Guest Rule (Cont…)

Blowout Rule

season. Runaway or blowout scores are
outside the spirit of the game and are
discouraged by CCSL. Teams will have
one (1) point deducted from their
standings for a goal differential greater
that seven (7).
– This applies to all teams in the spring.

request to the referee for a hydration break.
– The referee will inform both teams of the request
– At a point near the middle of each half, when play has
been stopped, the referee will announce the hydration
break and players will be allowed the opportunity to
go to the bench area for liquids for about 30 seconds.
– Either team may substitute during hydration breaks
