A post from the league to Laura about fair play and discipline:
Managers, a reminder: If you see anything on field that is dangerous or that could lead to dangerous situation, please go see the opposing team manager right away. You don't have to wait for halftime meeting with ref. For example, if you or your team identifies a hot and out of control player, that player should leave field for 5-10 minutes. Encourage your OWN players to get a hot teammate off the field.
Introduce yourself and the captain to the ref at beginning so if you need to talk to him he knows who you are. If one of your players is getting elbowed, for example, they should talk to their captain and/or manager, who can then point it out to ref.
In order to encourage clean play in our League the following rules are now in effect:
- Any player with 4 yellows in one season is suspended one game. 3 further yellows (after a 4 yellow suspension) will be cause for another suspension and appearance in front of Disciplinary Committee (DC). Note that this is cumulative through the calendar year. A calendar year begins in Spring season and ends in Fall season. It means cards and disciplinary points carry over from Spring into Fall.
- Any team earning 10 Disciplinary Points (DP's) in Spring Season loses 1 points in Spring standings.
- Any team earning 20 DP's total for Spring and Fall seasons loses 2 points in Fall standings.
- Any team earning 30 DP's total for Spring and Fall seasons loses 3 points in Fall standings

Laura, how many points are cards worth? Is a yellow, one point and a red two? It wasn't explained in the Discipline Committee's email.
A yellow card is 1 disciplinary point. A red card is two.
