Mandatory water breaks

Due to the hot weather there will be mandatory water breaks in all 11 v 11 games until further notice. Players are encouraged to stay hydrated during the game.

League rules on water breaks are as follows

Rule 12: WATER BREAKS
1. During very hot weather the OASC will announce a mandatory water break in each half of the game. The
announcement will be made on the web site, via social media and via email to both players and referees.

2. Water breaks will be announced by the referee at approximately the midway point of the half and should
commence at a stoppage in play.

3. Water breaks must not last longer than 2 minutes.

4. Extra time will not be added on by the referee to accommodate for lost time due to the water break.

5. Outside of a mandatory water break period, water breaks may only occur if both teams request them to the referee prior to the start of the game.
