2d. (as of Nov 26, 2009) Team default due to an insufficient number of players.

Before the game begins:

A team must have a total of either five (5) skaters and one (1) goalie, or six (6) skaters and no goalie, to start a game.

If a team has an insufficient number of players, that team has up to 20 minutes into the ice time to reach the minimum number of players before the game is officially declared a default. If the game is scheduled for 10:00PM-11:15PM, the team has up until 10:20PM to reach the minimum number of players.

However, for regular season games only, before the game is officially declared a default, the team (team "A") that would have won by default, at its sole discretion also has the option to provide substitute players to the other team (team "B") that would have lost by default.

If team "A" makes the decision to provide team "B" with substitute players, the substitute players will be listed on the score sheet as substitute players for team "B" and the player stats for the substitute players will count towards team "B". However, if any of the substitute players are assessed penalties that result in suspensions, the suspensions for the substitute players will be served under team "A" their regular team, and not team "B" the team that the substitute players only substituted for. Once the substitute players are provided to team "B" and the game has begun, the substitute players must play for team "B" for the duration of the game and may not return to play for team "A" at any point of the game. The final score of the game will stand as the official result. If team "A" ends up losing the game, the game result may not be appealed.

After the game begins:

If at any point in a game, a team does not have a total of either five (5) skaters and one (1) goalie, or six (6) skaters and no goalie, that team will default. The team that would win by default does not have the choice to provide substitute players to the other team once the game has begun. If a team is playing with six (6) skaters and no goalie, and is losing, and reaches a score deferential of 10 goals (as an example, the team with no goalie is losing by a score of 2-12), then immediately after the 10th goal differential, the game will be declared over and the game will end at that point.
