Game Overview - Falling
- A Dodger that falls before the end of the Round is Out. This counts toward scoring same as being hit.
- A Fielder that falls has no effect. Unless injured, the Fielder simply stands and resumes playing.
- If a Dodger (In Play) Falls while committing a minor penalty (example: stepping out of bounds) the Skater is simply Out and the penalty for the minor is ignored.
Details - Special Cases - Exceptions
 A Fall is defined as an action where any part of a skater's body or equipment (other than the skates) touches the floor AND it is supporting the weight of the skater. Note: It is possible that while stooping to pick up a ball a skater's finger tips or knee might lightly skim the floor. This situation does not constitute a fall as the skater's weight was not supported by his finger tips or knee.
If a Dodger falls after a Round ends, then it does not matter and does not count toward calculating which team(s) score one point for the Round.
