All players will switch packs with the other team between games. All league players will be required to shake hands with all players of the opponent team before the first game and after the second game. A player refusing to shake at the beginning of a game will play with a 1-minute penalty. The league Chairman will make the final determination. Either captain may, before game play begins, request that a referee be substituted for another.
All players begin in the arena at an energizer station.
A referee will confirm that both teams are ready and the game will begin. At any time a referee feels absolutely certain that a player s equipment is not working properly, they may remove that player from the game in order to change the equipment. Teams must always have one player in the offensive zone. Players will have a buffer of 10 seconds from the time they leave the offensive zone to energize and return to the offensive zone. Once in the offensive zone the player cannot leave unless they are deactivated or another player on their team has entered the offensive zone.
