Modifield rules
Modified Rules- If you don't have enough players to play a fifth period device team must still use the format of 2 Rosters A & B. they may supplement their B squad with players from the A squad in order to have 11 player. Players are limited to playing 3 quarters in both 4 period games or 5 period games.In 4 period games there is a half time. Also there is overtime 2 periods of 4 min. in both 4 and 5 period games. If game is tied after both overtime periods game is ended. The overtime period is an extension of the last period and does not count towards the players having played another period. It is your responsibility to get the rosters before the game but not to decide whether coaches are playing within the roster rules. If you have a problem refer the coaches to their AD to discuss this with Section XI.
Point Of Emphasis - Elbowing- After speaking with Russ Huber it seems that players are using their elbows as weapons while playing and marking their opponents. When players are extending or using there elbows to gain an advantage it is a foul and must be called. This type of play encourages rough play and can lead to serious injury. Also rough fouls must be carded immediately. It is our job to keep the games safe. You will have less problems in your games if you use your cards appropriately. Thanks, Mike
