6. | Our first concern is SAFETY. It is better for the referees to be overcautious when safety is concerned. |
|
a. | in case of injury the referee will stop play immediately except if there is a breakaway toward the goal and the injured player is away from the action. In such a case the referee will stand near the player and acknowledge the injury and also protect the injured player. After the shot or goal or end run, play will be stopped immediately. | |
|
b. | The injured player must leave the field and when play resumes a dropped ball will resume play. |
| 7. |
When a yellow card is called, the player must leave the field of play and can come back into the game at the first substitution. Second yellow card for any given player during game play will result in an immediate red card and expulsion from the game. |
| 8. | When a red card is issued the offending player must leave the game and will be forbidden to play the following game. Referees must notify the ref. coordinator and commissioner. |
|
