Format

Each team will play 7 games.
The teams will be divided into 2 pools of 6 teams each that will play a one-way round robin.
At the end of the first phase, the top two ranked teams from each pool will form a 4-team
bracket that will play semis and finals for positions 1 through 4.
The third and fourth ranked teams from each pool will form a 4-team bracket that will play
semis and finals for positions 5 to 8.
The fifth and sixth ranked teams from each pool will form a 4-team bracket that will play
semis and finals for positions 9 to 12.

Time

Forty (40) minutes per game.
A team wins having reached the target of thirteen (13) goals.
One timeout per game and lasts seventy-five (75) seconds.

Halftime

Half time occurs after the first team reaches the half time target of seven (7) goals or when ‘half time’ jingle starts. Half time lasts zero (0) minutes.

Cap

When “time is over” jingle starts play continues until the completion of the current point. Then if the difference is zero (0) play another point, if the difference is one (1) or more stop to play.
Just for the final for 1st place: if the difference is 0 or 1, one goal is added to the highest score to determine the final target.

Starting a Game

Representatives of the two teams fairly determine which team first chooses either: whether to receive or throw the initial pull; or which end zone they will initially defend. The other team is given the remaining choice.
At the start of the second half, these initial selections are switched.

Dead heat

In case two teams end up at the same position in the ranking, the winner is determined based on goal difference, head-to-head results, and total goals scored.

Gender ratio

Each team must have at least one woman on the line (LOOSE MIXED).
However, teams have the flexibility to mutually agree on an alternative ratio if they wish or use a different rule.

Gender pulling

When two women on the line, one must pull.

Scorekeeping

Both participating teams are responsible for keeping track of the score during the game.
