If the plyer tking the push or hit from the ck-line feints t plying the ll, the offending plyer is required to go eyond the centre line ut is replced y nother ttcker; if this feinting leds to wht would otherwise e rech of this rule y defender, only the ttcker is required to go eyond the centre line Suject to the ove, the penlty corner is re-tken. If nother rech of Rule 13.3.h s descried in this regultion occurs during the re-tken penlty corner, further consequences pply s specified ove (eg for second offence of this rule y defender on the ck-line, the tem defends the penlty corner with not more thn three plyers). A susequent penlty corner (s opposed to re-tken penlty corner) my e defended y not more thn five plyers. 2 GREEN CARD TWO MINUTE SUSPENSION Rule 14.1.: For ny offence, the offending plyer my e wrned (indicted y green crd).

If the offending plyer is golkeeper or plyer with golkeeping privileges, the Technicl Officil on duty notifies the Umpires when the period of suspension hs een completed; the Umpires stop the time t the next stoppge of ply to enle tht plyer to resume ply. 3 YELLOW CARD TEMPORARY SUSPENSION Rule 14.1.c: For ny offence, the offending plyer my e temporrily suspended for minimum of 5 minutes of plying time (indicted y yellow crd).

The following points will e wrded for ech mtch: - three points to the winner of mtch t the end of regultion time; - two points to the winner of shoot-out competition, where the score is tied t the end of regultion time: - one point to the loser of shoot-out competition, where the score is tied t the end of regultion time; - no points to the loser of mtch t the end of regultion time. 2.2 In ny other one pool competition, points will e wrded ccording to cluse 2.1 in Appendix Rnking in pool is determined ccording to cluse 2.2 in Appendix 3. 3 CLASSIFICATION MATCHES 3.1 This regultion pplies only to the finl clssifiction ply-off competition if it is to e plyed fter the one pool competition. 3.2 The tems for the clssifiction mtches will e s follows lthough the mtches will not necessrily e plyed in this order: 7 th Rnked Tem v 8 th Rnked Tem (to determine 7 th nd 8 th plces) 5 th Rnked Tem v 6 th Rnked Tem (to determine 5 th nd 6 th plces) 3 rd Rnked Tem v 4 th Rnked Tem (to determine 3 rd nd 4 th plces) 1 st Rnked Tem v 2 nd Rnked Tem (to determine 1 st nd 2 nd plces) 3.3 The score t the end of the regultion time of ny mtch will e registered y the FIH s the result of the mtch. 3.4 If t the end of the regultion time the result is drw, in order to estlish n outright winner of clssifiction mtch for the purpose of the competition, the durtion of tht mtch shll e extended (extr time). The Umpires will toss coin with the cptins nd the winner will hve the choice of ends or possession of the ll to re-strt the mtch. Extr time will strt five (5) Pge 21

23 minutes fter the end of regultion time. Extr time will consist of two periods of seven nd hlf (7½) minutes ech; in etween tems will chnge ends without n intervl. 3.5 The extr-time shll cese, once tem hs scored or een wrded gol. Tht tem shll e the winner of the mtch. 3.6 If the score is still drw t the end of the extr-time, shoot-out competition s specified in Appendix 9 will e plyed to estlish the winner of the mtch.

If there remins equlity mong two or more tems, then these tems will e rnked ccording to their respective gol difference (which mens gols for less gols ginst ). A positive gol difference lwys tkes precedence over negtive one. If there still remins equlity mong two or more tems, then these tems will e rnked ccording to their respective numer of gols for. Should there still remin equlity mong two tems, then the result of the mtch plyed etween those tems will determine the rnking of the tied tems. If more thn two tems re involved, then rnking sed upon the results of the mtches mong (only) them shll determine their respective position, sed upon the points wrded in ccordnce with prgrph 2.1 or 2.2, s pproprite, of this ppendix. If there remins equlity, then the tems involved shll e rnked ccording to prgrphs 2.3.,, c, nd d of this Appendix. Should there still remin equlity mong two tems, then the rnking will e determined y shoot-out competition etween those tems (for detils see Appendix 8 of these Regultions). If more thn two tems re involved, then ech tem will ply shoot-out competition ginst the other tems in the sme sequence of ply s the order of ply in the competition, in ccordnce with Appendix 8 of these Regultions ut with one round of 5 shoot-outs only to e tken compulsorily y ech tem. A rnking will then e estlished sed upon the results of the round of the shoot-out competition only, with the wrd for ech ply of 3 points to the tem hving scored the highest numer of gols, 1 point to ech tem hving scored n equl numer of gols nd 0 points to the tem hving scored the lowest numer of gols. If equlity remins then tems hving n equl numer of points shll e rnked ccording to prgrphs 2.3.,, c nd d s pplied to gols recorded during the shootout competition. If n equl position of three (or more) tems still remins therefter, then the sme procedure shll e repeted until the tems cn e rnked. The Tournment Director shll mke drw to tke plce to estlish ech sequence of ply if such further rounds of shoot-outs re required. Pge 23

If the numers re uneven, one of the pools will comprise one more tem thn the other. 1.2 The two pools will e composed s follows sed on their FIH World Rnking s t the dte when the mtch schedule is greed: POOL A POOL B If one or more tem(s) does not prticipte, reserve tem(s), if clled upon, will, in principle, tke the plce of the defulting tem(s). The FIH reserves the right to exercise n unfettered discretion to re-rrnge the composition of the pools prior to the pre-tournment riefing meeting. 2. RANKING IN THE POOLS 2.1 In FIH World Legue Round 1 nd 2 tournments, in ech pool, ll the tems will ply ginst ech other. If the score is equl t the end of regultion time, shoot-out competition s specified in Appendix 9 will e plyed to estlish the winner of the mtch. The following points will e wrded for ech mtch: - three points to the winner of mtch t the end of regultion time; - two points to the winner of shoot-out competition, where the score is tied t the end of regultion time: - one point to the loser of shoot-out competition, where the score is tied t the end of regultion time; - no points to the loser of mtch t the end of regultion time 2.2 Rnking in pool is determined ccording to Appendix CLASSIFICATION MATCHES 3.1 The semi-finls will e s follows lthough the mtches will not necessrily e plyed in this order: 1st Pool A v 2nd Pool B 1st Pool B v 2nd Pool A Pge 24

However, where there re either 9, or 13 tems in the tournment, the tem finishing ottom of the pool which hd the odd numer of tems will not ply clssifiction mtches, nd will utomticlly e rnked in the lst plce in the tournment. 3.7 The score t the end of the regultion time of ny mtch will e registered y the FIH s the result of the mtch. 3.8 If t the end of the regultion time the result is drw, in order to estlish n outright winner of clssifiction mtch for the purpose of the competition, the durtion of tht mtch shll e Pge 25
