Overtime Rules

Overtime period will be 2 minutes of stop time
A second overtime will also be 2 minutes of stop time (if necessary)
If after two overtime periods the teams are tied, there will be a sudden death period where the first team to score wins the game
Full court pressing is allowed in the over time and subsequent overtime periods. (No pressing allowed in 5/6)
One timeout per overtime period
Substitution of layers in the overtime period will be identical to regulation play. There will be no triple shifting of any players unless there are 7 or fewer players on your team. This substitution pattern will repeat itself if a second overtime or sudden death period is necessary

Example:
If a player plays the 7th and 8th shift of a game (because there are less than 10 players on that team at the game), that player cannot play in the first over time period, but can in the second OT period should one be necessary. If a second OT period and/or third OT period is required, all players on the bench must be inserted, with the remaining filled by a player who has not played two shifts in a row (for instance, player plays shift 8 of regulation and 1st OT period, player could not play 2nd OT unless only 7 players on the team).
