Reference to temporary dismissals is found in:

The provision as it is printed, and everything on Ruleside that turns on it.

A temporary dismissal is when a player commits a cautionable (YC) offence and is punished by an immediate ‘suspension' from participating in the next part of the match. The philosophy is that an ‘instant punishment' can have a significant and immediate positive influence on the behaviour of the offending player and, potentially, the player's team.
