• What are the ‘mercy rule’
requirements?
After the first half, any time the score differential reaches 12 goals or
more the clock will only stop for time-outs (team, official or injury). If
the score differential falls below 12 goals normal timing rules resume.
During this situation penalty time begins with the next whistle
