Game Length —There are 4 quarters with a halftime break after the second quarter. The clock runs unless there is a timeout, or the referee signals for the time to stop. Penalties can be 30 seconds, 1 minute, or longer. The team plays one man down for the duration of the penalty.

Technical Fouls —Technical fouls are minor infractions resulting in a second trip to the penalty box or a change of possession.
