In this article, an ovoidal fibration is used to show that any two ovoids of \(\text{PG}(3,q)\), \(q\) even, sharing a polarity, must meet in an odd number of points. This result was previously known only when one of the ovoids was an elliptic quadric or a Tits ovoid. It is also shown that an ovoid and an elliptic quadric of \(\text{PG}(3,q)\), sharing all of their tangents, must meet in \(1\pmod 4\) points.
