How it works
A team cannot have more players on the pitch than allowed. An illegally entering player receives a sanction card. A substitute who puts a paddle into play to stop a goal faces the special penalty and ejection provisions. A substitute reaching in with a paddle to prevent a goal has a much more serious consequence.
In a game
A sixth teammate enters before the outgoing kayak has fully left.
Remember
A substitute reaching in with a paddle to prevent a goal has a much more serious consequence.
