Rule 7 Penalty Administration Issuance of Cards Flashcards
Issuance of Cards Delay of Game Section 30.
Timeout must be called to administer a delay of game card. The first violation should be followed by a green card which shall be recorded in the scorebook against the offending team. A change of possession takes place if applicable for the minor foul.
On the next delay of game the official will show a green and yellow card to the offending player and award the appropriate penalty (major foul). The offending player must leave the field and enter the penalty area for 2 minutes of elapsed playing time which will carry over to the second half or overtime if necessary. The team will play short below the restraining line in both its offensive and defensive ends of the field for the entire penalty time. This card is not included in the team card count. Any subsequent delay of game offenses will result in a yellow card for misconduct and will be included in the team card count.
Issuance of Cards Misconduct and Suspension Section 31.
The penalty for misconduct shall be the same as for all major fouls. In addition to awarding a free position, the official will issue a yellow or red card. Issuance of cards should be considered a warning to all players.
Issuance of Cards Administration Section 32.
Timeout must be called to administer warnings, suspensions, and ejections. The player receiving a card must leave the field and enter the penalty area
for two minutes (yellow) or four minutes (red) of elapsed playing time, which will carry over to the second half or overtime if necessary. No substitute may take her place. No player on the penalized team must be moved 4m behind. (Exception: See Goalkeeper Misconduct). If a goal is scored, the free position will take place at the draw with the opposing center 4m away at a 45-degree angle.
Her team must play short-handed below the restraining line in both its offensive and defensive ends of the field for the entire penalty time. A player receiving a yellow card may return to play after the two-minute penalty. If the half or a game (which goes to overtime) ends prior to the administration of the free position, the 2nd half or overtime will begin with a free position at center for the non-offending team. Player positioning for the draw shall apply.
Issuance of Cards Goalkeeper Misconduct Section 33.
If the player receiving the yellow card is the goalkeeper and there is no other “dressed” goalkeeper for her team, the goalkeeper must remain in the game and the team’s coach must designate another player who must leave the field and enter the penalty area for two minutes of elapsed playing time. If there is a second “dressed” goalkeeper, she must substitute and the carded goalkeeper must leave the field and enter the penalty area for the two minutes of elapsed playing time and the
team’s coach must designate another player who must leave the field and enter the penalty area along with the carded goalkeeper for two minutes of elapsed playing time. Either she or the second dressed goalkeeper who enters the game will be placed 4m behind the player with the ball on the restart of play. This will apply no matter where the goalkeeper is when she commits the foul, either inside or outside her goal circle. If a goal is scored and a free position will take place at the center, the goalkeeper or her substitute goalkeeper may remain in the goal circle for the restart of play.
If the goalkeeper is suspended (second yellow card) or ejected (red card) from the game, the team must substitute another goalkeeper if available, and the team’s coach must designate another player who must leave the field and enter the penalty area along with the suspended goalkeeper for two minutes (yellow) or four minutes (red) of elapsed playing time. If there is a second “dressed” goalkeeper, she must substitute. If there is not another “dressed” goalkeeper, time will be permitted to
dress a field player. However, if no option exists to dress a goalkeeper, no field player may substitute for the suspended goalkeeper for two minutes (yellow) or four minutes (red) of elapsed playing time.
Issuance of Cards Team Cards Section 34.
Should a team receive its fourth card (yellow or red) of the game they will play short below the restraining lines for the remainder of that game, including overtime, and an additional player will be removed from the game and enter the penalty area for each subsequent card received. The carded player will serve the entire two or four-minute penalty time. When the penalty time expires, she may return to the game only if she has not been suspended (second yellow card) or ejected (red card) and only if another player leaves the field using normal substitution procedures.
Issuance of Cards Early Re-entry Section 35.
If the carded player or any player replacing her enters the game before the penalty time has elapsed, the player originally receiving the card will serve an additional penalty, and no substitute may take her place. If the player entering early is the player who received the original card, she will be removed from the field of play
for the remainder of the penalty time and then serve the additional two-minute penalty for a yellow card or four-minute penalty for a red card. If the player entering early is not the player who received the original card, the officials will send a player from the offending team who is closest to her team bench area off the field, and the player who received the original card will serve the remainder of the penalty time and then serve the additional two-minute penalty for a yellow card or four-minute penalty for a red card. A change of possession will take place at the spot of the ball if warranted, and any free position will be awarded at the spot of the ball with a player from the offending team placed 4m behind the player with the ball. This is an extension of the penalty time and not an additional card.
Issuance of Cards Ejection/Suspension Section 36.
The official has the power to eject without any previous warning any player guilty of flagrant or repeated violation of the rules, dissent, misconduct, or abusive language. This immediate ejection will be noted by issuing a red card. Any player receiving a red card (ejected) must leave the field and enter the penalty area
for four minutes of elapsed playing time and no substitute may take her place during that four-minute period. Any player receiving a second yellow card (suspended) must leave the field and enter the penalty area for two minutes of elapsed playing time and no substitute may take her place during that two-minute period. Once the full penalty time has been served, the team may substitute another player for the player who has been ejected or suspended. Anyone receiving two yellow cards (suspended) or a red card (ejected) in the game will not be eligible for further participation in that game. Any ejected player receiving a red card will be prohibited from participating in the team’s next game. An ejected player must serve her next-game suspension in her team’s bench area for the entire game including on-field pre-game, game or postgame activities. The ejected player may not be dressed in her game uniform.
Issuance of Cards Coach Misconduct Section 37.
The head coach is responsible for the actions of any and all persons officially connected with his or her institution, including assistant coaches, and shall receive any card assessed related to bench decorum. In the event the head coach does not effectively control the actions of her team’s spectators, the head coach may be assessed a card.
Any card given to a head coach will count toward their team’s cumulative total. If the coach is carded she/he must designate a player who must leave the field and
enter the penalty area to serve the entire two minutes of elapsed playing time. In the event the head coach is warned, suspended or ejected, play is restarted within one minute with a free position to the opponent nearest the ball when play was stopped.
Issuance of Cards Coach Misconduct Section 38.
Any head coach who is suspended (two yellow cards) or ejected (red card) must leave the area, including the spectator area, of the game, and an interim head coach
must be specifically designated. If a red card is issued to the coach due to behavior of bench personnel, the head coach and the offender shall be removed from the field. In the case of a coach being removed from the field and an assistant coach or other authorized team personnel is not available, the team shall forfeit the game. Any ejected coach receiving a red card will be prohibited from participating in the team’s next game.
Issuance of Cards Post-Game Misconduct Section 38.
If a situation occurs after the game ends and before the officials leave the playing venue where conduct occurs that would warrant a red card during play, the official(s) can issue a post-game ejection to the offending player or coach to be served in the team’s next game.
Issuance of Cards Duration of Suspension Section 39.
If a team’s season ends before any next game suspension has been served the suspension will carry over to the teams next regular season game. Exhibition or scrimmage games do not satisfy the next game suspension requirement.
Issuance of Cards Official Responsibility Section 40.
The officials retain clerical authority over the contest through the completion of any reports, including those imposing disqualifications, that are responsive to actions occurring while the officials had jurisdiction. State associations may intercede in the event of unusual incidents before, during and after the official’s jurisdiction has ended or in the event that a contest is terminated prior to the conclusion of regulation play.
