[Update to the Official Rules: Timeouts temporarily banned]

I think this rule needs some clarification. Does this mean that it is not allowed to take a break (press START) and then in a next step take a timeout (these are 2 different steps in my opinion) or is it already forbidden to press START. Because I can remember a lot of situations where it could be useful to just take a break even without a timeout (freezing players, network issues, goalie controls that were automatically resetted). But then it will probably often not be possible for the opponent to recognize if a timeout was taken in the break or not. Thanks for clarification

[New division and promotion structure [UPDATED 17/03/21]]

Anyway, it should be secured that players are not allowed to play solely a qualification tournament for one team and then go back to their origin team. In my opinion the current roster rules definitely need some adjustments to prevent player rentals from teams that don’t have to participate in any qualification cups.
