Unfortunately we missed a few things when converting our rulebook.
Page 19, Art 8, Delay of Game
"If a team gains the offensive zone and intentionally carries or passes the ball out of their offensive zone in an attempt to kill time, a warning shall be issued to both teams and the face-off shall occur in the offending teams defensive zone. The next violation shall result in a delay of game penalty."
Page 30, Art 3, Letter L Face Off Locations
"Delaying the game intentionally by loosing the offensive zone"
Both of these should have been omitted as a result of that rule being eliminated several years ago.
You MAY leave the offensive zone with the ball. There is no warning, or penalty for 2nd violation.
Again, you are free to bring the ball out of the offensive zone at any time. That has been legal for several years. We regret this unfortunate error.
The 2nd issue that needs to be addressed -
We should have added the following under "Delay of Game" minor, but missed informing our editor.
"A minor penalty shall be assessed for calling a 2nd timeout during regulation play, or a 2nd timeout during overtime."
Each team is awarded one timeout in regulation, and an additional timeout if the game goes to overtime (regardless of how many overtime sessions are played, only one additional timeout is allowed throughout the entirety of overtime).
