Player Substitution Clarification 10/8/07
Substitution is no longer allowed when a player receives a yellow card. That player may be substituted during any of the following stoppages in play.
Those times are:
- Prior to a throw-in, by the team in possession
- Prior to a goalkick; by either team
- After a goal is scored, by either team
- When play is stopped in order to attend to an injured player, by either team
- At half-time, by either team
If it is the 2nd yellow card for that player in a single game (2 Yellow cards equal a Red card and the player is ejected from the game immediately).
Note: No substitution is permitted on corner kicks.
BRCL Implements New Sportsmanship Reporting System
BRCL is implementing a new Sportsmanship reporting system. The
sportsmanship scores that are recorded on the orange game card by the
center referee are entered into each team's match report by BRCL's
assistant scorekeeper. The match report is available on each team's
schedule page by clicking on the game's score.
Both the division and team schedule page standings will contain two
columns.
- Sportsmanship Average (SP_AVG) - This is the average of three
sportsmanship scores for all games as reported on the orange card. The
center referee reports three separate sportsmanship scores: coaches,
parents and players. The sportsmanship scale is:
| +2 | = very good behavior |
| +1 | = good |
| 0 | = average |
| -1 | = below average behavior |
| -2 | = bad behavior |
- Sportsmanship Week (SP_WK) - This is the average three sportsmanship
scores for the last game.
Note: BRCL's orange card utilizes a sportsmanship scale of 0, 1, 2,
3, 4. For the Fall 2007 season, BRCL is subtracting 2 form the
sportsmanship score. Spring 2008's orange cards will be adjusted to the
+2 to -2 scale.
The Sportsmanship Reporting System is a new product and improvements
in this system will occur during the fall season.
BRCL Makes Two Rule Changes
When not to pay referees
- In the event the center referee is a no show, a match can only be
played if the substitute center referee is certified and that referee is
known to the home team's assignor. If no locally known certified center
referee is available, the game is to be rescheduled.
- Do not pay a parent who serves as linesman.
Yellow carded players
BRCL no longer requires a yellow carded player to be substituted. A
coach may decide to substitute the yellow carded player, but can only
substitute that player per the Laws of the Game.
