In most sports, if not all, games are typically postponed if stopped by rain. Stopping a game early may change the outcome of a match and would not be fair.

In Baseball, games are only stopped if there is heavy rain or puddles on the field. If the game is cancelled due to rain, the game will restart at a later date and all spectators will receive a free ticket to watch the game.

In cricket, a team is still awarded a win if a game is rained out. The winner is calculated according to the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.

In football, games are postponed to a later date if there is poor weather conditions. If the stadium is not available on a later date, the game will either be moved to the opponent's stadium or to another football stadium in the area. A rainout has never occurred in NFL Playoff history.

In soccer/association football, games are only stopped if there is lightning or heavy rainfall. The games are postponed until a later date. In Major League Soccer (MLS), games that don't pass the 76th minute mark are postponed, but games that pass the 76th minute mark are marked as finished and that score stands.

In tennis, rain can make the court's surface very slippery and dangerous. Games are postponed until a later date.

If you are wondering about another sport, ask a new question and make sure to specify the sport in your question.

Is there only overtime in American football if it is a draw?

Yes. In regular season games, teams will play up to 15 minutes of overtime in order to settle a tie with the first team to score being declared the winner. If neither team scores in the 15 minute overtime period, the game is declared a tie. There is nothing used to break ties like the shootout you might see in ice hockey or penalty kicks in association football. In a playoff game, teams will play as many minutes of overtime as it takes until one team scores and is declared the winner.
