All FIFA rules will apply with the following exceptions:

player that does not impact another player will result in a foul
resulting in a change of possession/ indirect kick. A “field player” is defined as any player that is not the Goalie; however, if the Goalie ventures outside of the 18, the Goalie would be considered a field player at that moment. - Unlimited substitution on goal kicks and throw-ins
- Flat wedding bands may be worn – no other jewelry allowed
- When a field player receives a yellow card, they must leave the field and can be replaced by a substitute (does not apply to goalkeeper). That player can re-enter the game at the next goal kick or throw-in
- When a field player or goalie violates the SABR Code of Conduct, they will be removed from the field by a SABR Manager, without stoppage of play and without substitution until the next goal kick or throw-in.
- Aggressive or Violent play or behavior during SABR events is not tolerated and will render a Player to be ineligible to play with SABR
