Major Rule Changes
- In the last 30 seconds of a half, with the defensive team behind with no more time outs, a defensive foul cannot prevent the half to end except for the normal options that are available to the offensive team.
- Pass interference will not be called if there was incidental contact, or if when players make simultaneous attempts to catch, tip, block, or bat the ball.
- A player may not use a helmet, that is no longer worn by anyone, as a weapon to strike or hit an opponent.
