The sequence of moves in a dynamic team tournament may distort the ex-ante winning probabilities and harm efficiency. This paper compares eight different rules, suggested for soccer penalty shootouts, to determine the order of actions. Their fairness is analysed under three possible mathematical models of psychological pressure. We also discuss the probability of reaching the sudden death stage, as well as the complexity and strategy-proofness of the rules. In the case of stationary scoring probabilities, it remains sufficient to use static rules in order to improve fairness. However, it is worth compensating the second-mover by making it the first-mover in the sudden death stage. Our work has the potential to impact decision-makers who can achieve better outcomes in dynamic tournaments by a carefully chosen sequence of actions.
