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 effective even if a referee is making the face-off.
9. The center is not allowed to score directly off a face-off. The puck has to go out of reach of the center before it is possible to score.

Possession Rule

It is forbidden to retain the puck for more than 5 seconds without passing or shooting.

Scoring

1. The puck must stay in the goal for it to count . In and outs do not count.
2. A goal that goes directly* into the opposing net by pressing a motionless puck against the goal cage with either the right or left defenseman or goaler OR by pressing the puck against the goaler with either defenseman does not count.  (*If the puck goes in off the rink wall first, it's not "directly", or if the shot is deflected by a visible touch from another player of the same team, the goal counts).
3. A goal that goes directly in the net by a shot with the body of a player (not the stick) after having stopped the puck does not count.  However, if the puck came to a still position without being stopped by the player, then the player is allowed to shoot.  It is also allowed if the shot is deflected by a visible touch from another player of the same team.
4. It is allowed to score a goal with a player's right foot, if using it as a stick.
5. When a goal is scored as the final buzzer is sounding, it will not be awarded.
6. If a competitor is not in front of the board and ready to play by 30 seconds after the beginning of the match, he automatically loses this match by 10-0.

Freeze Rule

When the puck is stopped between your goal keeper and the goal line you can ask for "freeze", take the puck and make a new face off.

Game Interruptions

When the game is unduly interrupted (i.e.: a torn off goal, broken player or tip, removed player...), the lost time is added to the 5 minutes. And, if any player had the puck under control before the interruption, the game continues from the place where it stopped, otherwise a new face off must be made.
