1) 2 people of the opposite sex on the court at all time. ie 2 women, 3 men, or 3 women and 2 men.(these will be refered to as the proper player combinations below)

2) If a team has to play without the proper combination the other team is awarded 1 goal for that half and the team plays short. If the second half starts and the team has yet to meet the requirements, another goal is awarded to the other team.(max of 1 goal per half/2 goals per game can be awarded to the other team). The goal penalty is awarded immediately at the start of the half. If the team starts the half with an improper combination they are immediately penalized. If a player shows up at a later time, they are allowed to come on to fullfill the proper combination but the goal will not be removed.

3) If during the half, the team that was penalized can now play the proper combination the ref will allow the player to come onto the court but the goal will not be taken away

4) if the team is caught with an improper player combination on the court(ie bad line change) no goal will be awarded. The team will play 2 minutes short. After the 2 minutes the referee is to allow the team to place a player to complete the proper combination. At that time, if the proper combination cannot be met, then 1 goal is awarded to the other team(as long as it has not been penalized with a goal already) and the team will have to play short.

5) If during the course of the game a team is reduced to playing without the proper combination and can no longer place the correct combination of players(ie injury or player must leave), then the team is penalized 1 goal after playing short for 2 minutes, and must play short for the remanider of the game or until someone can go onto the court to fill the proper combination.

6) if both teams do not have enough players to setup a proper combination, it will be up to the managers to decide whether to play short or to play 5 players of the wrong combination. If a displut occurs, then both teams will play short.

Examples:

i) A and B have a game. A cannot start the game with the proper combination. They start the game playing one man short and B is awarded 1 goal. 2 minutes after the start of the game A gets a player to fullfill the proper combination. The ref is to allow the player to come on, but B still has the 1 goal. Now A gets an injury and can no longer full fill the combination. They play short, but another goal is not given to B. If A cannot start the second half with the proper combination another goal is awarded to B. 1 goal max per half.

ii) If both A and B start the game with proper combination, but A gets an injury during the game and can no longer have a proper combination, then they play short and 2 minutes later if the person cannot go back onto the court 1 goal is awarded to B. If at the start of the second half, A still does not have the proper combination they will continue to play short and B is awarded another goal.

iii) A and B start the game OK. A has a bad line change. They are caught with an improper combination. The ref sends the player off for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes A can place a player on the floor to have the proper combination. If they cannot, they continue to play short until they can and 1 goal is given to B, if a goal has not been awared to B during that half yet.
