If a player does not possess a passport then the next level of verification will be a birth certificate (original or certified copy). Thirdly, a colour photocopy of the player’s current driver’s licence will be accepted. 2. We do not have the capacity to check residency or if a player has played for another country in the last 12 months. This onus is on the player’s country and WGMA will work on a basis of trust. 3. The process will be: a. age verification papers as described above should be provided by the team manager to the TD, or their appropriate appointee, at a training session before the event; b. if the team does not arrive in time for a training session, then the team manager must arrange a time with the TD prior to the first match; Page 12 of 19 c. the team manager remains present during the verification check so a custody of the originals/photocopies is not compromised; d. once the verification check is completed, the original/photocopies are returned to the team manager who in turn returns them to all players; e. A digital copy of the proof of age documents will be accepted - e.g. on a USB drive. Code of Conduct A Code of Conduct will not be required to be signed prior to the Tournament. The submission of a team list signed by the respective team manager to the Tournament Director will be considered as recognition that all personnel named on the team list have agreed to comply with the FIH Code of Conduct. Tournament Rules and Regulations This competition will be played in accordance with 2015 FIH Rules – Outdoor Hockey, and the FIH Tournament Regulations – November 2015, Amendments to FIH Tournament Regulations for Masters Hockey and WGMA Variations to those Regulations. Match Format for all games - WGMA World Cup and Tournament Trophy 1. A match consists of 4 periods of 17.5 minutes. 2. At the end of the first and third period there shall be an interval of 2 minutes. During this interval, teams are not permitted to leave the field of play. 3. At the end of the second period there shall be an interval of 10 minutes. During this interval Team officials and players may leave the technical facility area surrounding the field of play only with the prior permission of the Technical Officer on duty. In doing so, players must leave their sticks and goalkeepers their sticks, hand protectors and headgear at or near the team bench. Play is resumed by a centre pass which is taken by the team that did not take the centre pass for the first period. 4.

Play for the fourth period is resumed by a centre pass is taken by the team that started the third period. 5. No time out for penalty corners and goals. As stated in the FIH Tournament Regulations there will be a Penalty Shoot-out Competition NOT a Penalty Stroke Competition, to establish the winner of a classification match or final. There will also be a Penalty Shoot-out Competition to establish the third placed teams in the World Cup 60s Division. The method for this three-way competition is as follows: Procedure for 3-way shoot-out to determine the two third placed teams, qualifying for the quarter finals in the GM60s competition. 1. The current FIH Rules of Hockey and Tournament Regulations (Appendix 11) will apply to the taking of the shoot-outs. 2. As shoot-outs are between teams that have not played each other before, the order in which the shoot-outs will be held is as follows: 3B vs 3C Page 13 of 19 3A vs 3C 3A vs 3B 3. The relevant text regarding the ranking can be found in FIH Tournament Regulations, Appendix 3 – 2.2 g-j. 4. In addition to Appendix 3, clause 2.2 j: a. If equality remains only between the 1st and 2nd ranked team, the procedure need not be repeated, as the teams will automatically be paired in the quarter finals with a team that they have not played before. b. If equality remains only between the 2nd and 3rd ranked team, the procedure is repeated between those two teams only to determine the second team qualifying for the quarter finals. Non National Teams There are no Non National Teams in the WGMA World Cup.
