PENALTY POINTS AND SUSPENSIONS

This years Summer Cup penalty points and suspensions will be determined by a totting up system. This is as follows.

Any 2 minute penalty = 0 PENALTY POINTS
Any 5 minute penalty = 1 PENALTY POINTS
All 10 minute penalties except checking from behind / to the head = 2 PENALTY POINTS
Any checking from behind or checking to the head penalty = 3 PENALTY POINTS
Any 2+2+10 attempted butt end/attempted spearing penalty = 3 PENALTY POINTS
Any game misconduct penalty = 3 PENALTY POINTS
Any 5+game penalty = 4 PENALTY POINTS
Any match penalty = 5 PENALTY POINTS + the normal one game ban
Any Match penalty in place of the old gross misconduct: Abuse of Official,Excessive Roughness etc…… 20 PENALTY POINTS, 4game ban + any other suspension from EIHA.

HOW TOTTING UP SYSTEM WORKS

Every time a player reaches 5 penalty points he will receive a one game ban. Certain calls can result in a player receiving higher bans for instants, a match penalty will be a normal 1 game ban + 5 penalty points which means a further 1 game ban. Please note that all Penalty points will carry over into the Play Offs.

Match Penalty for kicking = 6 Game Ban
Match Penalty for headbutting = 6 Game Ban

All players penalty points will be updated as soon as i receive the gamesheets from the Summer Cup games. It is the duty of all Team Managers and Game Co-ordinators to post all gamesheets by first class post to The Summer Cup Co-ordinator ,the Monday following that weekends Summer Cup games. If gamesheets fail to arrive by Thursday of the following week the team in question will be deducted 1 Summer Cup point. As soon as a player reaches the penalty points required to get a suspension, the team manager will receive a letter , e mail or telephone call to inform him/her of that suspension. All suspended players will be suspended with immediate effect.

It is the responsibility of all team managers that all suspended players sit their suspensions.Any teams playing suspended players will result in that team being deducted two league points per suspended player played and that player being suspended for the rest of the tournament.( please note that this offence will mean a 20-0 forfeit if found guilty during the play offs)
