NBA = full 5 min overtime period(s); if still tied, rinse & repeat.
MLS = two 15 minute overtime periods; if still tied, best of five shootout, then if still tied, next untied goal wins... but given the modestly paced individual action of soccer (as compared to hockey, which is basically soccer on a smaller field of ice), possession changes rapidly.
MLB = full inning(s) of bonus baseball until someone wins.
NHL = full 20 min overtime period(s) until someone scores... but given the fast paced individual action of hockey, possession changes rapidly.
PGA = mano a mano against the golf course.
PBA = mano a mano against the lanes and pins.
ATP/USTA = minimum of seven point tiebreaker thru Wimbledon's last set play until you win by two games.
NFL = only sport where coin flip winner has an incredible advantage; all other sports afford both teams/players an equal, or much closer to equal chance of scoring/winning.
