The rulebook states that the authority is only to be used in the event that 'any club action, non-participant interference, or calamity occurs in an NFL game which the Commissioner deems so extraordinarily unfair or outside the accepted tactics encountered in professional football that such action has a major effect on the result of the game.' Former commissioner Pete Rozelle refused on principle to use the provisions. To date, the NFL has never used its extraordinary act clause.

A full replay discards the result of the previous game altogether and restarts the game from its beginning. The National Football League has a clause in its rules that allows the commissioner to order a whole or partial replay of a game that has been corrupted by an ' extraordinary act.' For a partial replay, the game is reset to the point immediately before the play in which the act took place, with all game parameters (time, score, ball position and possession) set to where they were at that point. Extra time, penalty shoot-outs and free-taking shootouts have, in recent years, been increasingly used as tiebreakers to prevent fixture congestion.

Replays are often used as tiebreakers in the Gaelic games of hurling, Gaelic football, camogie and ladies' Gaelic football. Juan Manuel Márquez III and Manny Pacquiao vs.

In boxing, rematches (referred to as 'rematch' and not 'replay') have produced some historically significant moments in the sport. The rule was abolished after the 2019 MLB season, so protests and ensuing replays are no longer possible. The only case where the American League upheld a protest and ordered a replay was after the famous Pine Tar Incident in 1983. Most upheld protests were in the National League. In total, 15 MLB games were partially replayed under this rule, the last such occurrence happening in 2014. If the protest was upheld, the game would be replayed from the 'point-of-protest' at a later date. Until the 2019 Major League Baseball season, it was possible for teams to protest games, usually if the manager believed his team was negatively impacted by a consequential umpiring decision that violated MLB rules. However, more common consequences for such actions include awarding victory to non-offending teams and/or deducting points from offending teams. Replays can sometimes also take place on occasion if a team has fielded an ineligible player in the original match, or if a player has been injured as a result of an action by a spectator (such as throwing a coin or a bottle). Historically, FA Cup games would be replayed as many times as necessary until one team managed to win - in 1971, a fourth qualifying round match between Alvechurch and Oxford City was replayed five times after the initial match ended 2-2, with Alvechurch winning 1-0 in the fifth replay to settle the tie. Games going to replays in the FA Cup since 1991 are only replayed once, with extra time and penalty shootouts used to decide the tie if the replay ends in a draw. Replays are now only used in the early rounds of the English FA Cup tournament, as well as rounds up until the semi-finals in the Scottish Cup.

The shootout's first use at the World Cup took place in the 1982 semi-finals. The first instance of a shootout replacing a replay (rather than lots) was the final of the 1976 European championship. The penalty shootout made its appearance immediately thereafter. In 1970, FIFA (the worldwide governing body of the sport) and IFAB (the international rules committee for the sport) allowed penalty shoot-outs to be held if a match ended in a draw after extra time. In association football, replays were often used to decide the winner in a knock-out tournament when the previous match ended in a draw, especially in finals.
