[QUOTE="Derpus, post: 1093574, member: 76427"] Here's my controversial opinion: No cards. Period. The system is too complicated to adjudicate consistently and effectively in the heat of the moment. It's simply impossible and is resulting in perverse outcomes. All foul play is referred to a citation panel who review all incidents and decide if it meets the threshold for disciplinary action. Said action can be taken to independent review by the disciplined player. Disciplinary action includes monetary fines (as a percentage of salary) as well as bans. The ref can still remove a player from the game for serious foul play (throwing punches and the like). But for the vast majority of 'cardable offences' the punishments comes after the match. [/QUOTE]
