All times are running times. As of the semifinals: should the goal difference of a game be one or less during the last two minutes of the game, the clock will be stopped during any interruptions to the game. The rest of the game is then continued in effective playing time.
Should the semifinal games or the final game end in a tie, 5 minutes running overtime will be played with sudden death. If there is no winner, each team designates three players to place one penalty shot each. Should this procedure fail to produce a winning team, penalty shots will continue with 1 alternate player from each team, until a team is one goal ahead of the other team. No player may shoot a second penalty until all of his team mates have attempted a penalty shot.
Time-out: allowed only as of the semi-finals for 30 seconds – time will be stopped
