As stated in the NDSC Rules and Regulations

After that period of time, the team shall not be accepted into membership for the playing season involved. There shall also be a deduction of one (1) point from the team’s point total in league standings.

Any red card issued to a player during a game shall result in a mandatory minimum one (1) game suspension without appeal. Further suspension may result upon review by the Discipline Committee through either the D.B.R. or D.B.H. system.

Deduction of points in league standings

A team shall have ONE (1) point deducted from its total in league standings for each of the following:

For the non-payment of fees and/or the non-completion of team registration forms as outlined under fees in the constitution

For each accumulation of five (5) infractions resulting in yellow cards issued to players or warnings issued to team officials during a playing season

For each accumulation of two (2) infractions resulting in red cards issued to players or dismissals of team officials during a playing season

Suspensions resulting from red cards issued to players or dismissals of team officials during playoffs will be carried forward to the next playing season (indoor to indoor, outdoor to outdoor)

Cancellation of a Playoff/Cup game due to non or partial appearance of a team to play the game

The listed coach and manager/team official of a team which fails to complete a playoff/cup schedule shall be suspended from all games for one calendar year

– PROTESTS

The Discipline Committee shall hear all protests arising out of any league game.

The fee for such protest shall be $ 50.00 payable by ‘Certified’ Cheque, Money Order or cash.

The protest shall be sent in writing to the Secretary, together with the fee, within forty-eight (48) hours of the game to which it refers.

The postmark shall be considered to be the date sent and no responsibility shall be assumed by The Board for protests not received unless they are sent by registered mail. In all cases of protest, a copy of such protest must also be delivered to the protesting team’s opponent or official within the time stipulated. Hand delivery of a protest within the specified time is permitted, but proof of delivery in the form of a receipt must be available.

Any protests relating to the grounds, goal posts, crossbars, colours or other appurtenances of the game shall not be entertained unless notice of complaint was lodged with the referee prior to the game or at the time it was discovered during the game. The referee shall require the team responsible to rectify the cause of the objection if this can be accomplished without unduly delaying the game. The referee may abandon the game if rectification is not possible and to continue would, in his/her opinion, be dangerous or otherwise unfeasible.

The decision by The Discipline Committee on a protest may only be overturned by appeal to SNE or higher body in accordance with that body’s rules.
