Which of these was a unique NASL rule?

  • No offside

  • Time stoppage

  • Shootouts for ties

  • Unlimited substitutions

Answer

Shootouts for ties were a unique rule in the North American Soccer League (NASL). If a game ended in a draw after regulation and overtime, a shootout would take place to determine the winner. This rule was implemented to add excitement to the game and to avoid ties, which were more common in soccer than in other sports.
