Match duration is 5 minutes:

1.       Time will run even if the puck is out of play.

2.       An audio timer will be used for all matches.

3.       A hand held timer will be used for any make-up time.

Face-offs:

1.       All matches begin with the puck placed at center ice.

2.       Centers begin on their own side of the center ice red line.

3.       All other face-offs are made by dropping the puck on the center ice circle with the centers being in the afore positions.

4.       Before dropping the puck, be sure opponent is ready.

5.       Players must drop the puck on the center ice circle and not throw or lob it.

6.       The player not dropping the puck may call for a re-drop if he/she feels the puck was dropped unfairly.

7.       Three seconds must elapse after each face off before a goal can be scored.

8.       If a goal is scored within the three seconds, it does not count and a new face-off must be made.  This rule is in effect even if a referee is making the face-off.

9.       The center is not allowed to score directly off a face-off.  The puck must be played to another player before a goal can count.

Scoring:

1.       The puck must stay in the goal for it to count. 

2.       In and outs shots do not count.

3.       Scoring a direct goal by pressing a motionless puck against the goal cage with the right defenseman or goaler does not count.

4.       Scoring a direct goal by pressing the puck against the goaler with either defenseman does not count.

5.       A goal scored by a shot with the body of a player (not the stick) after having stopped the puck does not count.

6.       When a goal is scored as the final buzzer is sounding, it will not be awarded.

1.       The game will be suspended and resumed on a new table.

2.       If player had indisputable control before the interruption, the game continues with the puck in the place where it was, otherwise a new face-off is made.
