5 Minute Periods
No Offsides, Penalties On
No Line Changes
Manual Goalie Control

Changing Goalies:

Goalies can be changed before the opening face-off and during play stoppages. You cannot change goalies during a face-off, or when a penalty shot is called.

Editing Lines:

Line-up changes are allowed at the following times:

Beginning of the game
When there is an injury to a player
During intermissions
When a time out is called (by either team).

If you would like to make a change at intermission, please notify your opponent that you wish to do, so they can allow you the time before the start of the next period. At the beginning of the game, both players can change their lines and the Home team gets the last change. If someone starts the game before the other player has changed their lines, the game can be restarted if the puck has not been dropped yet; just declare that you would like to restart before the puck drops. Please be fast when picking your starting line-up. One minute should be more than enough time. During period intermissions, we prefer you change your lines before the intermission, but you are allowed to change them during the intermissions. However, if your opponent starts the next period before you got the chance to change your lines, the game will continue, and you cannot change your line before the puck drops. If you try to change your lines at an unapproved time, you must revert your changes before play can resume. Line changes during the game should not take more than 10 seconds. Please be respectful and keep it short.

NOTE for SEGA players:

Due to a bug in the game, the exact attribute values reported in the Edit Lines and Team Roster screens are not accurate, they are only in the range of possible values for that player (other than weight, which is the correct value). So please do not spend lots of time looking for who is playing better that game based on those values, consider them only ballpark numbers.

Substituting for an Extra Attacker:

This is the only time pausing is allowed during game play. The goalie can be pulled at any time when the puck is in the neutral zone or in your offensive zone. You must have control of the puck if you are pulling him when in your defensive zone. You can only put the goalie back in immediately after a whistle (before a faceoff).

Tie Game:

If a game is still tied after overtime is completed, then the game will be reset, and play will continue until someone scores. (player injuries, penalties won’t carry over from the previous game).
