• The winning goal contest is started with three (3) different players/teams, which the team coach informs the referee of the match immediately after the end of the playing time.
• If the situation is still tied after three shots, the winning shots will be continued one pair of shots at a time with the "once over" principle. The match is decided when the other team's player succeeds in scoring and his partner does not.
• The winning goal contest is started by the away team marked in the program.

Only the decisive goal is recorded in the final result of the match. The deciding goal is credited to the player who took the shot.

in the direction of a new puck, which the players coming off the shift have the right to immediately skate to and
continue playing. The second, or previously played, puck is picked up by the ice referee and repeated
the described procedure in case of a new shift signal after 60 seconds.

After the goal there is always faceoff from middle ice.

The team which is called out first is the home-team, and accordingly, the second called out team is the guest-team. The home-team plays in dark-colored forms, and consequently, the guest-team plays in the light-colored forms.
