The concept is sudden death. . same thing happens in ice hockey. . first goal wins, the face-off is random. . the coin toss is random,
Teams perfectly physically evenly matched are probably more exhausted at the end of a game, than imbalanced teams . . .

Not sure of the message here. Is it brawn over brains is the preference ? Expanding on your thought why not eliminate OT. The last team to score wins. This will eliminate the randomness of a coin toss and making it even more important for teams to plan on how to have the last procession. As far as exhaustion - these are professionals making sinfull amounts of money. What do they say in another sport - you need to step up to the plate.
FYI - In hockey why do they need a coin toss if there is a face off ? Don't they eliminate the coin toss / shootout of regular season and play a regular period with only a face off in playoffs ?
