Discipline
Red Card
A permanent ejection for dangerous or violent play. The team plays with 14 (or fewer) for the remainder of the game.
What to Look For
Record immediately when the card is shown. Attribute to the player. This is a game-changing event.
Best Practices
Red cards almost always decide the match. Track the circumstances — was it a deliberate act or a reckless tackle? The distinction matters for coaching response.
