Thank you


I'm going by US Lacrosse Rules (not PAL - they may be different). 2 yellows does not equal a red. A red is out for this game and the next game. 2 yellows is out for the rest of the game but can play in the next game. A red card does not mean you have to play down the entire game. Playing man down is based on the total number of cards you receive. Should a team receive its fourth card (yellow or red) of the game they will play short for the remainder of that game, including overtime, and an additional player will be removed from the game and enter the penalty area for each subsequent card received. The carded player will serve the entire two or four-minute penalty time. When the penalty time expires, she may return to the game only if she has not been suspended (second yellow card) or ejected (red card) and only if another player leaves the field using normal substitution procedures.
