How does the card system work?

Fouls and penalties · Rule 10.32

Sanction cards apply to individuals. In a game a player can progress from green to yellow to red, or receive an ejection red card. A referee can move directly to a higher level for a serious deliberate foul.

How it works

Sanction cards apply to individuals. In a game a player can progress from green to yellow to red, or receive an ejection red card. A referee can move directly to a higher level for a serious deliberate foul. Ejection red is a separate route with its own suspension and replacement rules.

In a game

A player already on yellow commits another card offence and receives red.

Remember

Ejection red is a separate route with its own suspension and replacement rules.
