IF ALL PLAYERS WILL PLAY BY THE LEAGUE RULES THEN THERE WILL BE NO NEED FOR ANY FORM OF LEAGUE DISCIPLINE.
HOWEVER IN CASE A PLAYER OR PLAYERS DO NOT CONFORM TO LEAGUE RULES HERE IS A REVIEW OF THE FORMS OF DISCIPLINE WHICH THE LEAGUE CAN AND WILL ENFORCE IF THE NEED ARISES.
1) ANY PLAYER(S) WHO REPEATEDLY EXHIBIT UNACCEPTABLE ROUGH OR VIOLENT BEHAVIOURS WHICH PUT OTHER PLAYERS AND THEMSELVES AT RISK WILL BE INDEFINITELY SUSPENDED FROM PLAYING IN THE LEAGUE. THIS PATTERN WILL HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIATED BY REPEATED PENALTIES AND SUSPENSIONS WHEREIN THE PLAYER DEMONSTRATES NO WILLINGNESS TO CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOURS TO CONFORM TO THE LEAGUES RULES WHICH IF FOLLOWED WILL PRODUCE A SAFE AND FUN ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS.
2) FIGHTING MAJOR PENALTIES
Any player receiving a major penalty for fighting will receive: If identified by referees as the INSTIGATOR OR THE AGGRESSOR then a FIVE (5) GAME SUSPENSION PLUS A $50.00 FINE WILL BE IMPOSED . For the non instigating or aggressor player WHO RETATIATES then a THREE (3) GAME SUSPENSION PLUS A $50.00 FINE WILL BE IMPOSED.
