Discipline Process • The NCISL use the OSA Discipline Process • Discipline by hearing • Discipline by review

Discipline by hearing • You can not appeal a red card, instead you can request a hearing • A hearing costs $30 and must be requested in writing within 48 hours of the game • If you are found not guilty you will have your $30 refunded • You will be asked to meet a panel who will decide what action to take • You must attend the hearing • Decisions made by hearing may be appealed to the EODSA according to your rights of appeal (see web site under About section)

Discipline by review • If you do not request a hearing within 48 hours then the discipline by review process will be used • You will be issued the mandatory minimum suspension identified by the OSA • You will also be fined $25 • You can not appeal a decision made by discipline by review

About Discipline Index • A Discipline Index is used to help maintain an enjoyable and sporting environment for all NCISL members. • A team’s Discipline Index will determine whether or not their application into the NCISL league will be accepted, accepted with sanctions, rejected or possible expulsion from the league • Due to the increased numbers of cards last season, all teams that have a Discipline Index greater than 0. 70 will be on Performance Bonds (PB). • All teams will start at the YR 1 level of the Performance Bonds • Each Club in the NCISL should be striving to be in the Green Zone of the Discipline Index.

How to determine your Discipline Index? • 1 red card = 2 points • 1 yellow card = 1 point • Divide the total points by the total number of games that your team plays in the league during a season. This includes cup games. • IE: A team plays 20 games in a season obtains 2 red cards and 15 yellow cards. Their Discipline Index= (4+15)/20 • The Discipline Index for this team is equal to 0. 95

Discipline Index Red Zone 0. 7 and above $100 for every 0. 01 Warning Zone 0. 6 – 0. 69 Green Zone 0. 01 – 0. 59

Referee Complaints • Each season, the NCISL receives several Referee complaints • The NCISL Director of Referees will review each complaint and will respond to the person making the complaint, within 14 days • If required, the Director will speak to the Referee involved in the complaint to obtain their view of the situation • The Director will then determine if the complaint is justified or not • If the Director determines the Referee requires more education in applying the Laws of the Game, he will speak to the Referee personally • If the Director concludes the Complainant needs an explanation of the Laws, as the Referee was correct in applying the Laws, he will communicate directly with this person • Any serious misconduct by a Referee, who contravenes any of the OSA published rules, and a complaint is received by the NCISL, will be forwarded to the EODSA Referee Discipline Committee for further action
