placing cups. It gets me every time!
Today would have been my dad’s birthday, so I was thinking about him watching this. I think he would have liked the concept, the running, and the cookies. I just enjoyed the whole thing.
Okay, this made me cry tears of inexplicable joy.
John's collage might be the most John thing I've ever seen

KZread has been recommending the first Quadragocon video to me all week, so really, I'm not surprised this is what you came up with. Wonderful
...since this one was two years late, could the next quadragacon perhaps happen two years early? (or if not, maybe the next one can have actual dragons. that would be cool)
I am living for the confessionals to the camera in between events.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SIX YEARS THANK YOU
