Coba jelasin Peraturan dari Bola lantai dong

Setiap tim dapat menempatkan enam pemain pada saat bersamaan di lapangan, satu pemain menjadi penjaga gawang. Tetapi pelatih dapat mengeluarkan penjaga gawang untuk waktu singkat, dan menggantikannya dengan pemain biasa. Ini dapat menciptakan keuntungan ketika tim sedang menyerang, dan sekaligus kerugian ketika tim tersebut diserang. Tim juga diperbolehkan untuk mengganti pemain setiap saat dalam pertandingan, biasanya seluruh tim diganti. Pergantian perseorangan kadang-kadang terjadi, tetapi itu biasanya ketika pemain kelelahan atau cedera.

Permainan bola lantai secara resmi dimainkan dalam tiga babak, dengan masing-masing babak berlangsung selama 20 menit (15 menit untuk usia muda). Pertandingan dihentikan ketika ada penalti, gol, time-outs dan semua situasi di mana bola tidak sedang dalam permainan. Waktu istirahat berlangsung di antara setiap babak berturutan selama 3–10 menit, where teams change ends and substitution areas. Setiap tim is allowed a timeout of 30 seconds (which is often used late in matches). Ada dua wasit yang mengawasi pertandingan, keduanya memiliki otoritas yang sama.

Checking is disallowed in floorball. Controlled shoulder-to-shoulder contact is allowed, but ice hockey-like checking is forbidden. Pushing players without the ball or competing for a loose ball is also disallowed, and many of these infractions lead to two minute penalties. The best comparison in terms of legal physical contact is soccer, where checking is used to improve one's positioning in relation to the ball rather than to remove an opposing player from the play. In addition to checking, players cannot lift another opponents stick or perform any stick infractions in order to get to the ball. As well, players may not raise their stick or play the ball above their knee level, and a stick cannot be placed in between a player's legs (to avoid tripping).

Ketika pemain melakukan pelanggaran, or when the ball is deemed unplayable, play is resumed from a face-off or a free hit. A free hit involves a player from one team to start play from the place where the ball was last deemed unplayable. A comparison of this is a free kick in soccer. For many fouls, such as stick infractions, a free hit is the only discipline provided. However, at the referee's discretion, a penalty may be worth either two or five minutes. At that point, the player who committed the foul sits in the penalty area, and his team is short handed for the time of the penalty. If an 'extreme' foul is committed, such as physical contact or unsportsmanlike behavior, a player may receive a 10 minute penalty or even a match misconduct.
