Air Hockey Rules

home | rules of the games | air hockey
  1. The first player to accumulate seven points (score 7 goals) wins the game.
  2. When the puck enters and drops inside a player's goal, the player's opponent receives one point.
  3. After each game, players will alternate table-sides.
  4. The player scored upon receives possession of the puck for the next serve.
  5. A player may hand serve the puck only after it has entered his goal.
  6. A player may play with only one mallet on the playing surface at one time. Violation results in a foul.
  7. The puck may be struck with any part of the mallet.
  8. The puck cannot be "topped" by lifting the mallet and placing it on the top of the puck. This cannot be done at any time whether before a serve or after a serve during play. Violation constitutes a foul. Using the mallet to bring an airborne puck to the table or opponent's goal is not a topping violation no matter which side or edge of the puck is contacted.
  9. Only one puck may be in play at a given moment.
  10. A player has seven seconds to execute a shot, which crosses the centreline. The seven seconds begins as soon as the puck enters and remains on that player's side of the centreline. Violation of this rule is a foul.
  11. When the puck is in contact with any part of the centreline, either player may strike the puck.
  12. A player may stand anywhere around the table on his/her side of the centreline. He/she may not stand past that line.
  13. If any part of a player's hand, arm, body, or clothes touches the puck, "palming" will be called by the referee, which constitutes a foul.
  14. Each player may take one time-out per game. The time-out may be no longer than 10 seconds.
  15. A player may exercise his/her time-out only when the puck is in his/her possession or not in play.
  16. A player must make a clear indication of time-out so that the referee understands the player's intention.
