•
After a goal each team will line up on its side of the halfway line and the referee will resume
play with a whistle.
•
If a ball goes out of bounds, the goalkeeper will restart play if an attacking player has last touched the ball. A corner throw can be taken at the two-meter line if a defending player has last touched the ball.
•
The referee shall restart play with a jump ball if two players commit a foul simultaneously.
•
The referee will signal a minor foul with a whistle and signal where the foul has taken place.

Restricting a player’s movement when taking a throw.
Touching the ball before it leaves the hand of the player taking the throw.
Kicking or hitting another player or attempting to do so. This can also result in permanent
removal from the game with substitution at the referee’s discretion.
A player is allowed three major fouls and then is excluded from further play in the game, but
may be substituted for at the ocean side/goal line buoy.
If the two teams in any match are tied at the end of play then a standard shoot out shall be used to
determine the winner with each team shooting five penalty shots at the goal in alternate succession. The goalies on surfboards will alternate in the same cage.
Each team shall designate five shooters by cap number. The white team shall shoot first. If there is still a tie after five shots, the shootout will continue one shot from each team until one team misses and the other makes its shot.
