Jungleboy,
If yellow/red cards received while playing summer soccer count and carry over to Provincials, then why wouldn't sitting out a string of summer games count as serving one's suspension?
You're right though. The RSSL think tank are going to have to figure this out pretty quickly.
this only happens in the B cup since there is a 6-8 week gap between the regular season and the B cup.
Disciplinary is always and should be a one way street. Even exhibition games where yellow/red cards were shown will constitute a suspension. But when you start mixing suspensions from different leagues in different time periods, all hell break loose.
From reading the rules from BCSA, your team must have PRIOR approval from Canucklehead and BCSA of your intentions of sitting games out and they must okay them in order for games to be served as suspensions. It would be pretty lame if you can haphazardly say these games from Richmond Summer league count as suspensions served. And I know Keith Kornder doesn't keep track of who plays in each game so it's really your honorable word against everyone else.
So did you guys get approval from BCSA in April for Rav and Jason to serve the suspended games in Kornder's league? Ya, we all know that answer.
