When a player receives the puck at the side wall, opposing players must cede eight feet of room for the player to restart play. Once the puck handler has touched the puck, opposing players may approach as play restarts. Face-offs will occur at the beginning of each half and after each goal. The players will hit the ground and then each other's sticks three times before playing the puck that rests between them in the face-off circle. Playing the puck before crossing sticks three full times results in automatic possession for the opponent.
Captains are VERY responsible for enforcing the rules.
Floor Hockey is called by the participants on the court and must be self-refereed fairly for teams to be allowed to participate. Sportsmanship is at a premium here, so captains must inform players of the rules and make sure that they follow them. Repeated problems with a team or player may result in that team or player being barred from the remainder of the season, particularly when the problems regard checking or unsportsmanlike behavior. Czars will be present at all games, but are not officials. They can mediate disputed calls, however.
