On-field rule changes for 2020

[one-eyed]

On the field, the rules will remain the same as in Round 1 with one exception.

Quarter and three-quarter-time will last eight minutes each, up from six, and quarters will stay at 16 minutes plus time on, however there will now be 60 seconds between a goal and play restarting, instead of 45.

The protocols confirm rotations will still be capped at 90, and quarters will be 16 minutes plus time on as they were before the shutdown in round one.

Players must stay 1.5 metres apart on the bench and are not permitted to deliver high fives or handshakes. Social distancing for the club song after wins will be enforced.
