17. Prolongation in Case of Penalty

In the event of a penalty being awarded to a team which is behind in score within 20 seconds of the end of the match, the Timekeeper shall allow 20 seconds play from the time the ball is hit or hit at, in carrying out the penalty, before he rings the final bell. If a goal is scored after the ball has been put into play, and the original regular time has expired, the final bell shall be rung.

18. Unfinished Match

Once a match has started it shall be played to a finish unless stopped by the Umpire for some unavoidable cause, such as darkness or weather condition which prevents a finish the same day.

The side that scores more goals wins the game.

 

20. Confusing Colours

If in the opinion of the Tournament Committee or Umpires the colours of the two competing teams are so alike as to lead to confusion, the team lower in the draw shall be instructed to play in some other colour.
