For regular season games, the finalists will have three 20-minute periods of stoppage time with the ice resurfacer (Zamboni) between each period. Playoff games will proceed as in the regular season.<br\/>II. Referees have the option to stop the clock (depending on available ice time) in the event of injuries, if a team intentionally delays the game*, and in any other circumstance they deem appropriate. *This may also result in a minor penalty for the offending team.<br\/>III. Playoff games for <strong>8-team divisions<\/strong> will proceed as follows: The teams that finished in the top 4 positions in the regular season will face the teams that finished in the bottom 4 positions. After these four games, the playoff standings, based on the same criteria as the RH-13 rules, will determine the quarter-final matchups for the eight teams as follows: 1st vs. 8th, 2nd vs. 7th, 3rd vs. 6th, and 4th vs. 5th. The winning teams from these quarter-finals will face each other in the semi-finals as follows: the quarter-final winner with the most points accumulated during the playoffs will face the quarter-final winner with the fewest playoff points. The two other quarter-final winners will then face each other. The two winning teams will advance to the final.         <br>IV. If the quarter-final or semi-final matches end in a tie, a 5-minute 3-on-3 period will be added, and if after this period of extra time the tie persists, we will proceed to a series of 3 penalty shots per team, then move to &#8220;sudden death&#8221; if the tie still persists. <br><strong>V. For divisions with 4, 6, or 12 or more teams, a round-robin tournament is generally used, with semifinals (or conference finals) to determine who will play the championship game.<\/strong><br\/>VI. If the championship game ends in a tie, a 20-minute overtime period will be added (depending on ice availability). If, for any reason, we cannot extend the rental time, we will proceed with a penalty shootout.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-14011\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"12\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-14011\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> HR - 12 - Overtime Period <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-14011\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7110dff e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7110dff\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2a6888 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a2a6888\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>From now on, if a match ends in a tie and time allows, a 5-minute period of continuous 3-on-3 play will be added, starting 30 seconds after the end of the match.
