DISCIPLINE

YELLOW and RED CARDS

Players and teams are solely responsible for tracking all cards throughout the season. The player statistics shown on the website for carded players is intended to assist only. All game sheets for a team must be reviewed to determine the total number of cards for any player.

Please note: Only those cards on game sheets received in the CUSA office will be shown. Remember, there can be a delay between when your game is played and when the game sheets are received.

Upon receiving a third yellow card, that player must sit out their next immediate game or receive further discipline. After 6 yellows, a player must sit out 2 games and has a $30.00 fine.

Players and teams may review player statistics by viewing their team's Schedules and Standings, or confirm by email to our office.

DISCIPLINE PROCESS

Discipline cases can come from a number of sources:

Most discipline actions are handled administratively. Some discipline actions of a more serious nature may go directly to the Discipline Committee for their consideration.

Generally, players have the option of attending a hearing; however, occasionally players or teams are required to attend a hearing before a suspension will be applied. In the case of a game abandonment, both teams are required to attend regardless of the circumstances of the abandonment.

When misconduct reports are received in the CUSA office, the player and team official are advised, and provided with an immediate outcome and the next hearing date as well as a copy of their misconduct report and further instructions. For those who decide to attend a Discipline Hearing, the process of a hearing can be seen here.

It is still the responsibility of players to contact the CUSA office for information after they have received a red card. If you recieve a red card but have not recieved communication from the CUSA office within 5 business days, contact the CUSA Discipline Coordinator at admin@cusa.ab.ca or 403-270-0363.
