Section 6: Scoring
Goal (Rule 6.6.1): A goal is scored when the ball, whether loose or in a Player's possession, completely passes through the plane of the goal. A valid shot on goal requires the Player's stick head to be above the Goal Line Extended when the ball is released, thrown with the intent to score (Rule 6.6.1).
Scorer (Rule 6.6.2): The last attacking Player who provided sufficient force or impetus for the ball to pass through the goal plane is credited with the goal; if a defensive Player provides that force, it is scored as an own goal credited to the offensive team's designated In-Home.
No goal (Rule 6.6.3): A goal is disallowed if, among other listed circumstances, the ball is released after the quarter or shot clock has expired, an official's whistle has already sounded, the scoring team has too many Players on the field, or the goal-scorer's stick is subsequently found illegal on a requested stick check before the next live ball.
Deciding the winner: Total goals across the four regulation quarters decide the winner. If tied, the game proceeds to overtime under Rule 5.1.4 — a full three-minute stopped-time period is played, with the leading team at its conclusion declared the winner, repeating in further three-minute periods until decided (see Section 5).
Forfeit scoring (Rule 5.5.1, 5.5.3): A team failing to appear, failing to finish a contest, or unable to field the minimum of six Players (including a designated Goalkeeper) forfeits by a score of 1-0.
