When is time-out called?

Substitutions and time-outs · Rule 10.6

The referee must use time-out when a capsized player or equipment interferes with play, after a goal, and for a goal penalty shot. Dangerous conditions and injuries may also call for a stoppage.

How it works

The referee must use time-out when a capsized player or equipment interferes with play, after a goal, and for a goal penalty shot. Dangerous conditions and injuries may also call for a stoppage. The restart depends on why play stopped and which team had possession.

In a game

A loose paddle enters the play after a capsize; the referee stops the clock.

Remember

The restart depends on why play stopped and which team had possession.
