At the AGM of January 11, 2025, the league announced that it was formalized what had been an informal rule about hydration breaks. Starting with the 2025, any time the temperature is 85 degrees or higher, there will be a hydration break at approximately halfway between quarters. Unlike halftime, the hydration breaks will be a running clock. Please inform the referees about this change, and emphasize that it is a running clock so there is no confusion about the total game time – which remains at 100 minutes.
