Only when the plays are declared at nearly the same instant, are both mandatory, are both so obviously advantageous that each player would play regardless, or one player simply lacked time to react. Otherwise they resolve one at a time, in the order the plays were made, and the offense, defense, then clockwise order applies only to true ties.
