1. If the weather delay is from 1 to 15 minutes
a. All games will resume from point of stoppage
b. However, if there is less than 5 minutes to completion of the match, then the Referee will declare the game complete.
c. If the game is a tie with less than 5 minutes to go, then the Referee will call the game a tie. However, if the game is a semifinal or final game, then the game will resume with a shoot-out.
2. If the weather delay is from 15 to 30 minutes:
a. If the match is in the first half, the match will begin with the second half and the second half will be 15 minutes in length.
b. If the match is in the second half with less than 15 minutes played, the match will continue with 10 minutes remaining.

3. If the weather delay is more than 30 minutes:
a. If the match is in the first half, the match will begin with the second half and the second half will be 15 minutes in length.
