A tied game will be broken o determine winner by playing up to two 15-minute sudden victory periods of teams consisting of six field players and a goalkeeper. All game rules apply with the following modifications: a. On penalty corners, the defending team is permitted to have only four players behind its goal line (goalkeeper and three field players). The penalty corner will be played out at the end of overtime as it is during regulation play. b. Any player who has been disqualified during regulation play is not eligible for the overtime periods. A player suspended during regulation play would be eligible at the end of the suspension. Any player who has not completed a suspension or was disqualified during the overtime periods shall not be eligible for penalty strokes. c. Each team will begin the first overtime with six field players and a goalkeeper unless players were disqualified or have not completed a suspension during any previous playing period. d. The game is completed as soon as a goal has been scored. e. There will be a five-minute timeout between the end of regulation and the first overtime period, and a two-minute timeout between the overtime periods. 2. If the score remains tied at the end of the second extra period, a series of penalty strokes will be taken. A coin toss will give a team the choice to attack or defend. Five players from each team shall take a penalty stroke alternately against the same goalkeeper from the opposing team. The official will address the goalkeeper first and the stroker second. The team awarded the highest number of goals shall be the winner. Once the stroke procedure is decisive, the game shall be complete, and no more strokes need to be taken. The coach will be given a maximum of two minutes to turn in the lineup for penalty strokes. 22

3. In the event of a remaining tie, a second series of penalty strokes will be taken by the same players. The order may be changed but not the players. The goalkeeper who defended first in the first set will defend second in the second set. The team awarded the highest number of goals shall be the winner. 4. If no decision is reached after the second series of penalty strokes, a sudden death procedure will be used to break the tie. There will be a third series of penalty strokes taken by the same group of players; however, once again, the order may be changed. The goalkeeper who defended first in the first set will defend first in this set. The first team awarded more goals than its opponent after and equal number of strokes shall be the winner. 5. If an overtime game goes into penalty strokes, a total of one goal is awarded for the winner of the set, rather than the total number of goals scored in the set. 23
