Penalty cards

Umpires are encouraged to issue cards.  Misconduct of any participants (participants are defined as team members and officials including Players, Team Management, Coaching Staff, Medical Staff, Technical Support Staff and any duly appointed representatives) may result in cards being issued. 

The misconduct of a non playing participant may result in umpires issuing cards that exclude a participant from the dugout/turf and or issuing a card to the captain.  All team members, not just players, misconduct will be taken seriously. 

Umpire cards - There are cards available in the pigeon holes in the pavilion. If however there are none available at the time of umpiring, umpires are still able to issue cards without the physical presence of a card.
