FIELD hockey will no longer be a game of two halves at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics, with the sport announcing yesterday a change to a four-quarter format to broaden its appeal to broadcasters and fans.
The International Hockey Federation said in a statement that four 15-minute quarters would replace the previous two 35-minute halves. Playing time will be maximized, however, with the introduction of 40-second time-outs following the award of a penalty corner and the scoring of a goal.
