• Teams are awarded (1) one-minute time-out per team in Regulation Time
• The clock will stop. Timeout does NOT roll over to OT.  No timeouts in OT
• 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.
