System A – temporary dismissal for all cautionable (YC) offences

A player who receives a second caution (YC) in the same match:

· may be replaced by a substitute at the end of the second temporary dismissal period if the player's team has not used its maximum number of substitutes and/or substitution opportunities, if applicable (this is because the team has already been ‘punished' by playing without that player for two temporary dismissal periods)
