A. Discipline

1. Yellow Cards

I. Team Officials are responsible for tracking yellow card accumulations for all players registered on their team. Once a player has accumulated three, five, or seven yellow cards during the current season, they MUST sit out their next CMSA league game(s), and indicate on the game sheet the serving of the game(s) suspension(s).

• Yellow cards accumulated while playing up count towards a player’s overall total.

• Two Caution Cards received by a player in a single game do not count towards the yellow card accumulation suspensions

A. Discipline (Continued)

1. Red Cards

I. When a player receives a red card during a game or afterwards, that player must leave the field of play immediately and will be escorted by team bench personnel off the pitch without retrieving their belongings. A field marshal or adult team designate shall then escort the player to a location out of the pitch area, out of view of the referee, they are forbidden to return to that area for the remainder of that day.

II. Once the misconduct report is submitted to the CMSA office by the referee, the player, coach, and club will be notified of any suspension resulting from the red card. The result will be emailed out within 10 days of receiving the report.

B. Post Season CompetitionExpectations• By registering in CMSA, your team is committing to any post season competition (Provincials,

Inter-Cities) that the team may qualify for. Post Season Play forms MUST be completed by each team, indicating your teams intentions. Forms are due by May 30, 2014. A Club whose team withdraws from any post season competition – after completing the Post Season Play form indicating yes they will play - prior to or during the event for any reason (including the inability to field a team) will be subject to a financial penalty as determined by CMSA and ASA.
