UPCOMING SUSPENSIONS
(YELLOW CARD ACCUMULATION)

Accumulation of four (4) Yellow Cards (YC) in competitive Canadian Premier League matches results in a one-game suspension to be served immediately after the player’s fourth offence. The player would, therefore, be suspended for the next match.

Additional punishments are served for eight (8) and 12 yellow cards; two (2) and three (3) games respectively. If a player accumulates 15 yellow cards in the season, they will be required to attend a disciplinary hearing where, in addition to a three-game suspension this automatically triggers, they could face further sanctions.

Where a player plays in five (5) consecutive league matches without receiving a yellow card, red card, or other discipline sanction arising during such matches, they may automatically reduce the yellow card accumulation total by one yellow card. New for 2023 season: The “Good Behaviour Incentive” has been updated to begin after a player’s first yellow card, instead of after a player’s third yellow card. The incentive will now also apply up to a maximum of two (2) times in a season instead of only once, however the caution accumulation total can only reset to zero at the lowest and never a negative number. This does not apply to cautions received in the Canadian Championship. For the avoidance of doubt “plays” means actually enters the field of play either as a starter or a substitute. Further if the consecutive run is broken for any reason the five count starts again from the next time the player plays.
