A spirit timeout may be requested by one or both teams’ ambassador(s) if they believe that either or both teams have failed to follow the Spirit of the Game and/or PUL rules, and (1) game play has become dangerous; or (2) repeated Spirit of the Game and/or PUL rules violations are causing conflict between the teams.
Team ambassadors from each team have discussed the need to call a spirit timeout before requesting the spirit timeout. It is not required that both team ambassadors agree that a spirit timeout is necessary.
