Sportsmanship: Abuse of officials will not be tolerated and flagrant violations may result in team disqualification. Teams and individuals that are abusive, destructive, or in any other manner reflect negatively on the tournament will be disqualified at the discretion of the tournament director and may be prohibited from returning in the future.

The Men's Divisions will use NCAA rules with the following exceptions:
• Game Time: All games will be two 25 minute running halves. No clock stoppages. Sudden death will be played in the event of a tie. Half time is 5 minutes. Note: Teams will be assessed a delay of game penalty if not ready to begin play at the scheduled time.
• Penalty Time: Will be served time and one half. (30sec=45sec, 1 minute=1.5minutes) Penalty clock begins when the penalized player enters the penalty box and the officials resume play. Goalies must serve unsportsmanlike penalties. In-home can serve personal or technical penalties.
• Timeouts: Two one-minute time outs per half per team, one per team during sudden death. A timeout will not kill any penalty time. No timeouts in the last two minutes of the game. (Example: If a timeout is called with 2:15 remaining, the timeout ends at two minutes remaining.) Timeouts must be called with possession in the offensive zone (sideline to sideline) or during a dead ball.
