Defence score on an incomplete pass and two for a successful tie up.

(Coaches may decide to add another defenseman) By adding an offensive defenseman to support the net forward is another variation. Low corner forwards may decide to pass to the net forward or to the high defenseman. He may drive to overload the defence in front or to shoot. Coach add these new rules or other variations by adding supporting players and defenders.
