when do cards reset?

If a player gets sent off in the district championship game, does he not have to sit out the next game?

Depends. What was the reason for the send off? My understanding is that red cards for a second yellow do not lead to suspension from the next game.

At least the next, maybe the one after that too. Depends on the reason for the ejection.

2 match suspension = foul and abusive language, violent conduct

1 match suspension = DOGSO (denying obvious goal scoring opportunity)

??? = double yellow.  I believe there is no suspension, but someone else will need to confirm.

From TSSAA Handbook.  No distinction is made between a straight red or double yellow / red.

 

Section 7.

 

 

Student Athletes Ejected for Unsportsmanlike Conduct in Any Sport

 

A. In contests in which registered TSSAA officials are involved, the officials will immediately notify the state office with both a telephone call and a written report if players are ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct. In soccer, this would be for a RED CARD ONLY. In sports where registered TSSAA officials are not used, it will be the responsibility of the principal and/or coach of the player involved to report this incident to the state office.

 

B. On the ejection of the student-athlete, the school will be required to submit a report on the action of the player and any disciplinary action taken by the school. The minimum penalty will be as follows:

   1. Football – 1 Game Suspension

   2. Soccer – 2 Game Suspension except for the following offenses which shall result in a 1 Game

Suspension:

         a. A player anywhere on the field (other than a goalkeeper within his/her own penalty area)

who deliberately handles a ball to prevent it from going into the goal.

         b. A foul by a player against an opponent who is moving toward his/her offensive goal with

an obvious opportunity to score.

   3. All other sports – 2 Game Suspension

 

The student-athlete is also suspended from all levels of participation (varsity, junior varsity, freshman) thesame number of contest(s) in the sport involved. If the student-athlete is a senior and cannot fulfill all of the disciplinary action due to the completion of the season, he/she will fulfill the action in the next sport in which they participate.

 

C. In addition to what is presently required when a player is ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct, a meeting shall be held with the player, coach, principal, and parent(s) or guardian(s) with a report on the meeting and plans to directly address the matter to be filed with the state office.

 

D. If a player is ejected for a second time for unsportsmanlike conduct, a more severe punishment shall be imposed.

 

E. Other non-monetary penalties may be assessed by the Executive Director based on all the facts.

 

F. In all situations where ejections occur for unsportsmanlike conduct, the individual will be removed from the next contest(s) following the one in which the ejection occurred.
