Penalty shootout in soccer is recognized to be unfair because the team kicking first in
all rounds enjoys a significant advantage. The so-called Catch-Up Rule has been suggested recently to solve this problem but is shown here not to be fairer than the simpler
deterministic Alternating (ABBA) Rule that has already been tried. We introduce the
Adjusted Catch-Up Rule by guaranteeing the first penalty of the possible sudden death
stage to the team disadvantaged in the first round. It outperforms the Catch-Up and
Alternating Rules, while remains straightforward to implement. A general measure of
complexity for penalty shootout mechanisms is also provided as the minimal number
of binary questions required to decide the first-mover in a given round without knowing the history of the penalty shootout. This quantification permits a two-dimensional
evaluation of any mechanism proposed in the future.
