Sound horn:

twice at next dead ball for substitution violations
Focus on every start and stop of whistle
Keep players behind line so scorer’s view is clear
Keep substitution area clear for safety

12. Timing Procedures Four 12-minute quarters (JV is 10-minute)
Confirm with referee before game starts
Stop and start clocks with whistle
Face-offs: start time on first whistle
Overtime – 4-minute periods
Need to confirm this info is correct for our league. I pulled it from a US LAX guide

13. Timing Procedures End of Quarter

If non-visible scoreboard clock:
For all quarters:
Give officials notification at 20-sec left
Count-down from 10 sec and sound horn at 0

14. About Penalties Penalty times vary depending on type of foul:
Technical Fouls: 30 seconds
Personal Fouls: 1 to 3 minutes depending on infraction (if a player accumulates 5 minutes of personal foul time, player is disqualified from participating in remainder of game)
Personal Fouls are either:
RELEASABLE: Player is released when the penalty time expires OR when the opposing team scores a goal. Multiple releasable penalties on a single player are all released on an opposing goal.
NON RELEASABLE: Player is released ONLY when the penalty time expires. Non-releasable penalties are served first if there are multiple penalties on one player.

15. Timing Player Penalties
Penalty timing stops & starts with game timing
Preferably on same clock
Technical foul: 30-seconds
Personal foul: 1-3 minutes
Official will indicate time
Official will indicate if penalty is non-releasable
Penalty time carries over to next period
