In 2024 the CMAS College of Referees undertook a review of the rules of Underwater Hockey. As a result of the first part of this review minor changes were made and these were approved:
- By the Nationals Federation at the 26 October 2024 meeting
- By the CMAS BOD at their meeting of 8 February 2025
The key changes made were:
- Combining the Parts 1 and 2 into a single document
- Clarification of the advantage rule
- Clarification of the time out period rules
- Other correction of grammar, spelling, & corrections for consistency
Other rule changes will be considered during 2025.
Version 13 of the rules will be used at all UWHNZ tournaments from 2025. A copy of the latest rules can be found here.
