1. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Review the 2019/2020 Points of Emphasis Review the 2019/2020 Major Rule changes NCAA film Mechanics discussion Questions

2. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Points of Emphasis Head Coach Pregame Meeting Head coach is required to meet with officials 30 minutes prior to scheduled start of the game. What happens if not observed. Officials will record the issue in the game report.

3. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Points of Emphasis Team Conduct/Decorum Pregame and Postgame Player behavior during pregame warm-ups is a concern Committee established a 5 yard buffer on either side of midline as neutral area during pregame Coaches are asked to monitor and discuss sportsmanship issues with their teams Postgame, coaches shall be cognizant of teams crossing at the end of the game, which creates issues.

4. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Points of Emphasis Team Conduct/Decorum Pregame and Postgame What do we do if the buffer zone is not observed? Officials will warn players and coaches, still not adhered to: conduct foul, will be escalated to unsportsmanlike if continues. Probably both teams at this point.

5. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Points of Emphasis Faceoffs The overriding principle is for both players to play the ball Clamping is allowed on the initial move only; anything more is withholding the ball from play The use of the helmet during the faceoff is serious concern. The game officials will be asked to determine any potential violation when the helmet to helmet contact occurs.

6. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation 2019/2020 Major Rule Changes Rule 1-10 Rule 2-12 Rule 4-6-g Rule 4-15 Rule 4-16-a Advancing Ball Rule 4-16-b Over and back Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions Rule 6-5-a Picks Substitution Area Shot clock operator Clear definition 80 second shot clock

7. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 1-10 Substitution Area All fields are lined with the substitution area of a full 20 yards long 10 yards from the center line The 20 yard substitution area will be divided into sections as follows. Cones will be placed on each sideline 5 yards from the centerline. The area between the cones will serve as the substitution box. Only players serving penalty time, players ready to substitute on the fly and official scorers and timers are allowed in this section of the substitution area. All substituting players must enter the field in the 10 yard area between the cones.

8. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 1-10 Substitution Area The remaining 5 yards from the cone to the end of the large 20 yard substitution area (5 yards) will be reserved for imminent substituting players and coaches instructing players. All other players and coaches shall remain in the team bench areas.

9. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 2-12 Shot clock operator Crucial to have a pregame conversation with clock operator Make sure there is a backup timing device in case of malfunction (Rule 2-12) Start/reset clock on game official s verbal and visual signal. (Don t guess! If we did not give reset then don t reset) Stop, start and restart shot clock with game clock.

10. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 2-12 Shot clock operator Blow horn if shot clock expires without a reset. Instruct operators to reset clock and hold the clock at 80 until the next reset signal is given. (player possession) In uneven situations at period end the shot clock remains where it was at end of period. (Rule 4-6) Need to verify that the shot clock does not go out under 80 seconds on a reset. The institutions will receive a notice that this is a requirement.

11. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Shot Clock Mechanics Shot clock manual operation Verbalize to ALL every 10 seconds The shot clock operator is to be located near the intersection of the midline and substitution area. On a reset they will mimic our reset. This is to notify us that they received and have reset the shot clock. They will provide a hand signal at the ten second remaining on shot clock by raising arm straight up. At the five second remaining on shot clock the arm will then be moved to shoulder height along the sideline.

12. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Shot Clock - Rule 4-15 Straight 80 seconds/Full use of 20 seconds to clear/Over & Back in play at 60 or less Shot Clock remains on until the quarter expires NOTE* This means 2 clocks will be running at the end of quarters. The game clock AND the shot clock. Both with different times. (May cause confusion) At the initiation of a flag down (slow whistle) situation, the shot clock will not reset but shall continue After a shot from above GLE that hits the goal pipe or rebounds off the goalkeeper the 80 second shot clock will stop and will reset upon either team gaining possession.

13. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Shot Clock Rule 2 -12 f In cases where the shot clock does not start within five (5) seconds of the officials signaling the clock to begin or reset, game officials are instructed to stop play and reset the clock to 80 seconds. Note: in the event of an imminent scoring opportunity, officials shall allow the scoring opportunity to continue and stop play to reset the shot clock when complete. Officials shall continually verbalize and signal during the 5 second delay in an attempt to get clock reset. Approved ruling In ALL cases when play has to be stopped due to delay in starting, the shot clock is reset to 80 seconds

14. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Shot Clock Questions received Can a team go anywhere on the field when the shot clock is between 61 80. Ruling: Yes, this applies to any reset also.

15. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Shot Clock Questions received Team A has possession of the ball with the shot-clock in play. Two opposing players near the crease are flagged for simultaneous unnecessary roughness fouls (1 minute per) on each team with possession remaining with team A (teams are 5 v. 5). What happens to the shot-clock? Ruling: Shot clock is reset on administration of a time serving foul. 2018 Approved ruling

16. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-6-g and 4-16 Clear and advancing the ball A ball in flight from the defensive half of the field to the offensive half of the field that passes through the plane of the midline prior to the shot clock reaching 60 seconds satisfies the clear. A player with possession and touches the midline satisfies the count as well. The officials will enforce failure to advance off the 80 second visible shot clock Rule 4-16

17. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-6-g and 4-16 Clear and advancing the ball Team A has possession in their offensive half with more that 60 seconds on the shot clock. The ball goes over midfield after last being touched by team B and then recovered by team A in their defensive half. The shot clock still runs but does team A have another 20 secs to clear the ball past mid field? Ruling: No the team must clear by the time the shot clock is at 60 seconds.

18. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-16-b Over and back Over and back is not to be called until the shot clock is at 60 seconds or less even if the offensive team has advanced the ball to the offensive half of field prior to.

19. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-16-b Over and back (exceptions page 42) No over and back but shot clock will reset in the following 1. A shot (per shot clock criteria) that leaves the offensive half of field. 2. A loose ball that leaves the offensive half of the field caused by the defense and the defense is called for a loose ball violation (play on) In these two situations a new 20 second clearing count is in effect

20. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-16-b Over and back (exceptions page 42) No over and back but shot clock will not reset in the following 1. A loose ball that leaves the offensive half of the field (60 or less on shot clock) and was last touched by the defensive team (no possession change here) 2. A loose ball that leaves the offensive half of the field (60 or less on shot clock) and was last touched by the defensive team, and ball goes out of in the defensive have of the field In these two situations the offensive team (on clock) has no obligation to re-clear the ball within 20 seconds and may use the entire field of play for the remaining time on the shot clock.

21. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions If an offensive player, in possession of the ball and outside the crease area, dives or jumps in a direction away from the goal mouth and lands in the crease, the goal shall be allowed, provided the ball enters the goal before contact with the crease, goaltender, or the goal. If an offensive player, in possession of the ball and outside the crease area, dives or jumps in a direction that is not away from the goal mouth and lands in the crease, the goal shall be disallowed. In addition, the player shall be penalized with a minimum of a 1 minute foul. The penalty may be releasable or non-releasable at the discretion of the referee. Contact is not required for a foul to be called under this rule. Defensive contact legal or illegal may have an effect on this play.

22. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions Note: The Goal Mouth is the area directly in front of the goal cage, including the goal line, where the goalkeeper is located and plays his position. A player diving must dive in a direction away from the goal mouth. The following Interpretation is to be used when a player intentionally leaves his feet (becomes airborne of his own volition) in a direction NOT AWAY from the goal mouth and lands in the crease. Although the committee has allowed the dive a player that dives in a direction NOT AWAY from the goal mouth NEEDS to be assessed the appropriate penalties. Protection of the goaltender is still a key priority.

23. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Goal mouth where the goalkeeper is located and plays his position Goal mouth

24. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions Rule of thumb The committee wants the attacking player to have an opportunity to dive to open space within the crease. If this happens typically it will result in a direction away from the goal mouth. If a player dives away from goal mouth and during the process the goalie initiates contact this will usually result in a crease violation.

25. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Open Space The white within crease Goal mouth

26. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions There can be two types of penalties releasable and non-releasable. One minute releasable for unsportsmanlike will be called for a player that dives in a direction that is not away from the goal mouth and has no contact with the goaltender. A 1 to 3 minute non-releasable unsportsmanlike conduct foul is to be called when contact with the goaltender is made. The penalty time is based on severity of the contact but in no circumstance less than a 1 minute non-releasable foul.

27. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions A.R. 79a. A1 dives or jumps away from the goal mouth and, while in the air, is legally checked into the crease. (1) The ball goes into the goal prior to contact with the crease, goaltender or goal; or (2) The ball does not go into the goal. RULING: (1) Goal is allowed; (2) Crease violation on A1.

28. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions A.R. 79b. A1 dives or jumps away from the goal mouth and, while in the air, is illegally checked into the crease. (1) The ball goes into the goal prior to contact with the crease, goaltender or goal; or (2) The ball does not go into the goal. RULING: (1) Flag-down, goal counts, assess penalty; (2) Flag- down, assess penalty Note do not allow the defensive player to take liberties here.

29. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions A.R. 80a. A1 dives or jumps in a direction that is not away from the goal mouth and, while in the air, is legally checked into the crease (1) The ball goes into the goal prior to contact with the crease, goaltender or goal; or (2) The ball does not go into the goal. RULING: (1 and 2) No goal. Flag-down, assess penalty on A1.

30. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions A.R. 80b. A1 dives or jumps in a direction that is not away from the goal mouth and, while in the air, is illegally checked by B1 into the crease (1) The ball goes into the goal prior to contact with the crease, goaltender or goal; or (2) The ball does not go into the goal. RULING: (1 and 2) No goal. Flag-down, assess penalties on A1 and B1 and award possession according to Rule 7-6-c. All other A.R.s in this section are unchanged

31. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions Ruling: No Goal Penalty will be called

32. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions Ruling: Goal counts If no contact prior to Ball entering

33. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions Ruling: Goal counts If no contact prior to Ball entering

34. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions Ruling: No Goal Too tight to goal Penalty will be called

35. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions Ruling: No Goal Player is not greater Than parallel with Goal mouth

36. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions Ruling: Goal counts If no contact prior to Ball entering

37. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions Ruling: Goal counts If no contact prior to Ball entering there Is space between pipe

38. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 4-21 Goal crease prohibitions Ruling: No Goal Too tight to goal Penalty will be called

39. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Rule 6-5-a Picks In establishing and maintaining legal screening tactics, the screener shall: Stay within his vertical plane with a stance in which the inside of the screeners feet (heel) is no wider than shoulder width apart and . All other aspects of screening remains the same as previous years.

40. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Mechanics No longer will use the following Beepers for clearing count do not turn these on, could cause problems will be used for all other cases as in the past. No longer need to use the shot clock on signal No longer will use the shot clock wave off signal No longer will use the wipe off of a penalty signal. Signal will be used only for inadvertent flag situations.

41. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Mechanics Penalty waive off The wave off with flag will be reserved for only times of error by the official which is an inadvertent flag situation. The mechanic for a foul that is wiped out by a goal will be as follows. The official will report foul as normal Verbalize foul is wiped out and signal with safe signal Demonstrate goal is good with goal signal

42. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Mechanics Reset Signal same mechanic as previous years Page 84 of rulebook Whenever a valid shot (per shot clock reset criteria) happens and creates a loose ball there will be two reset signals given, one at the time of the valid shot and one when either team gains possession. You may use one reset signal when the goalie makes the save by catching the ball and having possession

43. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Mechanics Shot clock manual operation The following mechanics will be used when the need arises to have the shot clock manually run at the box. The shot clock operator is to be located near the intersection of the midline and substitution area. On a reset they will mimic our reset. This is to notify us that they received and have reset the shot clock. They will provide a hand signal at the ten second remaining on shot clock by raising arm straight up. At the five second remaining on shot clock the arm will then be moved to shoulder height along the sideline.

44. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Mechanics clearing count Perhaps this will be one of the most challenging things we will have to officiate Moving primary responsibility for count from single to trail Not saying trail is the only one that should be managing the clock but the one that is ultimately responsible. Responsibility will move based on the official who is considered to be on official for midline

45. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Mechanics clearing count On a clear the ball can transition slowly or be in the goal area well before 60 seconds. The trail is available to 90 95 % of time. When the ball is in the offensive end (settled or somewhat settled) and ball now rolls toward midline with more than 60 on the clock (trail now on official ) single needs to take clock so the trail can focus on other duties. Signal In situations when shot clock is near 60 and it is questionable if ball will be cleared the on official will signal the clear is complete by raising arm to shoulder height and pointing in direction of play. Over and back signals will also need to be used if they apply

46. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Mechanics Fall trial (out of bounds) We will abandon the trail mechanic of not raising our arm straight up on an out of bounds prior to pointing direction. The mechanic we have done for years will be reinstated It is illustrated on page 83 of the rule, number 8.

47. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Mechanics faceoff The faceoff is still a critical part of the game. We as officials need to follow the approved mechanic when conducting all faceoffs ensure they are conducted as quickly as possible, as fairly as possible and efficiently as possible. Not following the mechanic brings inconsistency to the process and confusion for the players involved.

48. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Mechanics faceoff Two officials conduct face off in the following manner. Single side official instructs players to go down and will make all physical adjustments to the faceoff men and their sticks. The lead left official checks neutral zone, player and stick position and verbally communicates this to the single side official and players. Both officials are responsible for calling violations. Once the players are in the proper position, the single side official shall place the ball on the ground, in between the head of each Crosse, paying close attention to placing the ball IN THE MIDDLE of the head of each Crosse.

49. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Mechanics faceoff Once the official is satisfied with the placement of the ball & of the positioning of the players crosses, he shall instruct the players to remain motionless by saying Set. MECHANICS NOTE: Officials will still have their hand on the crosses when the command of Set is given. After the Set command, the official shall back out and blow the whistle when he is clear of the scrimmage area. The official does not have to be stationary, and in all likelihood will still be moving backwards, when he blows the whistle to start play. The whistle cadence will vary with every faceoff. KEY - to get faceoff going as quickly and efficiently as possible

50. 2019 Rule and Mechanic Presentation Faceoff (Point of Emphasis) Rule 4 -3 b 4 Needs to be administered as written in rulebook 50
