  2. The game will consist of 4 quarters each of 10 minutes duration.
  3. A team must field a minimum of 9 players at the commencement of the game. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.

  5. Solo running with the sliotar on the Hurley is permitted.
  6. Side to Side (shoulder) charge is permitted.
  7. A player who catches the sliotar may take four steps with it in his hand before playing it away.
  8. The player who is fouled should take the free by lifting and striking the ball without taking it in his hand or by striking it on the ground.
  9. When a player fouls the sliotar (e.g., over carries it), the opponent nearest to the sliotar takes the free puck.
  10. When a free is awarded, the sliotar is to be given to the player taking the free puck. If this does not happen, the ball is advanced 5m.
  11. When a team plays the sliotar over the side-line, the opponent nearest to where the sliotar crosses the line takes the side-line puck from the ground.
  12. Opposing players must be at least 10m from the player taking the free puck, side-line puck, or puck out. Free pucks should be no closer than 20m from the opposing end line.
  13. In the event of a draw at the end of normal time, 5 minutes per half extra will be played. If the sides are still level at the end of extra time, 5 different players on each team will alternately take a 20m free. If a player fails to raise the ball, he may hit it on the ground but may not attempt to raise it again. If the sides are still level at the end of 5 frees per team, sudden death applies.
