GMCL RULES - PENALTIES

The league operate a yellow card / red card system for defaults THE CARD SYSTEM APPLIES PER TEAM NOT PER CLUB
 

ANY THREE YELLOW CARDS FOR ANY OFFENCES ACROSS ANY SECTIONS MAKE A RED The rules allow leeway in some, not all, cases and in those cases, a yellow card can be rescinded if the offence is corrected within the time limit provided.

RED CARDS 1 POINT FOR FIRST RED CARD 2 POINTS FOR SECOND 3 POINTS FOR THIRD AND SO ON This is in addition to the other penalties as below.

if a club gets 3 red cards or more in a season across its teams then the club will be required to attend a meeting with a board committee to explain the offences and proposals for improvement. Also, any red card penalty regarding failing to submit starred player forms will be applied against the club’s highest placed team. In any game, the maximum card penalties for a team will not exceed one red card, but any rescindable yellow cards shall remain. So, for example, in a game where a team incurs 1 red card, 1 rescindable yellow and 1 non rescindable yellow, the card system penalty points deduction is the red card penalty. The slate is then wiped clean for that game (because the maximum for a game is a red) apart from the rescindable yellow which can still become a full yellow going forward if it is not remedied in the time provided after the game. Yellow cards remaining at the end of the season will carry over to the next season.
