New Red Card Procedure - beginning Spring 2011
The referee is to return ALL passes (EXCEPT for referee assault) to the coaches after completion of the game. The referee will, within 48 hours of the game, send the
FYSA Game Report and
FYSA Supplemental Referee Report of the player/coach receiving a red card documenting the red card violation to the league
VP of Discipline (Matt Hutchinson). Referees, please scan the documents and email (preferable) or send via US Mail.
When the VP of Discipline receives the reports, GCF is now responsible for determining the duration of the suspension to be given and for when the suspension is considered to be completed. The VP of Discipline will then forward the information along with length of suspension on to the appropriate parties (DC, league president, club president).
Upon or before completion of the suspension, the player must pay a $50 fine* (coach fine* is $100) to their club (check made out to their club) since their club will be assessed the fine by GCF. The club sends the Red Card Sanction History Report to both GCF AND the FYSA District Commissioner. A list of players/coaches receiving red cards will be posted on the league website under
Red Card Discipline.
