RULES

 

FIRST FACE-OFF CLASSIC
RULES OF PLAY
All Rules will be established by NFHS unless otherwise noted here.
  1. Playing time will consist of two 20-minute running halves with a 5-minute half time. Games will begin promptly on the hour.
  2. Timeouts will consist of one 45 second timeout per team per half. Playing time stops with each timeout. The clock will start after 45 seconds.  Any team not prepared to play after 45 seconds will lose possession of the ball.
  3. The 4-goal rule will be in effect at all times - if a team is leading by 4 or more goals, the faceoff will be eliminated and the ball awarded to the trailing team at mid field. The only exception to this rule will be to begin the second half.
  4. There will be no stick checks unless requested by the opposing coach, and if the stick is found not to be illegal, the challenging team will be charged a time out. If no timeout remains, a delay of game technical foul will be assessed.
  5. No Overtime in regular play. Sudden victory overtime will be used to decide all ties in playoff games.
  6. Players may only compete for one team during the tournament.
  7. Any team that forfeits a game during the tournament will be ineligible to compete in any playoff games.
  8. All forfeits will be considered a 4-2 victory for the team that is prepared to play.
  9. Any player, coach or fan ejected from a game or field during the tournament for fighting or unsportsmanlike behavior will be prohibited from playing, coaching or watching any other games in the tournament.
IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING RULES, THE REFEREE'S DECISION ON THE FIELD WILL BE THE FINAL RULING.

Scorecards will be held by the referees for each game. At the end of the game the ref will record the official score and sign it. Any questions regarding the score should be addressed at this time.  Once the scorecard is turned in at the registration table the score is considered official and no changes will be made.  It is the coach's responsibility to ensure that the correct score is recorded.  The scorecards will be turned in at the registration table at each field. Scores will be posted at the main information tent.
