Proposal 7: Ammend Time stoppage Rules [ Revision 3 ]
Committee: HockeySubmitted on 2018-10-30
Status: Passed on December 03, 2018
Background
A number of small changes around time stoppages need to be altered.
14C.2.7 Referee Hand Signs has some examples of when time should be stopped but I don't think they are that thorough. I have put in new ones which seem more likely.
Proposal
OLD
14B.8.1 General Considerations
All players must take care not to endanger others. The game is non-contact: the opponents and their unicycles may not be touched. The players must take care not to hit an opponent with their stick, especially after a shot. Only in the vicinity of the ball may a player touch an opponent’s stick with their stick to block them. However, this contact may not be hard. It is illegal to turn the blade of the stick upside down in order to hook into an opponent’s stick. Raising the opponent’s stick is allowed in principle, if not done using exaggerated roughness. If the opponent’s stick is raised to a high stick (see section 14B.10.4), it is always considered exaggerated roughness. Intentional delay of the game is not permitted.
New
14B.8.1 General Considerations
..Intentional delay of the game is not permitted and may result in a penalty and the stoppage of time.
OLD
14B.7.1 Game Duration
The play time is given by the playing schedule and is a relative play time. The time only stops if the Referee requests a time out. The teams change sides during the break. At the start of each period, all players must be in their own half of the field. Each period starts with a face-off at the center mark. If the game ends in a draw and a decision is necessary, play is continued with extended time. If it’s still a draw, a decision is reached with a penalty shootout.
New
14B.7.1 Game Duration
..The time stops only at the request of the Referee.
OLD
14C.2.7 Referee Hand Signs
“Time out” Form the letter “T” with both hands. The game is interrupted for example if a player is injured or if the spectators disturb the game.
New
14C.2.7 Referee Hand Signs
“Stop Timer” Form the letter “T” with both hands. The stoppage of time is deemed necessary by a referee for example if a player is injured, intentional delay of game occurs or discussion between referees or between referee and players is needed.
OLD
14C.2.4 The Timer
The Timer checks the time of play with a stopwatch and/or with a score board. The time is started whenever the Referee starts the game by blowing the whistle. Each period is ended by the sound of the score board (e.g. horn, bell, gong) or the blowing of a whistle by the timer. The Timer also stops the time whenever the Referee requests a time out.
New
14C.2.4 The Timer
..The Timer also stops the time whenever the Referee requests a stoppage of time.
Body
I tried to update all words relating to the timer in one proposal. I provided (what I think) are probably better examples of why the referee would stop the game under 14C.2.7 Referee Hand Signs.

Wording still wasn't good. Need to be clear that you can penalise AS WELL AS stop time.
- Revision 2 changed by Steven Hughes (11 Nov 19:23)
The wording seemed slightly odd.
