Article 31.
Beginning of the Game, Main Game Clock and Time-Outs
31.1. The teams may not use any excuse for not holding a game or
delaying its start when they have been required by the referees
to start. Any refusal to comply with the referees' order may be
considered as failure to appear.
31.2. The main game clock must always display the countdown until
the beginning of play in the following situations: during pregame,
intervals of play between periods and half-time and
before any extra periods.
31.3. The duration of time-outs will be one full minute.
31.4. TV Time-Outs
The Company reserves the right to apply TV time-outs in all
games. In such a case four mandatory TV time-outs will be
applied per game, one in each period. All TV time-outs will have
a duration of 60 seconds each. TV time-outs will not exist in
extra periods.
TV time-outs will be applied in the following manner:
a) The first 30- or 60-second time-out requested by a team in
any period will be considered a TV time-out and will have
aduration of 60 seconds. This time-out will count as both a
TV time-out and the respective 30- or 60-second time-out
for the team that has requested it.
b) If neither team has requested a time-out before the last
five minutes remaining in the period then a TV time-out will
be granted at the first opportunity when the ball is dead
and the game clock is stopped, with the main game clock
displaying 04:59 or less time. This time-out will not be
charged against either team.
The timer will be the person responsible for calling all TV timeouts.
When appropriate the speaker will have to announce using the
public address system that it is a TV time-out and not a regular
time-out charged to either team.
