GIRLS LACROSSE: RED CARD VIOLATION CLARIFICATION
If a player receives two yellow cards, they are out of the game (similar to fouling out in basketball). When the second yellow occurs, official will show both a yellow and red card, indicating that player must leave the game. However, no paperwork is required and the player may participate in the next game. A red card issued to a player for fighting or unsportsmanlike play, will require player to sit out the next game. This will be written up on the game suspension form. (see Rule 73.8 - MIAA Handbook)
