Cautions, Discipline & Fines

All players start their Einnek careers with a clean disciplinary record. Throughout their career their disciplinary record will have a major effect on the length of any suspension s they may have to server due to poor on-field behaviour. A player’s disciplinary record is commonly referred to as DIPS.

Each season a player will also have a personal caution count. Every yellow card counts a one caution, while a straight red card counts as three cautions. When this season long total reaches 5, 10 or 15 cautions then that player will have to serve a suspension.
When a player is cautioned during a game or reaches a season long caution threshold, the following fines and/or suspensions apply:

Caution Type	Fine	Disciplinary Points	Basic Suspension
Yellow Card	£10,000	2	None
2 Yellow Cards	£30,000	6	1 match
Red Card	£50,000	10	2 matches
5, 10 or 15 cautions	-	-	1 match

The basic suspension length will be increased for every 24 (*) DIPS a player has accumulated during their career. For each * DIPS a player has will result in the suspension length being doubled.

Examples:
1. A player who reaches 5 cautions in a season and has *10 DIPS will serve a 2 match ban.
2. Another player on *8 DIPS following sent-off following 2 yellow cards. He will also have to serve 2 match ban.
3. A straight red card is shown to a player which move his DIPS to **6. His suspension will be 6 games.

Suspensions come into force immediately with no review or appeal. League, cup and friendly challenge fixtures are affected by suspensions.  While serving a suspension a player cannot be retired or transfer listed, they however can be sold in an outside transfer deal.

Players who are serving a domestic suspension when their nation are due to play an international fixture will not be eligible for selection.
