METHOD OF PLAY
*First period of Saturday games is running time. Clock also runs when one team takes a 7-goal lead and continues to run until the trailing team gets within 5. First period of elimination games is running time. All other playoff games are stop time.
*Game ends (MERCY RULE) when one team leads by 8 at the end of 2 periods or later. NO EXCEPTIONS.
*During running time, minor penalties are 90 seconds, major penalties 4 minutes. THE CLOCK DOES NOT STOP DURING PENALTIES. Penalty begins when ball is dropped. During stop time, minors are 1 minute, majors 2½ minutes.
*At Bridgeville HockeyPlex, the wall is IN PLAY.
*At RMU Island Sports Center, the nets above the glass are IN PLAY.
*FLOATING BLUE LINE WILL BE USED.
*Signaling for a pass with a high stick is a penalty only if it endangers an opponent.
*You may clutch the ball with your hand, but must immediately set it down.
*Face-offs after penalties are deep in the offending team’s end.
*All face-offs are at the nearest dot.
*American Street Hockey Institute rules apply.
*In elimination games, ties are broken by shootout. In quarterfinal and semifinal games, overtime is one 5-minute running-time sudden-death period followed by shootout. In championship games, overtime is one 10-minute running-time sudden-death period followed by shootout. Teams do not switch ends for overtime.
*THERE ARE NO TIME OUTS.
