Rule 7.6.1 Simultaneous Fouls 7.6.1 Simultaneous fouls are fouls called on players of

opposing teams during a live ball or a dead ball when sequence cannot be determined.

7.6.2 During a slow whistle or play-on, any foul committed by the

team in possession (or entitled to possession) shall result in an immediate whistle.

7.6.3 Penalty time If there is no play-on or flag down in effect and if all fouls are

technical, the fouls cancel. If the team in possession (or entitled to possession) commits:

Only technical fouls, no penalty time will be served by that team. Any personal foul, all players involved will serve penalty time.

Rule 7.6.4 Award The Ball 7.6.4 Award the ball

When penalty time is awarded and one team incurs less total penalty time than its opponent, that team shall be awarded the ball.

When penalty times are equal or all fouls cancel: If a team has possession or is entitled to possession at the time of the

flag or whistle, that team shall retain possession. If neither team has possession at the time of the fouls, the ball shall be

awarded according to the alternate-possession rule or, when a faceoff is pending in this situation, the faceoff will be held.

When play is resumed either by award or possession, field position of the ball shall be provided for as in Rule 7-3.

7-3 Exception: For simultaneous fouls where time is to be served by each team, the ball will be put in play at the spot where the ball was when the whistle blew or laterally outside the goal area nearest to the spot of the ball at the time of the whistle.

Rule 7.2.1d Penalty Release Multiple Fouls Penalty Release

For the purpose of determining when a player or players may be released from a penalty, for all time-serving penalties called on players of opposing teams from the time the flag is dropped or the whistle sounds stopping play (whichever occurs first), until the sounding of the whistle resuming play, the lesser amount of penalty time shall be treated as non-releasable.

When two or more players from opposing teams are sent out of the game, and the penalty time for each player is the same, the players shall not be released from the penalty area until their full penalty time has been served.

If the penalty time of a player(s) on one team is longer than the penalty time of a player(s) on the other team, then no one shall be released from the penalty area until the shorter penalty time has elapsed. At that time, the player(s) with the shorter penalty time shall be released from the penalty area. The other player(s) shall remain until such time as his penalty time has elapsed, or his team has been scored upon.

Players serving multiple simultaneous penalties shall serve the full time of all non-releasable penalties first. After the non-releasable time has been served, should a goal be scored during the releasable penalty time, the player could return to the game, but not if a goal is scored during the non-releasable penalty time.
