Question Number: 17028

League Specific 10/1/2007

RE: highschool Under 17

kevin of salisbury, ct usa asks...

This question is a follow up to question 16307

i was given a yellow card in the second half of my soccer game. then in overtime i was given a second yellow in which the ref held up a yellow and a red. i was sent off for the rest of the game because it was my second yellow. however my team was able to sub in still because it was technically a yellow card.

my question is am i punished like i was given a red card or am i punished like it was a red card?

Answer provided by Referee Chuck Fleischer

The significance of the referee holding a red and yellow card at the same time is you have been disqualified and may be replace with a substitute. This only applies to USA high school soccer played under NFHS rules. It is recommended by that body that you suffer a one match ban but it is left to your league to implement this ban.

Regards,
