• A timeout can be called when the team calling the timeout is in possession of the ball, anywhere on the field
• Overtime will begin immediately and be decided by sudden victory.  OT will have a Running Clock on all whistles.  The first goal scored wins the game.

• Injuries
  • Any injury within 2 minutes and under that requires the game to be stopped, the clock stops with the injury.
  • Any injury with more than 2 minutes remaining when the game is stopped, a maximum of 1 minute will come off the clock to assess the injury before the clock is stopped

BOYS SPECIFIC RULES

•  No stick checks unless refs think a stick is outrageously illegal
•  4 pole maximum on the field
•  Mercy Rule
  • (applies to 2033 and below) Applied when there is a 5-goal deficit in pool play.  Teams down by 5 or more goals will get a free clear after each goal.  Coaches can agree to waive this rule.
• Counts
  • 30 seconds to advance the ball into the box (Pool Play and Playoffs)
  • 2025 – 2032 Grad Years:  Clearing Counts.
  • No Counts – 2033 Grad Year and below.  Exception is a 4-second goalie count
  • Championship/Playoff Games Only:  The leading team must keep it in the box under 2 minutes if they are ahead by 2 goals or less.
    • If a score changes to 2 goals or less under 2 minutes the clock will stop and start with the whistles
    • If teams are ahead by 3 goals or more, the clock will remain running
• Checking
  • Limited body checking in 2029 – 2033.  Big hits & physical play (even within three yards of a loose ball) constitute unnecessary roughness (90 sec penalty)
  • One-handed stick checks are not allowed in any youth divisions (2033 and below)
• Penalties
  • Penalties are running time starting on the whistle (45 or 90 seconds)  Penalty time stops during injuries, end of quarters, and while another penalty is being assessed.

EJECTIONS

• Tournament ejections are handled by the tournament director (2 unsportsmanlike conduct penalties warrant ejection or 1-game suspension)

RANKINGS:

• Win = 3 points
• Loss = 0 points
• Tie = 1 point
  • In the event that a team needs to play a 4th pool game in order to give a second team their 3rd game:
    •  The 4th game will be identified and acknowledged with a ‘*’ on Tourney Machine
    • The 4th game will not count for any potential points or Goals Against for the team playing their 4th game
    • For the team playing their 3rd game, the results will count for points and goals against
    • In the event that there is a tiebreaker scenario, which includes a teams head to head being their fourth game, that has been identified with ‘*’ the head to head will NOT be applied.
  • In the event a team is declared a winner due to forfeit 
    • For ranking purposes the goals against average for the pool play games will be the average of the games that were completed 
      • Team A wins, 10-8 and 12-8 and then forfeit is 1–0.  Their average of 8 GA will be used to rank

Tie Breakers

If 2 teams are tied with POINTS:

1. Head to Head
2. Goals Against TOTAL
3. Goals Against Common Opponent.  If multiple common opponents, take the sum.

If more than 2 teams tied with POINTS:

1. If 1 team beat the other 2 teams – that team will advance and the second 2 will fall back into tiebreaker rules
2. Goals Against Total
3. Goals Against Common Opponent (only used if all teams played common opponent.  If multiple common opponents, take the sum)
4. Coin Toss/Bravehart
   1. If a team is still tied after these tie-breakers and is eligible for championship playoff bracket, a Braveheart may be used to determine who advances.  The tournament director will determine the scheduling of a braveheart based on fields and availability

ROSTERING

• All players must be registered and can only play for 1 team, unless approved by the event director, in each event.
• Unregistered players are considered ineligible for play and if found may result in a team forfeiting games and player ejection from the event.
