A regulation game should consist of:
- U16 and older at the AA level: four ten-minute periods of actual playing time (stop time).
- U16 and older below AA: two twenty-minute periods.
- U14 and younger: two fifteen-minute periods.
If periods of those lengths are not possible, equal-length periods are played. Overtime is at the discretion of the tournament organizers or local governing body, overtime periods should be the same length as regulation periods, and any penalty not expired at the end of regulation time remains in effect.
