CASE: Third Yellow Card Suspension Not Served |
(
Commissioner's Rulings
) |
2004-05 Season (O.C. Art I, Sec 14, 9.1, 9.1.1) RULING: The results of the game remained the same due to the lack of clarity in the O.C. Although, a forfeit would change the seeding for playoffs, but not the match ups, and it would also be impossible to change the host city at this short notice. The player was suspended for the next game (first playoff game) and the matter was reviewed by the ACAC at the conclusion of the playoffs to determine if other sanctions were merited. For the balance of playoffs the Commissioner directed that suspensions from accumulated yellow cards be served in the game immediately following the one where the card was received. |
