Players sent from the field with a yellow card will be required to take a seat next to the team’s dugout. The Match Day Controller will keep track of the time and allow the player to warm up in the near vicinity with one (1) minute to go. Any players with a red card will be required to leave the fenced area immediately through the players’ gate and go to their change room.
